To mark 36 years of making memories, the band has announced Loud Forever - The Final Tour. They'll perform a circuit of summer festivals, including Rock The Bowl in Taranaki, Kickdown in Coromandel, and Homegrown in Wellington. Additional headline shows are scheduled at the Rhythm and Alps site in Wānaka, Black Barn in Hawke's Bay, Trafalgar in Nelson, the Red Zone in Christchurch, and at Auckland's Spark Arena.

Since forming in Wellington in 1988 as high school students with a shared love for American speed metal, Shihad (Jon Toogood, Karl Kippenberger, Phil Knight, Tom Larkin), has sold over a quarter of a million records, released 10 studio albums, and toured the world’s clubs, festivals, and arenas. In 2010 they were inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame, firmly establishing themselves as New Zealand’s biggest rock band.
