Guy: Well I guess I won't be seeing the fareware tour. I'm not getting the shot or take a test. I'll pass

Greg: [Guy], regardless of your ideological views regarding the pandemic and vaccines (which I'm not trying to engage in this format), these measures are in place to ensure the tour can go on. It's a lot of shows and we'd love to be able to get through them so we can properly say goodbye to you all and also transition into the next chapter of our lives. You're obviously free to do as you will, but that's a little insight into why these measures are in place and why we support them. Peace to you.

 

lol clown

 

so I went in on him studs up

 

Love to see it

 

Yeah would be very mad if you got kicked for that

 

so you'll never guess what happened

 

Semi random topic my wife and I were just discussing: given that it's the final tour, would you prefer the band just stick to one solid, S-tier set for the whole tour, or keep doing a completely different one each night?

 

Always a fan of deep cuts, so i think the set should vary.

 

I think they should close with "Fig With A Bellyache" and walk off stage.

And then play a killer 3-song encore.

 

For me the dream is all circles as their last & final note but I’m sure that’s controversial amongst deep fans

 

I'm cool with All Hands or In Sweater.

 

Are they really 100% never going to play a show again after this? That's hard for my brain to compute. Sad not to say goodbye with UK shows. Special band, great people. Will never forget seeing them at a venue in Kingston, it being the hottest I've ever been at a gig so Aaron ended the set early and played a load of songs acoustic out on the pavement on a beautiful summer's evening.

 

I feel like with the way these reunion festivals are going, I'll never trust a band that says they'll never play a show again unless it becomes physically impossible.

 

There was a podcast that came out a couple years back where Aaron either alluded to or outright said that he wasn’t necessarily comfortable with this bein called a “farewell” or “breakup” because he couldn’t predict what the future held.

I also wonder if any of them are going to start any new projects together or individually. I know Greg has Geology, and Brandon might have his hands in stuff too. Ricky had the electronic project.

 

It's gotta be clear from the quotation marks that it's open ended. They are a self aware enough bunch to know they could show back up at some point in the future, but are just not promising it.

 

Hope they make a bunch of money off this tour and can be comfortable as they transition to whatever comes next.

 

the limits of which will only get higher with time. Gimme a mwY VR experience in 2033

 

so I got banned from the group lmfao

 

Tigers Jaw got announced for the May dates. Can’t wait to find out who will be support for the rest of the tour!

 

yeah I'm bummed Tigers Jaw aren't on the June dates. Here's to hoping!

 

Rest of the openers have been announced:
May - Tigers Jaw
June - '68
July & August - WHY? (Yoni and Josiah duo)
End of the End - ?????

They haven't suggested there will be an opener for the final two dates like they previously did for the others so I'm guessing there won't be one. On instagram, the band liked two comments that asked if the final shows will have an opener. Maybe it'll be two mega shows with two mwY sets?

edit- never mind, they emailed today and said openers to be announced

 

What do y’all think the last song they play will be? Sweater?

 

I hope they stream the last shows. Would be pretty bummed to miss them.

 

Mannnn I really want to go to one of those WHY? dates.

 

My date is next week already... I'm not ready for it to end.
