Black Midi Is ‘Indefinitely Over,’ Says Band Frontman

Black Midi is one of the most promising bands emerging from the UK. However, fans of the “Chondromalacia Patella” musicians might need to find a new act to follow soon.

In Reddit posts shared by Stereogum, the band’s frontman and lead guitarist, Geordie Greep, seemingly confirmed that the group has formally split up.

During an Instagram livestream, Greep appeared to leave a comment announcing the news to viewers. “Black Midi was an interesting band that’s indefinitely over,” he wrote.

The announcement might have come as a surprise to Greep’s fellow bandmates. Redditors captured a screenshot of a since-deleted tweet from bassist Cameron Picton. “We’d agreed to not say anything about ‘breaking up,’” he wrote. “So, I was as blindsided as everyone else last night, but maybe in a different way. I guess sometimes all you can say is LOL.”

Despite the unexpected announcement, Picton didn’t seem too heartbroken. “Anyway,” he wrote, “starting sessions for my own record soon, looking forward – should be good, hopefully great!”

In 2023, Black Midi toured across Latin America for a limited run. The promotional poster for that tour remains the last post shared on its official Instagram page. Now, in the comments section of that upload, fans are pleading with the band to reunite.
