It's a disappointing day for Kiwi rock fans, as Shihad are set to call it quits after their final tour.

The group, comprised of Jon Toogood, Tom Larkin, Phil Knight and Karl Kippenberger, has confirmed it will disband for good in 2025.

Jon Toogood says this announcement was two years in the making - after several discussions.

"We just thought - rather than go out with a whimper, we'll go out on a high point. That was basically the decision we came to."
