The Maccabees tickets onsale tomorrow

Dear Everyone,

Firstly, huge thanks to anyone who has come out to see us at our first handful of live shows for a while, a very good feeling to be back playing. Was great to be back at Bestival and especially nice to see Mick Jones still in such good form with B.A.D and PJ Harvey the evening before. On that note we are happy to announce our first UK tour in over a year. The shows, listed below, will be an opportunity for us to play the new songs that we have aired at the last few gigs as well as a few others and a pick of songs off the first two records. Although not yet totally confirmed, we should also be taking out two of our favourite new bands as support.

Our third album is very near completion and expect to hear news on it's arrival in the near future. Until then, we're really looking forward to these shows...

Q 25th anniversary

To celebrate Q Magazine’s 25th anniversary, we’ve got 2 super dooper Fiction collectors covers this month – check out Elbow and Snow Patrol on the front:

To pre-order your cover, head to www.greatmagazines.co.uk/Q25 - goes live at midday today. We can’t choose between them so we’re going to have to order both.

Fiction on #Jools on iPlayer...

In case you missed Later With Jools live on Tuesday night, links below to the show on iplayer. The mighty Snow Patrol opened the show with ‘Called Out In The Dark’, followed by a smashing performance from The Duke Spirit ‘Surrender’.
Snow Patrol close the show with an epic performance of ‘This Isn’t Everything You Are’.

Extended show goes out on Friday night this weekend – spot any of the Fiction team (and that doesn’t include the bands, we’re not stupid) and tweet us @fictionrecords #jools and we will send you a surprise.

An evening in with Fiction

Even though its September it feels like bloody winter outside already  - get on that sofa tonight and watch the first in the new series of Jools Holland.
The Duke Spirit perform their latest single ‘Surrender’, followed by 2 new tracks from Snow Patrol. Magic.

p.s. look out for The Beard in the crowd, tweet us @fictionrecords #jools if you spot him, and depending how drunk we get on Jools’ unlabelled beverages we might send you a surprise in the post.
