THE RADIATORS ANNOUNCE BREAKUP

New Orleans’ The Radiators will break-up after a final run of shows. The seminal improvisational group will tour through June, including a New Year’s Eve show at Ardmore, PA’s The Palombaro Club, the MOMs Ball and a final appearance at The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

A note from the group reads:

After 33 years.…over 4500 live shows….and a dozen albums.…legendary New Orleans rockers The Radiators are finally calling it quits. The band has officially decided to break up in mid-June following their final tour which will include one last New Years’ Eve run, a MOMs Ball and also headlining their final appearance at The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. The band will honor all dates already on their schedule and are planning to add as many shows as possible before ending their storied 33 year career. The guys want to whole-heartedly thank their long time fans for making this ride as amazing as it has been. They truly feel that their fans are the best and most dedicated in the world and have kept their traveling circus alive. Individual band members will announce their plans in the near future.

You can catch one of their final performances at Sullivan Hall on November 17 and/or 18.
