Japandroids finally wrap up their 230-show ‘Celebration Rock’ tour — which began in March 2012

Japandroids are finally getting out of the van. And off the plane. And the train. And whatever else they’ve used as transport to circle the globe a few times over the last 20 months. The Vancouver duo’s 230-date Celebration Rock tour has finally come to an end, capping off a 40-plus country run in November 10 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Guitarist/vocalist Brian King took to Facebook tonight to thank the fans and post his band’s tour itinerary — which began March 8, 2012, in São Paulo, Brazil. Celebration Rock was released June 5, 2012 on Polyvinyl.

It’s been nine days since the ‘Droids tour ended, and we assume King and drummer/vocalist David Prowse have been asleep for the past week. And King is probably going right back to bed.

Check out King’s thank you, as well as the full 230-date trek below. Boston dates are in bold, and watch the video for “House That Heaven Built” until the very end for some true Allston Rock City action.

hey gang // brian here // after 200-and-something shows in 40-something countries, the Celebration Rock Tour is officially over! // thanks to everyone who came out to the shows and drank, smoked, sweat, bled, puked, fucked, fought, danced, dove, yelled, screamed, sang, and most importantly rocked with us these last two years // we will forever be in all of your debt for allowing us to do what we do // time for us to disappear into the ether for a while…y’all stay crazy/forever // x
