The Embrace show will see the band perform their critically-acclaimed debut album The Good Will Out 21 years after its release.

Lead singer Danny McNamara said: “We were born in Halifax and every time we’ve played there it’s been a really special gig.

"Now we have the honour of playing The Good Will Out 21st Anniversary gig at the legendary Piece Hall, a massive part of Halifax’s history, with a great line up of support bands we love.

"To say we’re all really looking forward to it would be a huge understatement.”
