Goodbye and thanks for all the fish

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm on 13 November 2024

After nearly 40 years as a band, 10 studio albums, 18 Aotearoa Music Awards, and an induction into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame, Shihad are calling it a day. 

The iconic Kiwi rock band announced their split today, but thankfully fans will have one last opportunity to see them play live. 

The 'Loud Forever' tour will make eight stops, beginning at the end of December and wrapping up at Wellington's Homegrown festival in March. 

Band members Phil Knight, Tom Larkin, Karl Kippenberger and Jon Toogood join Jesse in the Auckland studio.
