The Beards are calling it quits and they’ve announced a massive 35 date farewell tour to say goodbye

It’s a sad day for bearded folk around the world. The most successful beard-focused band to grace the world stage, your mates The Beards, have announced they will be calling it quits.

The band posted on their Facebook this morning:

“BIG NEWS GUYS! As of next year, we will no longer be active as a touring band. We are hanging up the touring boots and focusing our time and energy on “Phase Two” of our pro-beard operation, but not before we do a massive farewell tour of Australia & New Zealand in 2016 to say thank you to everyone who’s come out to see us over the years.”

Although it is at the moment unclear what “Phase Two” entails, we can only assume it will be something of beauty.

Fans of the band will be treated to a 35-date tour to say farewell, set taking place between January and July. The tour will be split into two distinct parts, one being a stripped back acoustic show, the second will be their usual live rock ‘n’ roll show in all its beardy glory.
