Beloved Canadian sons and classic rock legends Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman have announced an extensive U.S. headline tour, performing as The Guess Who for the first time in 23 years. Dubbed the Takin’ It Back Tour, the newly announced U.S. dates kick off June 25th at Mystic Lake Amphitheater in Minneapolis, MN, making stops in major markets including Chicago, Detroit, Boston, Atlanta, and Los Angeles, and will feature support from Don Felder (formerly of the Eagles). 

Cummings comments, “Randy and I are incredibly grateful that our music has endured all these years. Knowing that people still want to hear these songs live means everything to us, and when we go out on stage, our goal is to truly honour the music.” Bachman adds, “I’m really excited about reuniting with Burton and touring again as The Guess Who. We created an amazing body of work together, along with memories that have lasted for decades, and those songs are still as strong as ever. I can’t wait to sing them with everyone very soon.”

After six decades and a hard-fought battle to reclaim their name, The Guess Who’s Takin’ It Back Tour will officially kick off in Canada, making stops in Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, and more – dates are on sale now.

Formed in 1965, The Guess Who – who have been dubbed “the Canadian Beatles” – released eleven studio albums, all of which charted in both Canada and the United States, including 1970s American Woman, which went to Number One in Canada and Number 9 in the US. They’ve placed fourteen singles in the US Top 40 chart and more than thirty in Canada – rock & roll classics like “American Woman,” “These Eyes,” “No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature,” and “No Time.”

With their unmatched songwriting catalog and deep influence on rock music, this moment marks a rare and meaningful full-circle return – one that longtime fans have been waiting for, and one that underscores just how enduring their mighty legacy continues to be.

Following months of relentless rumors and fever pitch speculation, it was announced today that Metallica will debut its Life Burns Faster residency at Sphere in Las Vegas. The highly-anticipated eight show run will take place on October 1 and 3, 15 and 17, 22 and 24, and 29 and 31, 2026 — and will continue the No Repeat Weekend tradition that began with the 2023 kick-off of the band’s M72 World Tour, with no songs repeated on each Thursday and Saturday throughout the course of the run.

Two-night No Repeat Weekend tickets and single-night tickets will go on sale March 6th at 10am PT. To register for tickets or for further information regarding pre-sales, enhanced experiences, travel packages and more, visit metallica.lnk.to/MetallicaSphere

Metallica’s standing at the vanguard of new and unique live experiences has seen the band play to millions of fans across all seven continents in every shape and size of venue imaginable. Their current M72 World Tour has played to more than 4 million fans from Europe and North America to the Pacific Rim and Middle East since its spring 2023 kick-off, its performances and production universally hailed as among the best of Metallica’s 40+ years of traversing the globe.

The band’s Sphere residency will see live staples and surprises spanning the Metallica catalog enhanced by the venue’s immersive technologies that will allow fans to experience the sound and fury of the band’s live performance in new experiential dimensions. Whether you’ve seen Metallica from the upper reaches of a stadium or arena, at an intimate club or theater gig or from the famed Snake Pit surrounded by the 360-degree M72 stage, Sphere’s technology, including the world’s highest resolution LED display that wraps up, over and around the audience; Sphere Immersive Sound, which delivers audio with unmatched clarity and precision to every guest; and multi-sensory 4D technology, will present a wholly unique and entirely new Metallica experience for all who attend — including James, Lars, Kirk and Robert.

Metallica co-founder/drummer Lars Ulrich commented, “About 12 seconds into the opening night of  Sphere with U2 back in ‘23, I thought ‘We have to do this, it’s completely uncharted territory!’ This residency gives us another chance to reinvent how we interact with our fans in a live setting. We are beyond excited to share this with the world in six months time, and way fuckin’ psyched to go next level!”
