The band’s vocalist Dennis Lyxzén commented briefly on social media in a post made after the set:
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.
While Refused are once again dead, an upcoming documentary shot during their farewell tour is currently being crowdfunded. Meanwhile, in addition top playing in Backengrillen, now ex-members of Refused also plan to continue playing together in a new project.
