Tickets for what is being described as a "standalone show" will go on sale at 10am on Friday 29th April via MyTicket.co.uk.

The show will feature Hard-Fi's original line-up of Richard Archer (vocals and guitar), Ross Phillips (guitar), Kai Stephens (bass) and Steve Kemp (drums).

Archer said: "It's fair to say it's been a while since we've all played together so we're all really excited to be getting on stage again.

"It's a Saturday night so hopefully we can recapture the spirit of those gigs back in the day. We may even throw out one or two new numbers into the mix. The Forum is one the classic venues to play, so it's going to be a special night for everyone."
