Despised Icon STILL aren't broken up yet? What's the hold up guys? All kidding aside, the band is set to play their final shows ever in various Canadian cities next week, taking bands like Ion Dissonance, The Acacia Strain, Oceano, Beneath The Massacre, and ABACABB along for the ride. Now, the band has added another treat. The original lineup of the group will be performing material from the band's first two records on the tour. Pretty exciting. Here is the message from the group, along with the itinerary:
“It’s been a while already since we made THE announcement and I know some of you are probably saying, ‘WTF, these guys still aren’t done yet?!’ Hahah Well, instead of canceling the tours we had in the works at the time, we figured it’d be a good opportunity to play in our favorite cities, tour in a few countries we had never visited before and rock out with you guys for the last time. After touring in 24 countries in the last six months, we’re finally back home and getting ready to play our last Quebec and Ontario shows next week. This final world tour was simply amazing and since this is the last time we check in with you guys, I just want to sincerely thank you all once again for all your help and support. We’ve had some good fucking times together!
For those who were planning on coming to our final Montreal shows, we have a few surprises for you. The original Despised Icon lineup (2002-2006) will make its appearance and play a few songs from the first two albums! We’re also happy to announce that our brothers in Ion Dissonance and Beneath The Massacre will be supporting their new records for the first time at home and ABACABB will also be playing one of their last shows ever with us. Our homies in The Acacia Strain, Oceano and Mychildren Mybride will also be part of the event. It’s gonna be epic. Bandeapart.ca will film and host the entire last set on their website for free so make sure you demonstrate how we do things in MTL!”
