Svalbard have announced their decision to call it a day in 2026. A series of farewell shows will be embarked upon ahead of the post-metallers eventually hanging it up. In a statement issued this morning, the band offered:
“After much reflection, we have decided that 2026 will be the final year of Svalbard.
Our final UK tour will be in November 2025. Following that, we plan to do a final EU tour, a final Japanese tour and a few more select farewell shows in 2026.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us during our 15 years as a band. Your support has meant the world to us.
We’ve shared so many unforgettable moments with you all throughout our career, and we look forward to commemorating our final year as a band with you in 2026.”
