BLACK OUT - A Personal Message to Our Fans

Today, we reach out to you, our fans, with a heavy yet hopeful heart to share the news of our final concerts. Now, we are preparing to bring down the curtain on our live performances as FRONT 242, we find ourselves navigating a sea of emotions.

For nearly four decades, we've journeyed together, creating unforgettable moments and sharing the profound joy of music. You've been more than an audience; you've been a part of our extended family, witnessing our evolution and sharing in our highs and lows.

The decision to step back from performing live has not been easy, but we believe it's important to end this chapter on a high note, preserving the essence of Front 242 that you've grown to love. We want to leave you with memories of our band at its peak, full of energy and passion.

So, we are extending our invitation to you: join us for one last adventure. Let's make these final shows a celebration of the incredible journey we've shared. We promise to deliver performances that capture the heart and soul of Front 242, a fitting farewell to a story we've written together.

On this day in music history 1 December, 1981 - Vince Clarke left Depeche Mode.

Yazoo formed in late 1981 after Vince Clarke responded to an advertisement Moyet placed in a British music magazine.

Over the next 18 months the duo released two albums, Upstairs at Eric's and You and Me Both, which received critical acclaim for their production, particularly the blending of Clarke's synthesizer melodies with Moyet's blues- and soul-influenced vocals.

Despite their success, the duo split acrimoniously in May 1983 as a result of a combination of Clarke's reluctance to make more records under the Yazoo name, a clash of personalities, and a lack of communication between the pair.

In 2008, 25 years after splitting, Clarke and Moyet reconciled and reformed Yazoo to play a successful tour of the UK, Europe and North America in support of the reissue of Yazoo's two studio albums and a box set of their material titled In Your Room. The pair briefly reunited in May 2011 to play three Yazoo songs at a music festival organised by their record label.
