Supported by a little known band at the time called Muse, Feeder spent four months playing their latest album Yesterday Went Too Soon, alongside material from their debut release, Polythene.

As you can see from the gallery, fans packed out The Ipswich Corn Exchange to see the band - and their warm-up act, without realising Muse would go on to the be the real stars, later headlining Coachella and Glastonbury festivals.
