TICKETS are selling fast for Feeder’s special anniversary concert.

The band, which has sold five million records, will appear at Chepstow Racecourse on August 25 to celebrate 21 years of albums.

The gig is a return to lead singer Grant Nicholas’ hometown of Chepstow.

He said: “The Chepstow idea has been floating around for a few years, but I didn’t feel it was the right time. Then the anniversary came up and I couldn’t think of a better place.

“It’s great to finally play Chepstow for the first time after all these years.

“This year will be the 21st anniversary since the release of Swim, so it seems right to do a show near the town where we grew up and where we started to get into music.”

Phil Bell, managing director of Chepstow Racecourse, is pleased. He said: “I have been a fan of Feeder for many years. I was looking to book them at the racecourse without realising that Chepstow was Grant’s home town.”

Mr Nicholas was born in Newport and grew up in the Chepstow area.

The band consists of Mr Nicholas and Taka Hirose. Their top 20 hits include Feeling A Moment, Just The Way I’m Feeling, Just A Day and Buck Rogers.

At the show they will also perform songs from their top ten studio album All Bright Electric from 2016.

Mr Nicholas added: “I admit I feel a little pressure to put on a good show, but I always get nervous before performing.

“That’s a good thing because if the nerves stop you are going through the motions too much. I want each show to be different and exciting.”

“What I want to do is make it as fun for the audience as possible and we want to enjoy it and really rock out.”
