BROCKHAMPTON, the hip hop group founded in 2010 consisting of Kevin Abstract, Matt Champion, William “Merlyn” Wood Jr., and Dom McLennon, recently revealed that they will be dismantling following their two upcoming shows for 2022.
“Brockhampton’s upcoming performances at the O2 Academy Brixton in London and at Coachella will be their final as a group,” the group shared in a statement. “All other forthcoming tour dates are canceled, effective immediately. Refunds for all tickets and VIP packages will be available at the point of purchase. Following these remaining shows, BROCKHAMPTON will take an indefinite hiatus as a group. They invite their fans to come celebrate the end of an era with them at these final performances.”
“Brockhampton fans, I love you. You gave me everything,” Abstract, the head of the group, tweeted.
In addition to the four main members, vocalists/producers Russell “Joba” Borning, Ciarán “Bearface” McDonald and Jabari Manwa; producers Romil Hemnani and Kiko Merley; graphic designer Henock “HK” Sileshi; photographer Ashlan Grey; web designer Robert “Roberto” Ontenient; and manager Jon Nunes are also considered part of the group. Another vocalist, Ameer Vann, was removed from the band in 2018 following sexual misconduct accusations.
Over nearly a decade, BROCKHAMPTON released six albums: the Saturation trilogy in 2017, 2018’s Iridescence, 2019’s Ginger, and 2021’s Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine.
