A low-ticket warning has been issued for a band competing for the UK number-one album spot's Cardiff show.

Shed Seven will perform at Cardiff University Great Hall on November 15 as part of their 30th-anniversary tour.

Much of the tour has already sold out, while the band competes with Bring Me The Horizon for their second number-one album of 2024, with Liquid Gold.

Guitarist Paul Banks said: "We’re absolutely over the moon to share that we’ve hit number one in the Official Charts midweek update.

"Shed Seven has had an incredible 30 years, and this year has been nothing short of unforgettable.

"We've climbed every rung of the ladder in this industry, starting out in independent venues.

"When we look back at the places we played in 1994, it's heartbreaking to see how many have closed their doors.

"Independent bands need independent labels, record shops, and venues, and we want to give something back.

"That’s why we’re thrilled to release a limited edition Liquid Gold CD, with all profits going to the Music Venues Trust.

"It features demos that really capture the rawness of Shed Seven, that same energy we had when we played those venues early in our career.

"Without independent venues, there would be no Shed Seven."

Vocalist Rick Witter added: "It’s important for all new up-and-coming young acts to have the opportunity to play venues like these, as it's a crucial part of any artist's journey to get a foothold on the musical path.

"Long may these venues exist."
