Funeral For A Friend Birmingham show upgraded due to popular demand
Funeral For A Friend's upcoming show has seen the venue upgraded due to popular demand.
The show, that will see the Welsh sextet perform their first three albums in full, will now take place at Birmingham O2 Academy, instead of the O2 Institute.
The venue was changed following popular demand that saw tickets for the show sell out on release.
The group reformed for three charity shows last year in support of Stu Brothers, a man who started the first forum dedicated to the band before they even had their own website, was diagnosed with a terminal illness.
To raise money for his young family, the rockers played three shows across Cardiff and London with all proceeds donated to the Brothers family.
