The Biggest Concerts Coming To Canada in 2026

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.

The Guess Who Reclaims Their Name — and the Stage Across Canada

Guess Who is heading back on the road? The now-reunited classic lineup of legendary Canadian rock band The Guess Who, featuring band principals Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings, is hitting the road to play shows across the country. Over the years, the dynamic duo have often performed together, as Bachman-Cummings, and played their classic Guess Who material, but not under that name, because of a long legal dispute with other former members of the band. Another lineup of musicians calling themselves The Guess Who toured extensively through North America for several decades, until recently, which Cummings referred to as a "cover band."

Now, Bachman and Cummings have reacquired full control over the trademark to the band’s name. “We are pleased to have reached a resolution that honours our shared history and allows us to move forward with a new sense of purpose and camaraderie,” Bachman said, with Cummings adding that they were “committed to preserving and celebrating the legacy for our fans."

Three Days Grace Bring Their Most Powerful Lineup Across Canada

Three Days Grace have entered a new era, and it might just be the biggest of their career. The band’s song “Mayday” was the No. 1 song on the year-end 2025 Billboard Canada Mainstream Rock chart — and it landed them on the cover of Billboard Canada's Global No. 1s edition. The band reunited with original lead singer Adam Gontier, forming a new two-lead-singer power lineup alongside Matt Walst, and it's a sensation throughout the world. They will be tour dogs this year, with multiple shows at venues and festivals throughout the country, including at Hamilton's new TD Coliseum and Edmonton's Rockin' Thunder festival.

Khalid Brings His Empowering New Era to the Stage

In 2025 at NXNE, Khalid ushered in a new era. In 2026, he’s bringing it to the stage. Last year, the pop-leaning singer-songwriter showcased a bright and adventurous sound on his album, After the Sun Goes Down. The former Billboard and Billboard Canada cover star described the project — his first since coming out as gay — as a turning point in his career, ahead of his outdoor performance at Billboard Canada THE STAGE at NXNE last June. "My new era of music feels like I’m finally ready to be the artist I’ve always dreamt of being," he said. Now, fans will get to experience that joyous energy first-hand when he hits up two Canadian cities in May — one being the newly-renamed RBC Amphitheatre in Toronto.

Luke Combs Kicks Off the Summer Stadium Show Season

Luke Combs is about to have a busy year. The country star announced that he will hit the stage in stadiums across the globe for the My Kinda Saturday Night Tour in support of his upcoming album, due early 2026. He’s set to deliver a stadium-sized show in Montreal for the first time, before kicking off the second season of concerts at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, which hosted some of the biggest blockbuster tours from the likes of Coldplay, Oasis, Blackpink and more last summer. He’s bringing along several artists for the ride, including the Canadian duo Thelma & James.

A$AP Rocky Flexes Five Dates Across the Country

A$AP Rocky knows how to do a Canadian tour. The Harlem rapper is embarking on his first outing in seven years, with five stops across the country, including Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, plus shows in Edmonton and Calgary, marking the first major hip-hop trek to pass through Alberta. Billed as "A$AP Rocky and his alter egos," the tour in support of the “Fashion Killa” singer’s newest album, Don't Be Dumb — his first full-length release in nearly eight years — peaked at No. 2 on the Canadian Albums chart. It's been just as long since his previous tour, which saw the rapper playing to 10,000-capacity arenas in Laval and Toronto. With venues twice the size this time around, it's set to be Rocky's biggest tour yet.

NXNE Brings Unforgettable Music Experiences to Canada

Last year, legendary festival NXNE celebrated 30 years and began a new partnership with Billboard Canada. That included some unforgettable shows that couldn't exist anywhere else, including Daniel Caesar's intimate return to the Mod Club, the site of his first headlining show, Khalid in the heart of Toronto, The Beaches hosting a party for their fans and the first Billboard Summit featuring global superstars including Diljit Dosanjh, deadmau5 and key figures behind OVO in rare conversation. That's just the beginning. 2026 will bring even more exclusive live music moments to venues throughout Toronto in June, animating the city during a big year.

Rosalía Plays Her Biggest Headline Show in Toronto

One of 2025's most lauded artists is coming to Toronto. This year, Grammy-winning artist Rosalía is embarking on 42-date global outing with a lone Canadian date at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena. It’s an upgrade from her Budweiser Stage show in 2022. The trek marks the Spanish singer-songwriter’s first string of arena shows, in support of her critically lauded fourth studio album, Lux, which many publications ranked as the best of 2025. Yet, in conversation with Billboard, Rosalía revealed that she’s not the biggest fan of touring: “Performing is an act for others. I don’t like touring. I like to be onstage and I love my fans, so I do it.” But when she hits the city’s stage in June, she’ll be able to clearly witness the impact of her work and the community of fans she has cultivated.

Chris Stapleton Highlights a Big Country Summer

It’s looking to be a big summer for country fans across Canada. Following tour announcements from Luke Combs and Zach Bryan, Chris Stapleton unveiled a slew of new dates for his All-American Road Show, including a pair of shows in Canada. It’s been three years since Stapleton’s last album, Higher, hinting that fans might be treated to an all-new LP this year. The country star is bringing buzzing names like Zach Top and The Teskey Brothers along for the ride, passing by Vancouver’s Rogers Arena before returning with a bigger show at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium.

J. Cole Brings His Final Album to Three Canadian Cities

With claims that he’s closing out his musical career, J. Cole is hitting the road following the release of his final album, The Fall-Off, which debuted at No. 2 on the Canadian Albums chart. The North Carolina native is headlining three arena shows in Canada, including Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver during the summer. The global trek is set to be a major one, as the “Two Six” singer embarks on his first solo headline tour in five years and his first full worldwide outing in nearly a decade. There’s been plenty of pump-fake retirements throughout rap history, but Cole seems intent on The Fall-Off being his goodbye album. If this is indeed the finish line, what a ride it’s been for fans of the rapper who will get to see him take the stage for one last time.

Ariana Grande Performs Her Only Canadian 'Eternal Sunshine’ Dates in Montreal

When a big pop artist comes to Canada, it’s not often that Montreal is the only Canadian date. Back in August, when Ariana Grande announced her global tour dates in support of her recent album, Eternal Sunshine, it took some fans aback to see the French-speaking province as the sole Canada dates, given the last time she performed north of the border was back in 2019. Still, the three nights in July sold out almost instantly, resulting in Grande addressing seedy ticket resellers on her social media. While the pop singer and Wicked actress — who has been gaining some serious Oscar buzz — has spent a great deal of time tending to the latter, many fans are excited to see her tap into the former, even if her 45-date global trek will be “half” the size of past tours.

Olivia Dean Plays Two Shows In Canada Following Ticketmaster Battle

Olivia Dean’s baby steps have turned into a sprint. The charming British singer-songwriter is swinging in for two Canadian arena shows following 2025’s intimate shows at Toronto’s Massey Hall and Montreal’s Théâtre Beanfield. In the fall, Dean had a breakthrough on the charts, with the uplifting “Man I Need,” and her sophomore album, The Art of Loving — both peaking at No. 4 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 and Canadian Albums charts. Her momentum came to a head when tickets went on sale, and many fans couldn’t snag them. Dean had a rather public battle with Ticketmaster about ticket pricing, and ultimately got her way — an advocate for the fans who will see her on this tour.

Guns N’ Roses Play a Trio of Canadian Dates to Wrap Up Summer

Legendary rock band Guns N’ Roses are undertaking a massive 2026 world tour, including three stadium dates across Canada. The fresh dates came with new music, a rarity from the hard-touring band, in the form of two new singles: “Nothin'” and “Atlas.” The band has dropped a series of one-off singles over the past decade, but have not released a full-length album since their nearly 15-years-in-the-making sixth LP, 2008’s Chinese Democracy. Expect some major theatrics from Axl Rose, Slash and the gang — still one of the biggest living rock bands.

Rush Return For The First Time In Over a Decade

Rush are returning to the stage. The 2026 headline tour, Fifty Something, will reunite original members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson to pay tribute to the music of Rush and the legacy of late drummer and lyricist Neil Peart. This will be the first time the Rush members will tour together since their R40 40th anniversary tour in 2015.

“It’s been over 10 years since Alex and I have performed the music of RUSH alongside our fallen bandmate and friend Neil," says Geddy Lee. "A lifetime’s worth of songs that we had put our cumulative hearts and souls into writing, recording and playing together onstage." Drummer and musician Anika Nilles will be filling in for this tour. Lee says they also hope to add "another musician or two" to expand the sound and "free up Alex and I, in order to show off some of our new fancy dance steps."

Hilary Duff Doubles Back to Toronto Following Sold-Out Comeback Show

This is what dreams are made of. After performing an intimate sold-out show at Toronto’s History at the top of the year, Hilary Duff is returning to the city in the summer for back-to-back nights at the newly-renamed venue, RBC Amphitheatre, with support from La Roux and Vancouver pop singer Jade LeMac. While tickets were hard to secure for the 2,500 capacity venue, these shows offer many more thousands of fans to see the Y2K star live. “I truly feel so lucky to be able to be onstage again in front of all of you beautiful people,” she wrote on Instagram, announcing her global trek. Since last year, Duff has been on a lucky streak, making a successful return to music with the release of her sixth studio album, Luck… or something and comeback single “Mature,” which peaked at No. 62 on the Canadian Hot 100.

Ed Sheeran Brings the World to Toronto

Ed Sheeran is taking his music around the globe and this time, it’s onstage. Sheeran made numerous cultural crossovers throughout 2025, teaming up with Punjabi heavyweights including Karan Aujla and Arijit Singh for remixes of tracks from his Play album, as well as earning a Canadian hit single with the Persian-influenced “Azizam,” which landed at No. 31 on Billboard Canada’s Year-End Canadian Hot 100. He will be bringing his global Loop Tour to stadium heights at Toronto’s Rogers Centre in August and, given both his and the city’s history with Punjabi music superstars, fans can only hope for a special guest appearance.

BTS Bring Their Monumental Comeback to Toronto

BTS are ready to take over the world once again. The superstar K-pop group are officially back from their four-year hiatus and their monumental comeback plans are already in motion. After announcing a new album set for March 20, the group revealed dates for a global stadium tour in 2026 and 2027, including a pair of Canadian dates at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium. After hosting major K-pop acts like Blackpink and Twice, Toronto is set to host one of the biggest moments in modern K-pop history, drawing in BTS fans from all over the country.

Warped Tour Returns to Montreal for the First Time in 12 Years

For Montreal punk music fans, there is good reason to celebrate. The beloved and iconic Vans Warped Tour is making its grand return to the province in August. After a highly successful 30th anniversary run in the U.S. — which included Canadian festival veterans Simple Plan and first-timer Avril Lavigne — the punk fest organizers are returning to the city that has been a major market for punk, emo and ska throughout the years. “Montreal has always made classic punk bands feel at home, and they'll definitely be represented on the lineup,” founder and organizer Kevin Lyman told Billboard Canada.

Boots and Hearts Taps Shaboozey & Russell Dickerson for Inaugural Two-Day Festival in Edmonton

Edmonton country music fans: get ready to say yeehaw. Boots and Hearts, one of Canada’s biggest country music festivals, is making its way out west. To kick off its inaugural year, platinum-certified singer Russell Dickerson and chart record breaking juggernaut Shaboozey have been tapped as headliners, with the full festival lineup being revealed at a later date. In 2025, the festival celebrated its 15th anniversary so expanding was a natural next step, as organizers took note of the “passionate country-music community providing the perfect environment," Eva Dunford, co-founder of Boots and Hearts Music Festival, shared with Billboard Canada.

Lily Allen Brings West End Girl to Canadian Arenas

In 2025, Lily Allen returned to music in a major way. The U.K. singer-songwriter took a step back from the industry, following 2018’s No Shame, but re-entered the cultural zeitgeist when her divorce from a high-profile movie star filled the tabloids. In the following months, Allen acted quickly, releasing her fifth studio album, West End Girl — written and recorded over almost two weeks, detailing her marriage’s breakdown with the same cheekiness and honesty of her earlier work. The LP put Allen back on the map, peaking at No. 45 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart. She’s continuing to ride the momentum, as she gears up for her biggest North American headlining tour to date, which includes arena shows at Montreal's Bell Centre, Toronto's RBC Amphitheatre and Vancouver's .
