The Maccabees have announced one last farewell gig, which is scheduled to take place in London on 16 June. See ticket details and full tour dates below.
The band announced their split back in August last year, before unveiling a string of farewell shows taking place next month. Now, they've added a final date to the tour, with a show due to take place at London's Omeara - a venue owned by their mates Mumford & Sons.
All profits from the intimate gig will go to MS Society, which helps people living with multiple sclerosis.
Support will come from Mystery Jets and Imperial Daze, who will perform special acoustic sets.
For this final chance to see Orlando and co on stage, you'll need to sign up the Yala! Records mailing list for ticket information.
Tickets £30. Mon 5th 9am. All profits to MS Society. Only available via @yalarecords mailing list - sign up!! https://t.co/gU3JAO3ZAS pic.twitter.com/Pa1Rylxor4

The date comes before the band head off to say their goodbyes to the rest of the UK - with shows scheduled for Birmingham, Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester and London throughout June and into July.
Speaking of the final shows, guitarist Felix White said: “We're planning on these final shows being a huge celebration, thank you and goodbye to 14 years of writing, recording, playing and touring together.”
The Maccabees' indie classic debut Colour It In was released in 2007, and spawned the hits 'Toothpaste Kisses' and 'Precious Time'. The band evolved into on of the UK's greatest guitar bands and released their fourth and final record Marks To Prove it in 2015, which led them to becoming headliners at last year's Latitude Festival. The Maccabees are certainly going out on top.
