phantomplanet NEWS: Phantom Planet Announces Breakup

Phantom Planet has announced that they will be playing their last show ever December 12th at the Troubadour in Los Angeles. The group performed this first live all ages show in the same place in 1994.

In their 15 years together the group released four albums: Raise The Dead, The Guest, Phantom Planet is Missing, and Phantom Planet.

Read the full statement from their website after the break:

This could be the most difficult piece of news we have ever had to post. Sadly, Phantom Planet will be playing our last show, December 12, at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, the same venue that we played our very first live all ages gig, back in 1994. We have had an amazing time playing together for 15 years, but we have officially decided to go on hiatus, and will not be playing any more live shows or making any new records, indefinitely. There is so much more to write, but at this time, we just want to say thank you, to everyone, for their support, friendship, inspiration, attendance, and love.
