Explore Fugazi’s extensive concert archive, featuring nearly 1,000 shows from 1987-2002, now available on streaming platforms!

A Musical Journey from 1987 to 2022

Back in 2011, the legendary Washington, D.C. underground rock band Fugazi took a groundbreaking step by launching their professionally recorded concert archive. They made this available through their Fugazi Live Series on Dischord.com, where fans could pay what they wished for a treasure trove of nearly 1,000 full shows spanning from 1987 to 2002. This archive has become a beloved part of the band's legacy, showcasing their raw energy and unique sound.

Exciting News for Fans

As of Friday, May 2, Fugazi is set to release their very first gig from September 3, 1987, in Washington, D.C., alongside their final concert from November 2, 2022, in London, through Bandcamp. This is a significant moment for fans who have long awaited the chance to access this material on streaming platforms.

What to Expect?

According to Dischord, additional shows will be released on Bandcamp each month until the end of the year. Eventually, the concerts will be available on other yet-to-be-announced streaming services. Each concert will remain accessible via the original Fugazi Live Series page, which also features detailed show information and memorabilia scans for fans to delve deeper into the band's history.

A Look Back at Their Iconic 1987 Show

The 1987 performance is particularly noteworthy since it marked Fugazi’s first show, albeit performed as a trio without guitarist/vocalist Guy Picciotto, who had not yet joined the band. Reflecting on their last concert in 2002, Fugazi has mentioned that they were unaware it would be their final public appearance. Since then, the band hasn't played live, although they reportedly get together privately and have turned down numerous lucrative reunion offers.

"We didn’t know at the time that would be our last show," said a member of Fugazi, highlighting the band's unexpected hiatus from live performances.

What’s Next?

Fugazi continues to maintain a loyal following, and with the upcoming releases, fans are eager to relive the band's live energy.
