The gig in support of the band’s fourth album Hold on to Your Heart will take place on March 1. Lead singer Murray Macleod said of the group’s new LP: “We really did shoot for the stars with this one.”

He added that the tracks were inspired by a bad break-up, adding: “The songs are coming from a really bad place. I’d become a really empty human being – it felt like my wires were all lined-up perfectly and colour co-ordinated and as soon as my girlfriend and I broke up, it was like someone had yanked them all out.

“I couldn’t really relate to anyone, I was struggling to talk to people, I just couldn’t go out and face the world.

“Fundamentally I just felt completely worthless, I just didn’t know who I was and I didn’t really care about who I was either.”

Tickets costing £9.57 (£8.50 ticket plus a £1.07 service fee) are available from Midland Box Office by calling 0870 320 7000 or online at wolvescivic.co.uk.
