The Like A Rollin’ Thunder Tour 2026 includes 14 dates with Canadian rockers Big Wreck.
Live are getting ready to play live all across Canada.
In celebration of the 35th anniversary of their major label debut record Mental Jewelry, the multi-platinum U.S. rock band has announced their Like A Rollin’ Thunder Tour 2026, which includes a 14-date Canadian tour.
The Like A Rollin’ Thunder Tour marks the Ed Kowalczyk-fronted band's return to the Great White North in over 20 years. On this upcoming, nationwide trek, Live are teaming up with Canadian rockers Big Wreck, who are gearing up for the release of their new album, The Rest of the Story, in October.
The cross-country trek kicks off in Abbotsford, B.C., on February 23. The band will play 14 shows across the country, including stops in Calgary, Winnipeg and Hamilton, ON’s new venue, TD Coliseum, before concluding on March 14 in Halifax. On select dates, they'll be joined by special guests Econoline Crush and the Damn Truth.
Produced by Talking Heads keyboardist and guitarist Jerry Harrison, Mental Jewelry previously peaked at No. 73 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 200. It features tracks “Operation Spirit (The Tyranny of Tradition) and “Pain Lies on the Riverside,” both of which peaked on the U.S. Billboard Modern Rock airplay chart at No. 9 and No. 24, respectively — now fans get to hear the album that started their journey before their even bigger breakout, 1994's Throwing Copper.
