A popular North Carolina band is hanging up its instruments for the time being.

Mipso, a four-piece indie-folk outfit that got its start in Chapel Hill, announced its “indefinite hiatus” in an Instagram post on Wednesday. It also released the dates and venues for its “Farewell For Now” tour, which will last from the end of August 2025 to the beginning of October. Mipso’s two final concerts, an acoustic show and a regular show, will be held at Cat’s Cradle on October 8th and 9th respectively.

“After 13 years and 1,200 shows, we’re taking an indefinite break,” the post read. “We’d love to see y’all in the fall to celebrate 13 beautiful years in the Mipso van and so many people and venues around the country that we love so much.”

While the post didn’t get into specifics, it did list multiple reasons why the band decided now was the time to wrap things up.

“We still like each other and our songs,” the post continued. “After a decade on the road, this is a minor miracle. But for a bunch of reasons (both personal and private ones and big picture music industry stuff) we’ve found ourselves risking burnout and more excited about other things.”

Mipso got its start in 2012 as an outlet for its members to play together during their free time as students at UNC. It consists of guitarist Joseph Terrell, fiddle player Libby Rodenbough, mandolinist Jacob Sharp and bassist Wood Robinson. Its genre has been described as a mixture of folk, rock, country, and indie-Americana.
