The Feeling in Leeds: Door times, bag policy and what the band have been playing on the road recently

Emerging as one of the definitive acts of the mid-2000s, the band dominated the charts with an era of melodic brilliance, and this tour marks a milestone return to perform their iconic debut in its entirety alongside their biggest hits.

For Leeds music fans, the band's unadulterated brand of ‘proper’ pop - harking back to the spirit of The Beatles and Supertramp - has built a reputation for heart-wrenching anthems and good-time, high-energy sets.

This anniversary tour is a victory lap for the five-piece, whose meteoric rise saw them spend weeks dominating the UK singles charts.

Joining them for the evening is Sandi Thom, who became a household name in 2006 with her chart-topping anthem ‘I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in My Hair)’, and together, they offer a perfect double-bill of noughties nostalgia for the Leeds crowd.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of their arrival at Leeds Beckett Students’ Union on Friday (March 6)

What time are the doors opening for The Feeling in Leeds?

Doors for the show at Leeds Beckett Students' Union are scheduled to open at 7pm, with the evening set to wrap up by 11:00pm, which follows the venue's standard curfew and ensures fans have plenty of time to catch the final public transport services home from the city centre.

For those who have secured the premium Twelve Stops & Soundcheck Experience tickets, it is important to note that you will likely be required to arrive significantly earlier for your exclusive three-song soundcheck and Q&A session with the band.

What is the bag policy for Leeds Beckett Students' Union?

The venue conducts strict bag searches upon entry to ensure the safety of all attendees.

Visitors are strongly encouraged to refrain from bringing large bags, as these will significantly slow down access for everyone: as there are no dedicated cloakroom facilities for large luggage items on site, travelling light is highly recommended.

What should I bring with me?

Make sure you bring with you the following essentials:

• ID: The venue operates a Challenge 25 scheme for alcohol sales, so ensure you have a valid photo ID.
• Tickets: Have your digital or physical tickets ready for scanning; official tickets are handled through partners like Gigs & Tours and Ticketmaster.
• Age Requirements: This is a 14+ event, and all under-14s must be accompanied by an adult over the age of 18.

What can I not bring with me?

Prohibited items typically include outside food or drink, bottles, outside promotional material, drugs (including ‘legal’ highs), any item that could be used as a weapon and professional recording equipment.

The venue is strictly non-smoking, and guests are expected to respect all site policies to maintain a safe environment.

Verified resale options may be available through Ticketmaster or Twickets for those who missed the general sale.
