Tenille Townes Drops Canadian Fall Tour Dates

Accompanying the debut of her introspective single “Thing That Brought Me Here (Truck Song),” Tenille Townes, the country sensation from Grande Prairie, Alberta, is set to embark on an extensive nationwide tour this autumn. Covering nine provinces, her journey promises to bring her heartfelt music to audiences far and wide.
Commencing on October 9 in Moncton, Tenille‘s tour sweeps through the Maritimes with additional performances in Saint John (October 10) and Fredericton (October 12), culminating in Halifax on October 11. Venturing into central Canada, she’ll grace Ontario with her presence, captivating audiences in Belleville (October 24), Guelph (October 25), Toronto (October 26), London (October 30), and Ottawa (October 31), with a special stop in Montreal on November 1.
The latter leg of the tour ventures westward, with Tenille making heartfelt appearances in Winnipeg (November 13) and Saskatoon (November 14) before traversing her home province of Alberta with shows in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, and, of course, her hometown of Grande Prairie. Bringing the journey to a poignant close, she’ll enchant audiences in British Columbia, performing in Vancouver on November 21 and 22 and concluding with enchanting back-to-back nights in Kelowna on November 23 and 24.

Rising rock artist sombr is hitting the road in a big way this year. The newly announced You Are the Reason Tour spans 37 dates, bringing the singer to arenas and major festivals across North America through summer and fall.
The run begins with a handful of high-profile appearances in July, including stops in Mexico City, a set at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and a performance at Lollapalooza. The full tour officially kicks off September 29 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, marking the start of a packed fall schedule.
From there, sombr will move through major cities including Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, Austin, Nashville, Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Boston, and Philadelphia. The tour wraps November 23 with a final show at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The tour’s support lineup is just as notable. Artists like Interpol, King Princess, The Last Dinner Party, The Hellp, and Dove Cameron are set to appear across select dates, giving the tour a strong mix of indie, pop, and alternative energy.
Tickets roll out in stages. An artist presale begins April 14 at 10 a.m. local time, followed by additional presales, including a Spotify offering on April 16. General ticket sales open April 17 at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster. Fans can also look to StubHub, where resale tickets are backed by the platform’s FanProtect guarantee, though prices may vary depending on demand.
