Funeral For A Friend have announced their headline UK 2011 tour with support from Rise To Remain.

Funeral For A Friend will hit the road in March / April next year with a string of dates at intimate venues, some of which are in towns they’ve never actually played before.

Vocalist Matt Davies-Kreye is excited to say the least;

“Spring time is gonna be the time to lay waste to the UK good and proper! It’s been too long since we’ve sauntered our way across the British Isles and with a bag full of ass kicking songs in tow this tour is going to blow people away!”

It’s a chance for the band to keep up their personal connection with those who’ve supported them throughout the years and get in front of those fans who may not have had a chance to catch them live before.

Support on these dates will come from fast rising British band Rise To Remain who won Best British Newcomer at both the Metal Hammer and Kerrang! Awards this year. They’ve just completed work on their debut album with Colin Richardson and Carl Bown.

The full tour dates are as follows;

March:
Wednesday 16th ABERYSTWYTH, Arts Centre
Thursday 17th BUCKLEY, The Tivoli Venue
Friday 18th PENRITH, Penrith Leisure Club
