The Music Announce Farewell Shows

• 20th Jul 2011

After 10 years, three albums and a wealth of unforgettable live shows, The Music have announced what will be their last shows as a band before they go their separate ways this summer.

Formed in 1999 just outside Leeds, the band released their hugely acclaimed eponymous debut album in 2002. “The People” from that album was a radio hit world-wide and saw them tour the globe extensively.

The band commented on their final shows: “We've come so far together and now it's time to end things the right way and in the place we love the most – onstage playing live. We're going to give it our all for these last times together and it's going to be emotional, but were really glad to get back to Japan one last time where people have been so good to us over the years, and we send our love and thoughts to everyone there who has been affected by the terrible events of March 11th. We'll be saying thank you to so many people over these dates and we'll start now by saying thanks to anyone who's been with us on this incredible trip. We're all looking to the future and what comes next, but we'll always be grateful for the years, times and experiences we've shared. We're going to make these shows as much of a party as we can, and we hope people turn up to celebrate with us.”

The Music play London's O2 Brixton Academy on August 4th, and Leeds O2 Academy on August 5th. More information can be found by following this link.
