Sundara Karma will play their final UK headline shows this winter.
The Reading band formed in 2011, a bunch of high school friends who lived the dream. 2017 debut album ‘Youth Is Only Ever Fun In Retrospect’ won critical acclaim, their zesty indie pop mixture sparking some killer singles.
Two studio albums followed, but it seems that the four-piece have decided to call time on this chapter in their lives.
Sharing a full statement with fans, Sundara Karma have outlined plans for a quartet of headline shows – their last as a band.
Opening in Glasgow on December 1st, Sundara Karma then play Liverpool, Manchester, and finish up at O2 Forum Kentish Town on December 8th.
Tickets for Sundara Karma’s farewell UK headline tour are on-sale from 10am on Friday 27th September. Fans signed-up to the band’s official mailing list will receive access to a special Artist Pre-Sale from 10am on Thursday 26th September.

This has been one of the hardest decisions we’ve ever had to make, but after years of sharing our music with you all, we’ve decided it’s time to close the most significant chapter of our lives so far. We’ve been a band for over twelve years and we’ve experienced things we could never have imagined. This journey has been nothing short of incredible!
As we’ve grown, so have our hopes and dreams, and we’re ready to explore new things. It’s not goodbye to music—it’s just time for us to step away from making music as Sundara Karma.
One thing that remains constant as we enter this new chapter is our friendship. We are, and always will be, the best of friends. The bond we’ve built over these years since starting the band as kids at school has only grown stronger, and that’s something we treasure as much as the music we’ve made together.
To every fan who came to our shows, listened to our music, or supported us in any way—thank you. You’ve been with us through it all, and we’ll forever be grateful for the love, energy, and time you’ve shared with us. It may sound trite to say, but we truly couldn’t have done this without you. You’ve made this experience unforgettable.
Loving you always & forever,
Oscar, Haydn, Ally, Dom
