Gang of Four will have Ted Leo on guitar and Gail Greenwood on bass for farewell tour

Post-punk icons Gang of Four will be heading out on their Long Goodbye tour starting April 20 in Boston, which will be their final trek before calling it quits as a group. They’ve just announced that the lineup of the band will be original members Jon King and Hugo Burnham, with Ted Leo on guitar and Gail Greenwood (Belly, L7) on bass. That’s pretty cool!

Here’s what Gang of Four have to say:

Gail’s a fantastic bass player who first played with us in 2024, the rhythm anchor of L7 and Belly. Once described as “The Providence Punk Rocker” and an awesome presence on stage.

We’re thrilled to announce Ted joining us. He’s had a stellar career spanning ’80s hardcore bands like Citizens Arrest and Chisel, fronting his own band Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, and collaborations with Aimee Mann. He’ll bring his own guitar magic to the shows, built on a deep love of the classic Gang of Four material. It’s going to be amazing.

David Pajo’s now pursuing his own projects, and says his time in the band was, “a dream come true”. We wish him the best.

The tour will feature two sets: Entertainment in full, and then a second set of songs from their rest of their ’80s era. The tour hits NYC at Sony Hall on April 24. All dates are listed below.

David Pajo also revealed on Instagram that he’s been having some health issues, writing, “STILL TURTLE-PACE WALKING WITH A CANE… THIS LEG STUFF ALSO HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER JAN 7, THE FIRST NIGHT OF FIRES—COULD BARELY WALK. I DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT AT ALL! SO I’M GOING TO GET THE PROFESSIONALS IN. ESPECIALLY FOR POSSIBLE PULMONARY ISSUES. I’M SO LOVED-UP YOU GUYS. THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERN. THAT’S ALL, CARRY ON!”

Feel better, David!
