The Summer Set Announces an Indefinite Hiatus: 'A Decision Has Been Made'

Terrible news, The Summer Set fans: the band has officially broken up.

In a lengthy note posted to Twitter today (October 17), the band explains their decision and thanks fans for their support over the years.

“We know that many of you have been wondering what has been going on with The Summer Set for some time now,” they write. “We sincerely appreciate the concern, and thank you for your patience while we have taken the time to figure that out ourselves.”

“When we first started this band, our goals were simple: to make music, buy a fifteen-passenger van, and play shows everywhere we possibly could. Over the years, we were fortunate enough to watch it grow. Shows got bigger, fans turned into friends, and together, we built something that we never could have imagined. For that, we are truly grateful.”

They then reveal that Brian Dales will be pursuing a solo career.

“Over the last year, Brian has decided to leave the band in order to pursue his own aspirations. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.”

Even though the band is taking an indefinite hiatus, they are so grateful for the journey.

“Thank you for making our dreams come true.”
