Gang of Four have announced their final North American Tour, labeled ‘The Long Goodbye’. The band – touring as Jon King (vocals), Hugo Burnham (drums), and David Pajo (guitar) will say farewell to fans across North America in Spring of 2025.
The shows will mark a celebration of the band’s live performances. The iconic debut album, Entertainment!, is still as relevant, exciting, and influential as ever. After 45 years, the band will tour North America for the very last time, playing the album front to back, followed by a second set filled with fan-favorites and hit songs.
As pioneers of the post-punk movement, Gang Of Four’s music favored tense rhythms, percussive guitar, and lyrics that traded in Marxist theory and situationism.
“2025 will be the 45th anniversary of the release of Entertainment! in the US, and will be our final year as a band. It’s been wonderful, but all things must end. We want to go out with a bang and celebrate with our fans and friends. So, on what will be our last US tour, we’ll play two sets at each show: Entertainment! from start to finish in the first, and the best of the rest in the second. Come and join in, it’ll be a blast!"
