Refused have announced their final European and UK tour dates before disbanding

Refused have announced their final European and UK tour dates, marking the end of their career with a series of farewell shows across multiple countries.

The Swedish hardcore punk band, who formed in 1991, will embark on their last run of headline performances throughout Germany, France, Switzerland, the UK, and Ireland.

The tour follows their recent celebration of the 25th anniversary of 'The Shape of Punk to Come', which saw the release of a limited collector's edition featuring unreleased demos, alternate versions, and a tribute album titled 'The Shape of Punk to Come Obliterated'. The anniversary collection included covers and remixes from artists including Quicksand, Gel, IDLES, and Touché Amoré.

"Gotta love festivals but of course we want to come and sweat and dance with you one last time. We could not be more excited, let's make sure that we celebrate the demise of Refused in grand fashion!!!" says frontman Dennis Lyxzén.
