What can fans expect from the setlist?
Frontman Dave Faulkner explained the concept behind the tour: the band is committing to playing only songs that were released as singles. “We’ve often been described as a ‘singles band’, so for this ‘Rewind’ tour we’re gonna embrace that notion by only playing songs that were released as singles,” he said. “No b-sides, no album tracks, we’ll just be concentrating on the hits, and quite a few misses as well.”
