On July 19 2025, Funeral For A Friend will return to Wales for a special performance at Rock the Castle in Cardiff Castle, accompanied by all of the above acts as well as Skindred, and Dream State.

The newly announced live shows follow Funeral For A Friend’s 2023 tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album ‘Casually Dressed & Deep In Conversation’. The band recently performed at this year’s edition of Slam Dunk and Download Festival and have shared their live performance of their 2005 track ‘Roses For The Dead’. The band’s last studio release was 2015’s ‘Chapter and Verse’. That same year they put out the live LP ‘Hours (Live At Islington Academy, London, 2014)’.
The band will once again be joined by Holding Absence vocalist Lucas Woodland, who performed with the band at Slam Dunk and Download this year following the departure of original vocalist Matthew Davies-Kreye in December 2023.
In other news, Funeral For A Friend were a part of 1,000 musicians including members of The Blackout, Holding Absence and who came together to pay tribute to Linkin Park at a huge show in Birmingham this past summer.
