Nikko Wenner Says Oxbow Broke Up Due To An Allegation Against Him

It appears Oxbow have officially called it quits. According to guitarist Niko Wenner, the band fell apart due to a recent allegation against him.

Wenner said the following:

“Niko Wenner, Oxbow update.

An accusation was leveled at me, Niko, during our 2024 European tour. It’s probably inappropriate for me to give details since the allegation is still unresolved. The alleged incident, said to have occurred in a crowd, involved only myself and the person making the accusation. None of the others in Oxbow were there.

The accusation led to the cancellation of the last 4 shows of our tour, all in France. I have always greatly enjoyed playing in France and I apologize to anyone who had intentions of seeing us there.

Eugene Robinson has at least for now left the band, as he has already made public in his latest substack article.

As it stands now Oxbow as a band no longer exists. Whether this is a permanent state of affairs remains to be seen.

Niko“
