Gang of Four: The Long Goodbye Tour Kickoff at The Westport Library

It's the 45th anniversary of the release of‘ Entertainment! ‘in the US, and 2025 will be our final year as a band. It’s been wonderful, but all things must end. We want to go out with a bang and celebrate with our fans and friends. So, on what will be our last US tour, we’ll play two sets at each show: ‘Entertainment!” from start to finish in the first, and the best of the rest in the second. Come and join in, it’ll be a blast!

Doors open at 6:30 (No bags allowed)

6:30: Get ready for The Long Goodbye with a blistering set by Journeys by DJ!

8:00: Gang of Four LIVE!

GANG OF FOUR "THE LONG GOODBYE” 2025 TOUR LINEUP

Hugo Burnham - drums

Jon King - vocals

Gail Greenwood - bass

Ted Leo - guitar

Gail’s a fantastic bass player who first played with us in 2024, the rhythm anchor of L7 and Belly. Once described as “The Providence Punk Rocker” and an awesome presence on stage.

We’re thrilled to announce Ted joining us. He’s had a stellar career spanning '80s hardcore bands like Citizens Arrest and Chisel, fronting his own band Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, and collaborations with Aimee Mann. He’ll bring his own guitar magic to the shows, built on a deep love of the classic Gang of Four material. It’s going to be amazing.

David Pajo’s now pursuing his own projects, and says his time in the band was, “a dream come true”. We wish him the best.

“The Long Goodbye” tour will feature two sets: we’ll play all of Entertainment! track by track, and a second set of “Best of the Rest”, favorites to ranging from To Hell With Poverty! to I Love a Man in a Uniform. These will be unforgettable nights.

Many of the dates have sold out, and others are close to it. We can’t wait to get on the road for the very last time and hope to see you there.

Tim “Journeys by DJ” Fielding

A graduate of the Balearic school of DJing, Tim “Journeys by DJ” Fielding is one of the key figures behind two of London’s most storied clubs: The Brain and The End. The founder of Brainiak Records (which released the world’s first album of live electronica bands, “Live at the Brain”) and of seminal imprint “Journeys by DJ” (the first legit series of DJ-mix CDs), Tim produced legendary works by DJs including John Digweed, Paul Oakenfold, Farley & Heller, Coldcut and Gilles Peterson, reflecting his own eclectic taste and broad range in music. In 2000 he left London for New York City, where he spins regularly at clubs and events produced by subcultural communities like Disorient, Kostume Kult and Mirage Garage. Transitioning from Nu Disco into soulful Tech House, Tim’s style goes down equally well with 90’s Progressive House cats, fans of 70s Funk, and Burners into their bumpin’ beats. A self-described ‘fat female gospel singer trapped in a skinny white man’s body’, he plays rootsy music for people that like to dance. Not just standing there nodding, but really shaking that ass. “I tend to play the smaller rooms,” he says, “But they are usually packed with smiling faces, and people who are seriously getting down.”
