Killer Swing, a prominent Navarrese band, has announced its dissolution, signaling an end to a career that spanned more than two decades. The farewell will be marked by a final concert tour that doubles as a retrospective of their work and an homage to their fans. The tour, titled pain low, will kick off on September 15 at Kate Antzokia in Bilbao and culminate on December 29 at the Zentral in Pamplona, offering a last chance to witness the group live on stage.
In a concise, heartfelt statement, the band explained that every journey reaches its destination and theirs has reached that point. The members stated that endings are a natural part of life, and they chose to close this chapter in a way that feels right to them. The message conveyed a sense of gratitude for more than twenty years of music and shared experiences, while inviting fans to join them for a proper send-off.
The farewell shows are designed as a comprehensive survey of Killer Swing’s discography, beginning with their self-titled 2003 release, El columpio asesino, and continuing through subsequent works that helped shape the landscape of Spanish alternative music. The setlist will spotlight enduring favorites such as material from the 2020 release as well as the band’s widely acclaimed pieces like Bull, among others, celebrating the milestones that defined their sound and influence over the years.
As part of the farewell, the group emphasized that endings can be graceful or abrupt, and they chose a farewell tour that travels to the cities that nurtured their growth and fan base. They urged attendees to gather in intimate venues and share one last night of music and memory, describing the experience as a night that glows with energy and the warmth of night-time devotion. The statement also hinted at additional dates being added to the itinerary over the coming weeks, increasing opportunities for fans to participate in this final chapter.
The tour itinerary will see performances across several Spanish cities, beginning with Bilbao and Saint Sebastian on September 16, continuing through Valencia on October 6, Alicante on October 7, and extending into Malaga on October 20. Other October stops include Paris on October 15, and Mamba in Murcia on October 21, followed by Oasis in Zaragoza on October 27 and Razzmatazz in Barcelona on October 28. The band will press forward into November with shows at Santander Stage on November 10, Jimmy Jazz in Vitoria on November 11, CajaGranada Theatre in Granada on November 17, and a special performance in Seville on November 18.
