KROKUS ANNOUNCE FAREWELL TOUR

Swiss rockers Krokus are to finish their career at the end of 2019.

The band, who began in 1975, will go on one last world tour, before their long stick goes boom for the final time at the end of next year.

Talking about this, the band have said: “Krokus shows have always been special and should stay that way. That’s why we decided to stop when it’s still really good. That’s how the fans should remember us.

“Unlike other bands that are on their eternal ‘farewell tour,’ we will keep our word and pull the plug at the end of 2019, handing over the ‘Rock Magic Wand’ to the youngsters.”

Bassist Chris von Rohr added:  “It was an unparalleled journey with all the ups and downs rock life has to offer. Now we are looking forward to the final lap of honor and will give it our all once more. We owe that to ourselves and our fans. The 7th of December, 2019 will be unforgettable as it was on the 27th of March 1982. ”
