Some exciting additions to the roster of shows in Canada this fall, starting with arguably the biggest - the Boss has announced three more shows in Ottawa October 19, Hamilton October 21 and Vancouver November 26. Bruce Springsteen was briefly in the jam-light a few years after a sit-in with Phish for Mustang Sally, Bobby Jean and Glory Days at Bonnaroo in 2009. He was already scheduled for gigs in Toronto and Moncton, NB on August 24 and 26.
If Thunder Road doesnt get your heart racing, maybe the Golden Road does - Grateful Dead emulators-extraordinaire the Dark Star Orchestra make their first ever foray into Canada to Toronto's Danforth Music Hall on Thursday, November 15. This is incredibly exciting, to say the least. Mark your calendars! I got to see these guys in Amsterdam at Jam in the Dam, and during the artists' signing session i was telling some of the band members how much we'd love to see them in Canada. I was even rappin' about hockey with drummer Rob Koritz, who's from St. Louis. In other words, im gonna take a lot of the credit for making this show happen!
Audio-visual-experience Pretty Lights has added a stop in Vancouver to his fall tour, on September 11. The DJ was part of the Full Flex Express Tour that came through Canada a few weeks ago with Skrillex and other dub steppers, and seems to have taken a shine to Canada - he is also headlining the Shambhala fest in BC on August 11.
As previously discussed, The Who announced dates for their fall Quadrophenia tour, starting in Montreal on November 20, before Ottawa November 31, Toronto November 23, and Hamilton February 19.
Finally, Good Old War now has a slew of Canadian dates in addition to their opening gig for Dispatch in Toronto on October 8. Over the second half of their tour they will be supporting Xavier Rudd in his triumphant return to Canada, playing Victoria, Vancouver, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, London, Kitchener, Hamilton, Guelph, Ottawa, QC and Montreal from November 14-December 7.
