Palm Declares Split; Farewell Shows Announced
Philadelphia-based group Palm made an announcement on June 13, revealing their decision to break up. Before parting ways, the band plans to treat fans to a series of live performances throughout the summer. Their final shows will include headlining appearances in Brooklyn and Philadelphia, concluding their journey at the Newsound Music Festival in Chicago. Additionally, they will be participating in one of the festival’s recently announced after shows.
