In March 2010, there were rumours that Refused would be reuniting after a 12 years hiatus, although Lyxzén dismissed the notion as he and Sandström were busy with the band AC4 . However, Refused unexpectedly reunited in 2012 for the Refused Reunion Tour , including appearances at Coachella , the Way Out West Festival , the Fun Fun Fun Fest , and Groezrock in Meerhout , Belgium. While the reunion was intended to be temporary, in 2015 the band released a fourth studio album, Freedom , via Epitaph Records . Speaking on the band’s future in 2017, Lyxzén said, “We’re not breaking up or anything, we’re taking a break to write a new record… But the Australian tour will be the last tour for a while… We’ll take some time off, and then we’ll start writing some songs but we’re not breaking up, no.”
