Rock Icons The Doobie Brothers Announce 2026 North American Walk This Road Tour Dates

Published

on

Grammy Award-winning, Platinum-selling, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame legends The Doobie Brothers have announced tour dates for their upcoming North American Walk This Road Tour. The September and October headlining shows will follow on the heels of the band’s previously announced summer tour dates with Carlos Santana.

Produced by Live Nation, the Walk This Road Tour kicks off on Saturday, September 26 in Northfield, OH at MGM Northfield Park and stops in markets including Atlantic City, Wilmington, and Savannah, before wrapping up on Wednesday, October 21 in Estero, FL at Hertz Arena.

The touring announcement aligns with the 50th anniversary of the iconic band’s milestone album Takin’ It To The Streets, released in 1976 on Warner Bros. Records. Takin’ It To The Streets, the band’s sixth studio album, was the first Doobie Brothers album to feature singer/songwriter/keyboardist Michael McDonald on lead vocals and keys. The LP featured hit Doobie Brothers songs, “Takin’ It To The Streets” and “It Keeps You Runnin’” as well as numerous other fan favorites. In honor of the 50 year anniversary of the watershed album, Rhino Records is releasing Takin’ It to The Streets (Rhino Reserve), cut from original analog masters by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing. Takin’ It to The Streets (Rhino Reserve) will be available July 10 via Rhino Records. Pre-order now HERE.

The Doobie Brothers released their exceptional new studio album Walk This Road to critical acclaim in 2025. Rolling Stone dubbed it “vintage Doobies” with “all of the hallmarks that made the group such a force in the Seventies and Eighties — the irresistible melodies, the spark-up-and-chill vibes, those voices.” Associated Press praised it as having “something for everyone — honky-tonk, driving country, flirty Southern pop, moody folk and melodic rock.” Ultimate Classic Rock praised it for its “balance of rock, soul, pop and pristine adult contemporary for every type of Doobie Brothers fan.” Walk This Road is their 16th album and their first ever studio album featuring principal members Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons, John McFee and Michael McDonald, and the first in 40 years to feature McDonald in the studio again recording new music with the band. The record has ushered in a new era of the Doobie Brothers which saw a Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction, UK and US tours and an exquisite NPR Tiny Desk appearance, which included the hit song “Takin’ It To The Streets.” Get Walk This Road now HERE.

Simple Plan Canada tour 2027

Canadian pop-punk favourites Simple Plan are heading back across the country. The Montreal band has announced the Bigger Than You’d Think! Tour, marking their first proper cross-Canada headline run in more than a decade.

The 15-date tour will hit eight provinces in January and February 2027, starting in Victoria on January 26 before making stops across the country and wrapping up in Halifax on February 16.

The tour opens at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria, followed by a Vancouver show on January 27. From there, Simple Plan will head to Edmonton on January 29, Calgary on January 31, Saskatoon on February 1 and Winnipeg on February 2.

The band will then make its way through Ontario, with shows in Toronto on February 5, Kitchener on February 6, London on February 7, Kingston on February 9 and Ottawa on February 11. The tour continues to Montreal for a hometown performance at Bell Centre on February 12 before heading east for shows in Moncton on February 14, Sydney on February 15 and Halifax on February 16.

The Canadian run comes during a milestone period for Simple Plan. The band celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2026 with performances across the U.S., U.K., Europe, Asia and Australia. They also returned to Montreal this summer for the city’s first Warped Tour in five years, closing out the festival at Parc Jean-Drapeau.

Simple Plan recently played a sold-out headline show at Toronto’s RBC Amphitheatre, giving Canadian fans an early taste of what is coming next year.

Bowling For Soup will support Simple Plan throughout the entire tour. Yellowcard will join the lineup for all dates except the two British Columbia shows, where Vancouver’s own Marianas Trench will take their place.

The band says the chance to return to Canadian arenas after such a long gap is something they have been looking forward to.

“It’s been more than 10 years since the last time we did a proper cross-Canadian tour in our home and native land and we absolutely cannot wait for these shows,” Simple Plan said in a statement.

The band added that playing some of Canada’s biggest arenas more than 25 years into their career is something they do not take for granted, crediting their Canadian fans for sticking with them throughout the years.

Presales begin October 6 at noon local time, with tickets going on sale to the general public Friday, October 9 at 10 a.m. local time.

FLO’s second album ‘Therapy At The Club’ reimagines the club not just as a place of nightlife, but as a site of confession, release and self-possession across the emotional arc of a night out, from pre-game to morning after. Leaning into dark, euphoric R&B and pop with diaristic storytelling, the record explores desire, heartbreak, confidence, and healing in real time, together. Written alongside Amy Allen (Olivia Dean), Steph Jones (Sabrina Carpenter, JADE), Julian Bunetta (Teddy Swims, Gracie Abrams), and Boy Matthews (TWICE, Zayn), and featuring contributions from previous collaborators Skippz, Oak Felder and Sevyn Streeter, ‘Therapy At The Club’ is a bold showcase of FLO’s artistry, with extensive songwriting and production credits from the trio across the album. The 16-track album includes lead single ‘Leak It’, which earnt FLO their highest charting solo single in the UK, title track ‘Therapy At The Club’, which was first performed on their acclaimed NPR’s Tiny Desk performance, alongside fan favourite singles ‘Cry Ugly’, ‘Remedied’ and ‘Don’t Break Her Heart’.
