There’s one extra chance to say goodbye to The Maccabees on their 2017 UK tour.

A second night at the Manchester Apollo has been confirmed for June 27th and will now start the tour ahead of the previously announced show there on the 28th and gigs at Alexandra Palace in London on June 30th and July 1st.

Arguably at their peak after Marks To Prove It went number one last year following 2012’s career high of Given To The Wild, the band made public their decision to split after 14 years back in August, writing:

“After 14 years as a band we have decided to call it a day. The decision has obviously been an incredibly difficult one, given that The Maccabees has been such a huge part of our lives until now. We are very proud to be able to go out on our own terms, at our creative peak and off the back of the best and biggest shows we have ever done.”

“There have not been fallings out and we are grateful to say that we are not leaving the group behind as a divided force. It has been a rare and absolutely incredible time that we all feel very lucky to have shared.”

2017 tour dates:

JUNE
27, 28 – Manchester, O2 Apollo
30 – London, Alexandra Palace

1 – London, Alexandra Palace
