Three Days Grace are getting up close and personal with an intimate group of fans.

The band will give a select group of fans ultimate access for a special soundcheck edition of Billboard Canada LIVE, at Hamilton's TD Coliseum this Sunday (May 3).


The show is part of the Billboard Canada LIVE series on the Road to NXNE, where Billboard Canada will also present some major shows by Canadian acts in Toronto from June 10-14.

Before that, Ontario-bred rock juggernauts Three Days Grace will take over Hamilton’s TD Coliseum for an afternoon that peels back the curtain on one of the most successful reunions in rock history. The band is currently operating at full throttle with their new lineup featuring the return of original frontman Adam Gontier alongside Matt Walst, a dual-lead dynamic that has revitalized their sound and sent them back to the top of the Billboard Canada rock charts.

Their recent output has dominated the airwaves, making them Canadian cover stars for Billboard's Global No. 1 series at the end of last year.

While they are known for selling out arenas and playing major festivals, this event offers a rare, stripped-back perspective. Their high-octane anthems will be reimagined for an intimate acoustic set followed by a Billboard Canada-led fan Q&A. The conversation will dive into their journey from Norwood, Ontario, to global superstardom, and fans will have the opportunity to submit their own questions directly to the band.

This is an exclusive event with extremely limited capacity. Fifty lucky winners will be chosen at random to receive a pair of tickets that grant access to both the 2 pm Billboard Canada LIVE afternoon session on May 3 and the band's headlining concert later that evening at TD Coliseum.

Enter here for a chance to win.

Ed Sheeran Addresses Controversy at First Show Since Openers, Backing Band Dropped Off Tour, Calls It ‘The Best Show of My Life’

Before his show in Philadelphia, Sheeran read a statement acknowledging the issue of Israel and Palestine, but still tried to keep things neutral.

Ed Sheeran needed to address the situation before he could start playing guitar. It wasn’t how he wanted to start his show, and he’s made it abundantly clear that the last thing he wants around him is controversy or, in his words, to be an “activist musician.”

But here he was, at the first show after his opener and friend Macklemore was kicked off the tour, following pressure by a group of venue owners led by Robert Kraft who took issue with Macklemore’s statement of support toward Palestine. That led to the rest of the tour’s openers and even Sheeran’s backing band for the tour dropping off the tour in solidarity with Macklemore — all of which became a huge news story and PR nightmare for the usually very un-controversial Sheeran. And though he had already made one highly scrutinized statement online while the news story was at its most potent, Sheeran felt the need to address the crowd at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday night (Sept. 19) in person, before the show really started.
