The Alexisonfire Farewell Tour was a concert tour by Canadian post-hardcore band Alexisonfire, taking place in December 2012. After their tour in 2010, band member Dallas Green expressed his desire to leave the band. The band officially announced their break-up in August 2011 and also announced plans of doing one last farewell tour before officially disbanding. The farewell tour was officially announced on August 9, 2012, when the band revealed the tour dates to take place in December 2012.[1]

Alexisonfire concert chronology

The band commented that the tour was short due to December being the only available time window for all five members when they were free from any other commitments, especially Dallas Green who was touring with City and Colour and Wade MacNeil who was touring with Gallows.

On August 17, 2012, after the tickets for the London date were sold out in just 5 minutes, the band announced that they added another London date at the same venue, a day before, on December 2, 2012.[2]
