Following the release of their dark cover of Backstreet Boys‘ “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back),” Blind Channel announced in a statement on October 7 that they will be taking a hiatus.
They share, “During the last four years we have experienced more than we could’ve ever dreamed of. After two full-length studio albums and 300 shows all over the world it’s time to blow the candle before it burns from both ends. We’ve decided to go on a break after the end of 2024, not sure for how long, but it’s time to take a step back from the spotlight to ponder what the future holds.”
The statement continues, “Thankfully the madness of the past few years has been thoroughly and carefully documented: After Dark Side – documentary comes out in December. It’s a brutally honest overview to the band’s wildest years, the everyday life of the band members, the ups and downs – all of it. Before the break you can see us live on our two-week tour in the UK and of course on our exceptionally rare club tour across Finland in November/December. Our humblest gratitude goes to our fans for all your support over the years. What a journey it’s been.”

Even though the band is taking a pause, rest assured that there are a few more tour dates remaining throughout the UK, Finland, and more. Check out their remaining dates here.
