In a heartfelt statement, the band shared the difficulty of their decision, writing: “This has been one of the hardest decisions we’ve ever had to make, but after years of sharing our music with you all, we’ve decided it’s time to close the most significant chapter of our lives so far.
“We’ve been a band for over twelve years and we’ve experienced things we could never have imagined. This journey has been nothing short of incredible!”
The four-piece, formed by childhood friends Oscar, Haydn, Ally, and Dom, went on to express gratitude to their supporters and reflected on the bond they’ve developed.
They added, “One thing that remains constant as we enter this new chapter is our friendship. We are, and always will be, the best of friends.
“The bond we’ve built over these years since starting the band as kids at school has only grown stronger, and that’s something we treasure as much as the music we’ve made together.”
While the band are stepping away as Sundara Karma, they assured fans that this is not a complete goodbye to music.
They concluded: “As we’ve grown, so have our hopes and dreams, and we’re ready to explore new things. It’s not goodbye to music—it’s just time for us to step away from making music as Sundara Karma.”
The farewell tour will kick off on December 1st at the O2 Academy in Glasgow, followed by performances on December 3rd at the O2 Academy in Liverpool and December 4th at the O2 Ritz in Manchester.
Their concerts will conclude with a final show on December 8th at the O2 Forum Kentish Town in London.
Special guests Overpass will support the band in Glasgow, Liverpool, and London.
Tickets will go on general sale from 10 am on Friday, September 27th.
Fans who have signed up for the band’s official mailing list will have access to a special Artist Pre-Sale from 10 am on Thursday, September 26th.
