Today (June 20), the trio of singer, songwriter and guitarist Georgia Maq, bassist Kelly-Dawn Hellmrich, and drummer and band manager Sarah ‘Thomo’ Thompson took to social media to announced their final show, which is set to take place on October 13.

The announcement comes months after Camp Cope confirmed their disbandment in February, announcing their final hometown show in Naarm/Melbourne in the process. Shortly after, Camp Cope announced an additional, all-ages show for the Brunswick Music Festival after the first date sold out.
While the trio did not explicitly announce why they were breaking up, drummer Sarah ‘Thomo’ Thompson said on Twitter: “Obv more to come, but for now, 4eva thanks to all the ppl who were there through the thick & thin. the music industry is a bin fire but that can be dealt with when you have the legends you all are keeping you sane. fire your manager, burn the joint down, morals over $.”
Meanwhile, singer and guitarist Georgia Maq wrote, “Everything is fine. Camp Cope are finishing but we are forever.” She added on Twitter: “I love Camp Cope and all we’ve done, we’ve done together. Thank you.”
Camp Cope released their self-titled debut album in April of 2016, followed by ‘How To Socialise And Make Friends’ in March 2018. They returned with their third album, ‘Running With The Hurricane’, last March – it was supported by singles like ‘Blue’, ‘Jealous’ and the title track, and in addition to a four-star review, was declared by NME to be the sixth best Australian album of 2022.
