Please note this show has been rescheduled from Friday 4th March to Mon 6th June. Original tickets remain valid. Refunds are available from up until 24 hours before the rescheduled date.

See following statement from the band:

“We've had to postpone our February/March tour due to recording commitments for our album that have only just surfaced. We are totally gutted to be doing this so late, and we were looking forward to getting on the road and playing to so many of you who bought tickets. All the tickets will still be 100% valid for the June re-scheduled dates, and we'll be back and with a new album under our belt. “ Futures

 

The boy who cried wolf found himself in a bit of a pickle. Some stories said all of his silly hijinks led to him getting all of his lovely sheep eaten. Other versions say that he himself got gobbled up by them crafty wolves. Both outcomes pretty rubbish. London four-piece Futures had much better luck with 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' however, as it was the name of their debut single that flung them into a place of success and happiness. Granted, slightly different situation, but definitely anything but rubbish.

 

Success seems to be the wonderfully common denominator for Futures. It's a pretty good one to have. Most new bands for example, wouldn't be able to say that their first live show ever together completely sold out. Or that the inclusion of their mini-album 'The Holiday' in Rock Sound would lead the issue to be the biggest selling copy of the magazine in two years. How about headlining a stage at the most prestigious date on the pop-punk calendar, Slam Dunk festival? Definitely not. Well, now you can see just what 'success' is equating to for Futures.

 

The band itself is the result of a new project for the members of Tonight Is Goodbye, an act now sat on a cloud strumming a harp in musical heaven. Naming themselves after Jimmy Eat World's 2004 album, you can expect a lot of Jimmy-esque pop-driven emotion-laden vocals being given the fiery kick of solid alternative rock instrumentally. Think the light floatiness in the pop-punk of the likes of Mayday Parade or Hit The Lights being put through a Rocky-style training montage courtesy of We Are The Ocean. Futures have taken the fun fluff, given it a slap and told it to man up a bit. 'Sal Paradise', '16' and 'Holiday' are all irresistibly good tracks for anyone liking melodic rock that can get you moving.

 

Momentum has been building rapidly for this band, their loyal following ever expanding and support increasing with every live date. Their headlining tour in Spring 2011 is set to be a truly unmissable event, so make sure you don't miss this 'next big thing' play Manchester Academy 3 on Friday 4th March.
