Feeling - Tours and Festivals

In 2006, The Feeling toured the United States, opening for The Fray and strengthening their following across the Atlantic. In November 2006, just days after returning from the US, the band headed off on their first major UK and Ireland tour, playing at Birmingham, London, Cambridge, Brighton, Oxford, Southampton, Cardiff, Bristol, Manchester, Nottingham, Liverpool, Newcastle, Hull, Glasgow, Leeds, Belfast and Dublin. During this time, the band maintained a blog on The Sun newspaper's website. It continued intermittently until January 2007.

At the end of March 2007, the band went Stateside once again, taking part in VH1's first ever "You Oughta Know" tour alongside Mat Kearney and Rocco DeLuca and The Burden. The tour lasted approximately two months, and finished with The Feeling playing the 2007 Coachella festival in Indio, California. The band also headlined a mini-tour of the UK's forests around June 2007. They played at large clearings and forest activity sites, leading Gillespie Sells to quip about playing to elves.

The Feeling perfoemed at the 2008 V Festivals in Chelmsford and Staffordshire in August. On 7 March 2008, they embarked on a mini-tour of the UK, starting in Birmingham Academy and ending at London. On 1 April 2008, it was confirmed that they would support Bon Jovi at four of their seven dates on the UK leg of Bon Jovi's Lost Highway World Tour. The band have already confirmed that they will play at the Isle Of Man Bay Festival in June and a special concert at Epsom Downs Racecourse in July.

Feeling Tickets are available at Sold Out Ticket Market on nominal rates.
