The Biggest Concerts Coming To Canada in 2026

Rush reunite for their first tour in more than a decade, Ariana Grande comes to Montreal (but not Toronto), Ed Sheeran ignites stadiums and much more. It's going to be a big year for music.

After one of Canada's biggest ever years for mega tours at stadiums and festivals throughout the country, 2026 is already shaping up to be another major one.

As we head into the new year, many huge tours have already announced they're coming to the country, and that doesn't even include tours that are still rumoured. From young rising upstarts like EsDeeKid and Olivia Dean to bona fide superstars like Guns N’ Roses and huge reunions, like Rush, these are the biggest tours that are coming to Canada this year.
