Aussie rock band The Beards have broken big bearded hearts all over the country by announcing they will be calling it an end and heading out on one last, huge farewell tour in 2016.
“We feel like we've achieved what we set out to achieve through music.” Explains frontman Johann Beardraven. “A lot more people have beards now than when we started out, and people now realise that beards are totally boss. We’ll now be moving on to Phase Two of our pro-beard operation, but not before we go around one last time and say a heartfelt thankyou to everyone who's come out to see us over the years, and especially to everyone who's grown a beard, or adopted a pro-beard attitude.”
The band, who famously only perform songs about one topic only (BEARDS), will be taking their tour all over the country, with even more dates to be announced.
The Beards Farewell Tour will give fans of the band in every state and territory one last dose of pro-beard activist rock before the four-piece hangs up its touring hat indefinitely.
It’s a sad, sad day for beard-rock. Make sure you catch them while you can. Tickets HERE
