Refused concert chronology

The Reunion Tour is a concert tour by Swedish post-hardcore band Refused, celebrating the band's reunion, after breaking-up in 1998. The tour began with a secret warm-up shows in the band's hometown of Umeå on February 29, 2012, as well as another small show in Stockholm, on March 30, after which the band headed to start the official tour, in the United States.

The tour was not intended to be a full reunion and the band announced their show at the Exel Arena in Umeå, Sweden on 15 December would be their final show for three years.

Background

BBC Radio 1's "Punk Show" announced on January 2, 2012, that Refused would be reuniting this year for a series of show. This was confirmed on frontman Dennis Lyxzén's Facebook page on January 9, 2012, as well as announcing the band's first reunion show, at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Later, some European festival appearances were announced, such as Way Out West Festival in Sweden, and Groezrock in Belgium. The band was set to perform at the Sonisphere Festival, being their only exclusive UK appearance on the tour, though after the festival was cancelled, the band was instead booked to appear on the Download Festival.

Final shows

The band announced five final shows, one in Norway and four in Sweden; with the band's final show taking place in their hometown of Umeå, Sweden.[1]

Following the band's show at the Exel Arena in Umeå on December 15, the band played four songs at an afterparty show the same night with the bands Final Exit and Abhinanda playing reunion shows.[2]

Return

On November 25, 2014, Refused announced that they will perform their first shows in three years at the Reading and Leeds Festivals, Groezrock and Amnesia Rockfest in the summer of 2015.[3][4] They also headlined Punk Rock Bowling in Las Vegas in May 2015.[5] The concerts were accompanied by the release of a new album called Freedom.
