Diljit Dosanjh Spreads His Aura and Makes History in Canada

Diljit Dosanjh made history in 2024 by playing the largest Punjabi concert outside of India at Vancouver’s BC Place, and he doubled down on that feat this year. The Punjabi music superstar’s Aura tour is currently underway and sees him returning to the same stadiums where he made Punjabi music history — Vancouver’s BC Place and Toronto’s Rogers Centre — as well as arenas in Manitoba and Alberta. Between becoming the first Punjabi artist with four charting albums in Canada and the Toronto Metropolitan University course dedicated to him, Diljit’s aura continues to increase.

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.

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 Billboard 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.

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.

Noah Kahan is no stranger to playing large crowds and this summer, he's officially upgrading to stadiums. His new album The Great Divide topped the Canadian Albums Chart and will be supported by his biggest trek to date, an international stadium tour with two Canadian stops in Vancouver and Toronto and it’s already sold out. While the record mostly sees him grappling with his rapid ascent to fame, it's already marking new career heights for the singer-songwriter. "The band and I will leave it all out there, and just know that you’ll be watching us live out an impossible dream. Love you all so much,” he said on Instagram.

After touring in Europe in May, the band will circle back to Toronto for a trio of shows at the Mod Club, with the first one on July 14 taking place right after the band opens for Jack White at RBC Amphitheatre. The group will play Ottawa Bluesfest in between its Toronto gigs, before heading to Vancouver in August.

“They're juggling a lot in terms of building the show and levelling up, all the while deciding where they wanna go,” says their manager Steve Himmelfarb amid their red-hot rise and growing touring schedule.

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.

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.

If her Coachella set is any indication, fans can expect a vibrant celebration of her Latin culture and community, filled with colourful costumes and a wide variety of musical styles. It's the biggest Latin music concert of the year coming to Canada.

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. Drummer and musician Anika Nilles will be joining them on this tour.

“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." 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 beginning of the year that was the talk of the town, 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.

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 Rogers Arena. If her earlier show at Toronto's Massey Hall was anything to judge by, the theatrical production is one you don't want to miss.

Rod Stewart Hints at Possible Road Retirement After Completing 2027 UK One Last Time Dates: ‘That’ll Probably Be It’

The 81-year-old singer has been on the road for more than six decades.

Sir Rod Stewart has hinted that he might retire from major touring commitments after completing as-yet-unannounced dates on his yearslong One Last Time farewell tour. The 81-year-old pop icon has been on the road on the outing since 2024 and in a new interview with the TalkSport soccer chat show in the U.K. on Monday (May 18), Stewart laid out his plans.

“I’ve got 40-odd shows this year and that’s not really a lot,” Stewart told hosts Jeff Stelling and Ray Parlour. “And I’m touring the U.K. next year and doing the O2 and that will probably be it, I think. I’ll have to do something new … come on your show more often.”
