Johnny Reid's Tartan Army is primed with news that an earlier postponed concert tour is back on and is scheduled to start in March.


Love Someone: An Intimate Evening with Johnny Reid is a monster of a tour too, topping more than 100 shows with multiple show dates from Vancouver Island to Newfoundland.

Opening nights are March 15 and 16 at Club Regent Event Centre in Winnipeg. The final dates according to the schedule are at the Regent Theatre in Oshawa, Oct. 27 and 28.

Owing to the fact that an earlier tour had to be postponed because of regional lockdowns, 90-percent of the shows on this tour are already sold out with new additions being added almost daily to fit fan demand where possible.

A jury in New York has found that Live Nation runs an unlawful monopoly that touches multiple corners of the concert industry. But it will take some time before we find out the consequences.

The blockbuster verdict, which came down on Wednesday (April 15) after a monthlong trial and four days of jury deliberations, is limited to findings of liability. That means jurors were asked only to decide whether Live Nation monopolized the market for primary concert ticketing and unlawfully required artists to use its promotion services in order to play its amphitheaters — and they answered a resounding “yes” on all counts.
