TORONTO — Blue Rodeo is making the most of its 40th anniversary with a coast-to-coast Canadian tour.
The legendary Toronto alt-country act has announced a 27-date run that kicks off this fall and continues into early next year.
The tour begins with two nights in Calgary on Oct. 1 and 2, before winding through the western provinces, with stops that include Victoria, Edmonton and Vancouver.
Other cities include Winnipeg, Ottawa and Montreal, and East Coast dates in Halifax and Saint John.
The band ends its tour with two nights at Massey Hall in Toronto on Jan. 23 and 24, 2026.
All of the dates will include Halifax singer-songwriter Adam Baldwin. Tickets go on sale to the general public on June 6.
Blue Rodeo's spot in Canadian music history has been celebrated in a number of ways over the past year.
Last fall, Greg Keelor and Jim Cuddy were inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in recognition of their work together on songs that include "Try" and "5 Days in May."
Before they embark on their anniversary tour, Blue Rodeo will perform at several Canada Day weekend events, as well as at their annual summertime hometown show at Toronto's Budweiser Stage on Aug. 23.
