Love of Lesbian Announces Indefinite Pause After 2026 Tour

Spanish indie pop band Love of Lesbian has made a heartfelt announcement regarding an indefinite hiatus, set to commence following their 2026 concert tour. The Barcelona-based group shared this decision in a poignant video on their social media channels, where lead vocalist Santi Balmes conveyed their sentiments. 'We'll see you at the last verse. There are moments when the journey requires a pit stop to gaze at the stars from the roadside,' he shared. After 25 years of continuous performances, Balmes expressed a desire for a temporary withdrawal from the spotlight to reflect on their journey. 'We aim for the silence that will come to be as honest as the noise we've shared,' he noted, underscoring the importance of this pause. While the group has not specified when they may return, they have emphasized that this is not a final goodbye. 'We step away from the spotlight without knowing exactly when the first chord will sound again but with the certainty that this quarter-century journey has been worth every second of sleeplessness,' they stated. The upcoming concerts in 2026 will serve as a significant farewell tour, a “cross-sectional toast” to their past, present, and future. The final performances will commence in March 2026, taking the band across the Atlantic to Mexico, featuring various festivals and venues. They will also tour Spain and other parts of Europe, intending for these concerts to be a fitting conclusion to a chapter that has profoundly impacted their lives. In their latest album, 'Ejército de Salvación,' released in 2024, the band explores themes of friendship and collective experience. Balmes described this effort as a tribute to those closest to them, especially in a tumultuous world dominated by social media distractions. The album contains unique collaborations, departing from traditional listening structures to embrace a more diverse sound. Throughout their last tour, Love of Lesbian has also taken a stand on political issues, particularly criticizing the situation in Palestine, which has included readings of manifestos at multiple events. This activism reflects their commitment to using their platform not only for entertainment but also for raising awareness about real-world issues. As fans eagerly anticipate their impending concerts, Love of Lesbian's announcement marks a reflective moment in their illustrious career, leaving behind a legacy of creativity, connection, and thoughtful commentary on contemporary life.
