Gang of Four have announced their final EU/North American Tour labeled ‘The Long Goodbye’. The band – touring as Jon King (vocals), Hugo Burnham (drums) and David Pajo of Slint (guitar) will say farewell to fans across North America and Europe in 2025.
The show 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 play 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!"
