The Feeling
Tickets are already on sale for dates from Portsmouth to Northampton, and Dan Gillespie Sells credits the 2006 record with keeping the original line-up intact.
The Feeling have locked in the complete November itinerary for their twentieth-anniversary celebration of *Twelve Stops and Home*, and tickets are already on sale for all fifteen UK headline dates.
The run opens on 3 November at The Gaiety in Portsmouth and closes on 27 November at Roadmender in Northampton. Between those dates the band play Liverpool O2 Academy on 4 November, Cardiff Tramshed on 5 November, Oxford O2 Academy on 6 November and Bournemouth O2 Academy on 7 November. Later stops are Eastbourne Winter Gardens on 11 November, Margate Drill Shed on 12 November, Frome Cheese & Grain on 14 November, Torquay Arena on 15 November, Lincoln The Drill on 18 November, Shrewsbury Buttermarket on 19 November, Middlesbrough The Empire on 20 November, Carlisle The Old Fire Station on 25 November and Coventry Empire on 26 November.
Each gig will see the debut album performed in full, with other favourites from across the catalogue woven around it. The November stretch follows a spring leg of anniversary shows, giving the campaign a full year on the road rather than a short burst of capital dates.
Why the debut still anchors the band
Frontman Dan Gillespie Sells said the album "changed all our lives as a band". Its success, he added, allowed the original line-up to continue for another twenty years, and they remain the best of mates.
Released in June 2006, *Twelve Stops and Home* sold around 1.5 million copies and earned triple platinum certification in the UK. It delivered four Top 10 singles, including Sewn, and secured the Ivor Novello Award for Songwriters of the Year. For a pop-rock group who started out in Horsham, Sussex, that first full-length remains the commercial peak and the emotional reference point.
The path since then has been steady rather than explosive. An early EP, *Four Stops and Home*, and the Sewn single paved the way in 2006. *Boy Cried Wolf* followed in 2013; a self-titled album arrived in 2016. *Loss. Hope. Love.* came in 2022, the concert document *Live in London* in 2023, and *San Vito* in 2024. Reimagined versions of Fill My Little World and Never Be Lonely appeared the same year as the live record, and a 2026 mix of Still You Want More has kept new product in the racks between albums. Through all of it the writing partnership and the original line-up have held.
Taking *Twelve Stops and Home* from first track to last is therefore a statement about craft as much as nostalgia. The rooms chosen for November — academies, a tram shed, the Cheese & Grain, winter gardens, a buttermarket — suit a set of songs that once owned daytime radio without ever belonging only to stadium scale.
What is confirmed, what is not
Tickets went on sale as soon as the full list was issued. No extension beyond Northampton on 27 November has been announced with this package, and there is no word yet on whether any of the anniversary nights will be filmed or issued as a live album.
For an audience that has lived with the debut for two decades, the clarity of the November map matters: the whole record, the same line-up, and a route that works the country from the south coast to Cumbria. That is the shape of the anniversary as it now stands.
