Alexisonfire Split Up After Ten Years

Alexisonfire have announced that that they have split up after ten years together.

The band broke the news to fans over the weekend (August 6) after the departure of guitarists Dallas Green and Wade MacNeil.

In a statement, singer George Pettit said: “There is no good way to put it so I’m just going to say it.  After 10 years, Alexisonfire has decided to part ways.”

He added: ''Was the break up amicable? Not really. Was it necessary? Probably. Regardless, the members of this band are my family and I wish them nothing but good fortune.

“In closing, I would like to offer my sincerest gratitude to the fans of Alexisonfire around the world. I’m forever grateful to anyone who has ever taken any interest in what we did. You were the coal that stoked our engines. You have given us a spectacular decade, rich with experience and joy. We love you all.”

Meanwhile, Dallas Green's City And Colour have details of a UK tour, set to take place in October. Tickets are on sale now. For more details and to buy City And Colour tickets, check out Gigwise Gig Tickets.
