Juno Award-winning rock band Alexisonfire will play their last-ever show as a group on December 30 at Copps Coliseum.

Early last year, the five-piece band, which includes Dallas Green, George Pettit, Wade MacNeil, Chris Steele and Jordan Hastings, announced they would call it a day on their decade-long collaboration, which has seen them win two MMVA awards and a 2005 Juno for best new group.

Their Farewell Tour, which kicks off this December, will see the quintet touch down on four continents in 24 days, including shows in London, England and Sao Paolo, Brazil.

Their December 30 show at Copps Coliseum, will be their final gig.

"We were tossing out a bunch of ideas and places and Copps was on the list. Obviously my vote was for Hamilton," said George Pettit, the band's frontman, who calls Hamilton home and has done for the past eight years.

"I moved to Hamilton fresh out of my parents' place," he said. "I have a real affinity for it. It's kind of an underdog city."

While plans for the final show are still being worked out between the band—"we've sent emails back and forth," said Pettit—the singer is hoping to make a charitable donation part of the event.

"I'm interested in setting up a food drive where people bring an item [to the show]."

However the last show takes shape—Pettit says they're considering adding a bunch of bands to the lineup--it's going to be "rich with emotion." "I'm excited to see those guys. Ten years is a long time to spend with people. The show is going to be very fun and kind of sad," said Pettit.

Tickets for the Hamilton show go on sale Friday [ September 21] at 10am.
