Anyone going to these tours?

Off With Their Heads kicks off a western Canadian tour next weekend in Winnipeg and I couldn't be more excited! Pretty much the only good punk band (aside from The Flatliners and Strung Out) that has decided to come through this year. Buy tickets and support them!

The same weekend the Stars/Metric tour kicks off in BC. I doubt I'll go, but I have a feeling some people on this site are stoked for this tour.

Also in BC that weekend, Comeback Kid will kick off a western Canadian tour with Backtrack/Expire.

Gallows will start their first ever cross-Canada tour on Tuesday, possibly because Wade MacNeil is now in the band. I know I'm definitely going to be there to check them out on November 16.

Lifestory: Monologue started their farewell tour in Kitchener on Friday and the band will be touring through other parts of southern Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes this month.

Despite the fact that Sum 41 is from Canada, the band is only playing three cities on the Does This Look Infected? tour. The first stop is Toronto on November 8.

Any shows I'm missing?

I'm guessing you couldn't get tickets?

Yeah, I'm glad I got to see them on the original DTLI? tour at the Burton Cummings Theatre 9 years ago. They used to play here all the time, before Dave left.

Have fun then! I haven't seen them in ages, but I remember they were really good live.

I just got back from the show if you have a chance to go see Gallows in Canada on this tour just fucking GO. I spent an amazing night their set is brutal and extremely well executed. Also I'm happy we got a good response from the audience in general I truly spent a memorable night!!!! Fuck I love music.

Awesome, glad to hear the Gallows show was worth it! That makes me even more excited to see them next Friday.
