Embrace's last secret gig: The Big One
oappleby by Ollie Appleby September 1st, 2001
Embrace's next secret gig will probably be the band's last this year, according to frontman Danny McNamara.

The gig takes place at a so-far unnamed venue in Leeds on September 22. The band are asking fans to turn up in fancy dress for what Danny is calling The Big One.

Embrace embark on a full UK tour in October.

McNamara told the official Embrace website the group's tour plans mean the secret Leeds gig could be the group's last for a while. "This one is going to be the big one. It's also probably going to be the last one for a while as we are going to be on tour for the rest of the year.

"I'm not going to spoil the surprises we've got in store so I won't say any more except that we would like you to wear fancy dress. There will be a golden ticket for the most imaginative costume, and bring some sunflowers."

Embrace's new album, 'If You've Never Been', is released on September 3rd.
