The LaFontaines

 Scotland’s iconic The LaFontaines have announced today (Monday 2nd December), they are calling time on their 17 year career with two nal gigs in London at The Garage on 9th April and in Glasgow at SWG3 on 17th April.

Their live shows are their superpower – a guaranteed good time which has seen the band connect with their audience on a level that most live acts never achieve. There is no one like The LaFontaines. Fiercely Unique, Bold and Scottish. Said The LaFontaines, “After 17 incredible years as a band, four albums deep, and countless unforgettable gigs, we've made the very difcult decision to call it a day”. “It's been less than easy— this band has been everything to us. It let us create something unique and took us far beyond the bounds of North Lanarkshire, but mostly it brought us more happiness than should be allowed in a lifetime”. “The most important people to thank are the fans. The folk who showed up to the shows, who listened to the albums, bought the merch, and joined us along the way. You don't last this long as a band without that. However, it wouldn't be like us to leave before last orders, so let's have one last shindig”. “The nal gigs are in London and Glasgow. Tickets
