Gang of Four announce farewell tour
Gang of Four recently announced a new reissue of their 1982 album Songs of the Free as part of their Matador Records reissue campaign. And now, as the group approaches the 45th anniversary of their landmark debut album Entertainment!, they’ve announced a farewell tour in 2025. The group—which currently includes Jon King (vocals), Hugo Burnham (drums) and David Pajo (guitar)—will be performing Entertainment! in its entirety each night. Check out the dates below.
The band said in a statement, “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!”
Gang of Four’s Entertainment! is featured on our list of the 150 Best Albums of the 1970s.
