After bringing an end to years of acrimony at a Canada Walk of Fame charity fundraiser late last year, the professional relationship between Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman has warmed to the point where these two former bandmates have committed to a 17-city Canada-wide tour this summer.


The ‘Together Again’ tour was announced on Monday by concert promoter Live Nation. The first date is in Windsor, ON, on June 11 and concludes in Montreal on July 29. Significantly, Summerside and St. John’s are also included in the arena tour that also includes one festival date, in Kemptville, ON.
