Anberlin To Disband: Announce Tour and Final Album

Surprising news from Anberlin today; they’ve announced that 2014 will be their last year as a band. This news comes a week after they announced that they would be taking part in Warped Tour this year. In a video posted on their website, they just felt it was time to move on. They said:

We don’t want to fade out. We want to end with hugs and celebrate the life that was Anberlin, and not be bummed about us ending; we’ve been around forever.

So we’re asking you to join us as friends, as fans, as family, to join us for one last year — 2014. We want to make one more record and we wanna tour just a few more times. We want to make sure we see every single person that has ever given anything to this band, whether that’s singing along, or buying a t-shirt, or naming a kid after us. Whatever it is, we want to give each of those fans –the people that gave us the most– we want to give them one more show.

The whole video can be seen below, and Warped Tour dates can be found here. No word yet on a release date for their final album.
