After one of Canada’s biggest ever years for mega tours at stadiums and festivals throughout the country, 2026 is already shaping up to be another major one. <\/p>\n
As we head into the new year, many huge tours have already announced they’re coming to the country, and that doesn’t even include tours that are still<\/a> rumoured<\/a>. From young rising upstarts like EsDeeKid and Olivia Dean to bona fide superstars like Guns N\u2019 Roses and huge reunions, like Rush, these are the biggest tours that are coming to Canada this year.<\/p>\n Guess Who is heading back on the road? The now-reunited<\/a> classic lineup of legendary Canadian rock band The Guess Who, featuring band principals Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings, is hitting the road to play shows across the country. Over the years, the dynamic duo have often performed together, as Bachman-Cummings, and played their classic Guess Who material, but not under that name, because of a long legal dispute<\/a> with other former members of the band. Another lineup of musicians calling themselves The Guess Who toured extensively through North America for several decades, until recently, which Cummings referred to as a “cover band.”<\/a> <\/p>\n January 31 \u2014 Niagara Falls, ON \u2014 OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n May 26 \u2014 Moncton, NB \u2014 Avenir Centre <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n May 27 \u2014 Halifax, NS \u2014 Scotiabank Centre <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n May 29 \u2014 Laval, QC \u2014 Place Bell <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n May 30 \u2014 Toronto, ON \u2014 Scotiabank Arena <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n June 1 \u2014 Hamilton, ON \u2014 TD Coliseum <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n June 2 \u2014 London, ON \u2014 Canada Life Place <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n June 5 \u2014 Winnipeg, MB \u2014 Canada Life Centre <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n June 6 \u2014 Saskatoon, SK \u2014 SaskTel Centre <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n June 8 \u2014 Calgary, AB \u2014 Scotiabank Saddledome <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n June 10 \u2014 Edmonton, AB \u2014 Rogers Place <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n July 18 \u2014 Ottawa, ON \u2014 Ottawa Bluesfest<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n Aug. 23 \u2014 Vancouver, BC \u2014 PNE Fair <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n Rising Canadian country singer Josh Ross has picked his home country for a coast-to-coast outing<\/u><\/a>.

The unique cold season event has developed a knack for tapping acts that bring the heat despite performing under freezing temps. While the full lineup has yet to be revealed, the festival\u2019s inaugural Western Canada edition will get attendees out of hibernation thanks to a trio of headliners that make up some of the genre\u2019s biggest players: legendary U.K. electronic duo Disclosure, Canadian electronic titan Deadmau5 and Australian music producer and DJ Alison Wonderland. They\u2019ll be paired with a strong roster of local talent to maintain the warmth at night. Renowned for transforming the coldest months of the year, the festival will now take place in four major Canadian cities \u2013 Montreal, Gatineau, Quebec City, and Edmonton.

The U.K. singer-songwriter took a step back from the industry, following 2018\u2019s No Shame,<\/em><\/em> but re-entered the cultural zeitgeist when her divorce from a high-profile movie star filled the tabloids. In the following months, Allen acted quickly, releasing her fifth studio album, West End Girl \u2014 <\/em><\/em>written and recorded over almost two weeks, detailing her marriage\u2019s breakdown with the same cheekiness and honesty of her earlier work. The LP put Allen back on the map, peaking at No. 45 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart. She\u2019s continuing to ride the momentum, as she gears up for her biggest North American headlining tour<\/u><\/a> to date. The nine-stop outing initially included one date at Toronto\u2019s Massey Hall, but a second show was promptly added \u2014 and both are currently sold out. <\/p>\n April 7-8 \u2014 Toronto, ON \u2014 Massey Hall<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n Three Days Grace have entered a new era, and it might just be the biggest of their career. The band\u2019s song \u201cMayday\u201d was the No. 1 song on the year-end 2025 Billboard Canada Mainstream Rock chart \u2014 and it landed them on the cover<\/a> of Billboard Canada<\/em>‘s Global No. 1s edition. The band reunited with original lead singer Adam Gontier, forming a new two-lead-singer power lineup alongside Matt Walst, and it’s a sensation throughout the world. They will be tour dogs this year, with multiple shows at venues and festivals throughout the country, including at Hamilton’s new TD Coliseum and Edmonton’s Rockin’ Thunder festival.

The Harlem rapper is embarking on his first outing in seven years, with five stops across the country, including Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, plus shows in Edmonton and Calgary, marking the first major hip-hop trek to pass through the Western Canadian province.

This year, Grammy-winning artist Rosal\u00eda is embarking on 42-date global outing<\/u><\/a> with a lone Canadian date at Toronto\u2019s Scotiabank Arena. It\u2019s an upgrade from her Budweiser Stage show in 2022. The trek marks the Spanish singer-songwriter\u2019s first string of arena shows, in support of her critically lauded fourth studio album, Lux<\/em>,<\/em> which many publications ranked as the best of 2025. Yet, in conversation with Billboard<\/em><\/u><\/a>, Rosal\u00eda revealed that she\u2019s not the biggest fan of touring: \u201cPerforming is an act for others. I don\u2019t like touring. I like to be onstage and I love my fans, so I do it.\u201d But when she hits the city\u2019s stage in June, she\u2019ll be able to clearly witness the impact of her work and the community of fans she has cultivated.<\/p>\n June 13 \u2014 Toronto, ON \u2014 Scotiabank Arena<\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s looking to be a big summer for country fans across Canada.

The North Carolina native is headlining three arena shows in Canada, including Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver during the summer. The global trek is set to be a major one, as the \u201cTwo Six\u201d singer embarks on his first solo headline tour in five years and his first full worldwide outing in nearly a decade. There\u2019s been plenty of pump-fake retirements throughout rap history, but Cole seems intent on The Fall-Off <\/em><\/em>being his goodbye album. If this is indeed the finish line, what a ride it\u2019s been for fans of the rapper who will get to see him take the stage for one last time. <\/p>\n July 25 \u2014 Montreal, QC \u2014 Bell Centre <\/em><\/em><\/p>\nThe Guess Who Reclaims Their Name \u2014 and the Stage Across Canada<\/h2>\n
