Refused ... Are Fucking Dead: The hardcore legends are going on farewell tour. After six years of silence, Refused wakes up from their slumber. They have shaped political hardcore like few other bands, not least through their epochal masterpiece "The Shape of Punk to Come." Emerging from the Swedish hardcore scene, Refused broke with conventional genre norms with their third LP release in 1998, securing their place in the music world. Since their founding in 1992 in Umeå, Dennis Lyxzén, David Sandström, and their changing collaborators have embodied musical radicalism and visionary independence. Refused was never just a band but a statement. After a turbulent band history, including a breakup and later reunion in 2012, their influence stretches far beyond hardcore, with bands like Idles citing them as pioneers. Refused Are Fucking Dead represents their upcoming farewell tour and the last German shows: Over five dates, they will roll over the audience with 30 years of band history like an avalanche. Refused stands for unrestrained energy and lyrics that touch the soul - no hardcore fan should miss this - bring it in!
