Hundred Reasons have announced that their upcoming London show at the Royal Albert Hall will be their final ever headline performance as a band. Lead singer Colin Doran explains the decision: “This show was always on our bucket list so tying it in with 25 years of the band seemed like a great way to mark this milestone. But the more we planned for this show the more we started to feel that there wasn’t anything else that we wanted to do beyond this.
Hundred Reasons
We released an amazing album in 2023 and had an awesome tour finishing at the Eventim Apollo. We have seen bands run themselves into the ground and it’s not something we’ve ever felt okay with. So with this in mind we have made the decision to make the show at The Royal Albert Hall our last ever headlining show, and to leave on a high. It’s gonna be a celebration of all things HR with some deep cuts and songs being rearranged, including a live string section, which is something properly new for us to do. It’s never easy to make these decisions but then the flip side is why not just leave a good looking corpse?” Opening the night are New York post-hardcore heroes Rival Schools.
In 2023 Hundred Reasons returned with their critically-acclaimed first new album in 15 years, Glorious Sunset on So Recordings, and a flurry of live activity not seen from the band since their early days. This culminated in their biggest ever London headliner at Hammersmith Apollo. 2025 will mark 25 years since the band’s first show and in celebration of this milestone, the band will take to the Royal Albert Hall for the first time on 7th May, bringing Rival Schools along for the ride.
