No less than four decades have passed since the influential Front 242 saw the light of day in 1981. In the meantime, they injected the music world with a brand new genre: Electronic Body Music (or: EBM). The likes of U-Men, No Shuffle, Headhunter V1.0, Funkhadafi and Tragedy >For You< became true classics.

Their résumé still looks impressive to this day. Record a video clip with Anton Corbijn? Check! Perform at the first ever edition of Pukkelpop, America’s Lollapalooza or the influential Primavera Sound? Check! Tour with Depeche Mode during their Music For The Masses tour? Front 242 could check that off their list too.

Their farewell tour takes them from Las Vegas to Mexico City to Germany and back to the US to then finally visit The Netherlands, London and France. For the final farewell, the gents from Front 242 chose AB. What an unforgettable farewell together!
