It more than likely means there last show of the year but Travis from We The Kings posted on Twitter:

“We The Kings will be playing our last show on December 28th, 2009. Thanks to everyone who has supported us! We love you”

If you’re interested in the post below.

E-Mail Sean @ sean@alterthepress.com, preferably with an example of your writing BUT please don’t send attached file.
