Daniel Caesar is coming home.

Today (April 1), the Toronto R&B singer announced that he’s hitting the road in support of his latest album, Son of Spergy. This spring and summer, he’ll perform across Asia and North America, with seven arena stops in his home country.


Caesar’s tour kicks off at Singapore’s Indoor Stadium on May 18. He’ll spend two months touring Asia before hitting up North America in July, performing a string of shows in the U.S.

The following month, he’ll return to Canada, where he’ll play across seven arenas, starting with a hometown show at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena (Aug. 2). Then, he’ll do back-to-back shows at Ottawa’s Canadian Tire Centre (Aug. 5 ) and Montreal’s Centre Bell (Aug. 6). He’ll head over to Western Canada, playing Winnipeg’s Canada Life Centre (Aug. 10), Edmonton’s Rogers Place (Aug. 13) and Calgary’s Scotiabank Saddledome (Aug. 14). He’ll wrap up the Canadian leg with a show at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena (Aug. 16).

Caesar will be joined by singer-songwriter Faye Webster for the Toronto date, while rapper 070 Shake takes over for the remainder of the Canadian shows.

The tour announcement is hot on the heels of Caesar’s two wins at this year’s Juno Awards, where he performed and was honoured with the International Achievement Award. Caesar took home songwriter of the year and contemporary R&B recording of the year, for Son of Spergy, bringing his dad, “the original Spergy,” on-stage to accept the latter accolade.

Released last October, Son of Spergy marked Caesar’s third top 10 album on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart. Filled with introspection, nostalgia and a reckoning with his religious upbringing, during his Billboard and Billboard Canada cover story, Caesar shared he was in a purer place and ready to move forward.

“I feel like we’re picking up where we left off,” he said ahead of the album’s release. “I almost feel like I’m starting again — and I love it.”

While this is the first full tour for Caesar’s newest album, he hosted spontaneous pop-up shows across North America last year, including one in his hometown. He performed a selection of then-unreleased tracks from Son of Spergy, along with some of his biggest hits like “Best Part” and “Japanese Denim.” He also performed a special intimate concert at Mod Club in Toronto at NXNE 2025.

Tickets go on sale Friday, April 3, at 10 am local time, following an artist presale on Thursday, April 2, at 10 am local time. Sign up here for early access.

Dan Hawie Promoted to Managing Director of Last Gang Records by MNRK Music Group

Formerly with Dine Alone Records and Nevado Records, the Toronto-based label exec joined Last Gang in 2017 where he served as director of marketing and A&R.

MNRK Music Group has announced the promotion of Dan Hawie to managing director of Last Gang Records. Effective immediately, Hawie will oversee Last Gang’s finances and assume expanded leadership across A&R and brand strategy. Based in Toronto, he will report to Randy Derebegian, vp of artist development, and Chris Moncada, coo of MNRK Music Group.

Foundational artists like Death From Above 1979, Metric, and Mother Mother are still shaping culture today, while our new guard, including Bella Poarch, Ho99o9, Loving, and Mondo Cozmo, continues to push boundaries and move the culture forward. I’m grateful to help preserve that independent spirit, and especially proud to champion such incredible art with the same passion and belief as the artists creating it.”
