The Virgins Break Up, Cancel European Tour

„There’s nothing I’d hoped to do with The Virgins that we haven’t done. It’s been an incredible experience and I want to thank everyone who was a part of it, but now it’s time to move on. I’ll see you in my dreams.“ – Donald

The Virgins planned 2014 Europe tour is cancelled. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.

The Virgins released their sophomore album Strike Gently in March 2013. Over the last several months they have been supporting it with tours across the U.S. and internationally. The band recently played their biggest shows to date while supporting The Killers on their last two American tours. The support slot culminated in what would be The Virgins last hometown performance, a sold out show at Madison Square Garden. In August the band performed for the second time on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Strike Gently was first release on the new label, Cult Records. Cult Records founder Julian Casablancas notes, “When I first saw the Virgins I was psyched there was such a rad new band from NYC. Donald’s such an awesome guy and it’s great to meet someone who’s such a true artist. I think they’ve made a classic record and we’re really excited they chose to work with us.”
