Titled A Decade of Cavalcade, the tour will see the band perform the 2015 album in full, revisiting the brooding, emotionally charged sound that first captured listeners’ imaginations. It's both a nod to the past and a sign of how far they've come. And perhaps, where they’re heading next.

The announcement comes off the back of a landmark year for the band. Their latest album, Out Of A Dream, debuted at Number 11 on the Official UK Albums Chart, their highest placing to date, and has fuelled further momentum across streaming platforms.

With an ever-growing fanbase and a reputation for intense live shows, The Slow Readers Club appear to be hitting their stride.

Cavalcade marked a turning point when it landed in 2015. Tracks like Plant The Seed, I Saw A Ghost and Forever In Your Debt struck a chord with a generation of indie fans. Its atmospheric intensity and lyrical depth set the blueprint for the band’s sound and future success.

Support from fellow Mancunians James proved crucial in those early years. An invitation to join them on tour introduced The Slow Readers Club to a wider audience and helped cement their standing in the UK’s indie landscape.

Now, ten years on, they’ll bring Cavalcade back to life on stage, performing it in full alongside highlights from the rest of their catalogue. The upcoming shows promise to be a mix of nostalgia and forward momentum, a celebration of a landmark record and a band still very much on the rise.

Football: Lincoln City 4 - 2 Bolton Wanderers

Lincoln all but ended Bolton’s play-off ambitions on Easter Monday. This was achieved with a pulsating 4-2 win at the LNER Stadium, where veteran striker James Collins struck twice. Author - Sophie T Erik Ring and Reeco Hackett were also on the scoresheet for the hosts. Jay Matete and Alex Murphy replied for Bolton, who slipped to a fourth straight defeat at the worst possible time. The Imps took an early lead when Ring’s inswinging cross, delivered from a short corner routine, sailed through a crowded box and nestled into the far corner of Nathan Baxter’s net. Ben House went close to doubling the advantage, but Baxter saved well from his flicked effort. Moments later, Lincoln were awarded a penalty after Ethan Erhahon was bundled over by David Abimbola.  Collins then stepped up and lashed the spot-kick into the roof of the net to make it 2-0 after just 17 minutes.

Bolton's play-offs dented again Bolton Wanderers' hopes of securing a play-off place took another hit as they suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to Wycombe, extending their difficult run of form to three straight losses. Author - Sophie T Steven Schumacher's side struggled to create clear chances at the Toughsheet Community Stadium and failed to register a single shot on target over the 90 minutes. The result leaves Wanderers outside the top six with just three matches remaining and puts serious pressure on their promotion ambitions. A frustrating afternoon took a further turn when former Bolton loanee Caleb Taylor, who scored a late winner for Wycombe the previous weekend, returned to haunt his old side. The defender opened the scoring in the 58th minute, rising highest to head home from Luke Leahy’s well-delivered free-kick.

But County responded with resilience, skipper Fraser Horsfall heading home from an Ollie Norwood corner to draw the hosts level. The momentum swung firmly in County’s favour in the closing stages when they were awarded a penalty in the 86th minute.
