Megadeth Bring Global Farewell Tour Across the Country: Canadian Concerts of the Week

Plus, Montreal’s Loud brings his melodic rap sensibilities to his hometown, Jully Black shines as she returns to the stage in Vancouver and more.

Megadeth are coming to Canada on their farewell tour. Last summer, the heavy metal quartet announced their final hurrah, including their last album, a self-titled effort that landed at No. 4 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart and became their first No. 1 album on the Billbaord 200. As they take the stage for the final time in Canada, it’s a fitting way to close out an acclaimed decades-long career.

Francophone rapper Loud brings his signature flow to his home province, while rock band +LIVE+ continues its cross-Canada trek — against the wishes of former band members.Indie rock outfit Rainbow Kitten Surprise performs two colourful shows in Toronto, and Canadian icon Jully Black is back on the west coast for the first time in over a decade


Concert of the Week
