Following yesterday’s announcement that they were splitting up, Wild Beasts have announced a farewell tour and a farewell release the ‘Punk Drunk And Trembling’ EP.

‘Wild Beasts are coming to an end. Our hearts and minds have been devoted to the band since we were teenagers. We’ve created something quite of our own and built a body of work which we stand by as heartfelt and true. The four of us have decided for our own reasons and in our own ways that it is now time to leave this orbit. We’re care takers to something precious and don’t want to have it diminish as we move forward in our lives. Thank you for your love and energy and for helping us make it what it is. We consider ourselves remarkably fortunate to have lived out this dream. Before we go, we’d like to celebrate with you’.

As part of the celebrations, the band has also announced their final ever live dates.  Join Wild Beasts at:

February 15^th – Dublin Olympia

February 16^th – Manchester Albert Hall

February 17^th – London Eventim Apollo

Tickets will be available for pre-sale via the band’s site on Wednesday the 27^th of September from 9am, general sale from 9am on Friday the 29^th of September.
