"Legendary hardcore band Refused played their final show ever in their hometown of Umeå, Sweden, on Sunday, wrapping up their farewell tour. The band played a 21-song set at the venue Väven, including eight tunes from their iconic 1998 album The Shape of Punk to Come. Frontman Dennis Lyxzén and company closed out the show with their signature song, "New Noise.""
"Lyxzén took to social media after the show, writing, "The weekend is over and it's been overwhelming to say the least. I need a couple of days to process everything and I will post more on the matter. But for now: thanks to everyone that came to the shows, or watch the live stream or just made all of this possible. I love you all. Refused is dead. Long live Refused.""
