Tinashe wants Toronto and Montreal audiences to match her freak.

The R&B singer will be coming to Canada for two dates on her Match My Freak World Tour, stopping in at MTELUS in Montreal on November 10 and Rebel night club in Toronto on November 11. She's having a good summer, with viral song "Nasty" becoming her highest charting single since 2016, giving her strong momentum for a tour. Tickets go on sale Friday, August 9.


She's not the only buzzy artist coming to Canada this fall. English dance music producer Fred again..., who recently played his first stadium show at the Memorial Coliseum in L.A., is travelling to some more new places this fall in support of his upcoming album Ten Days. His Places We've Never Been Tour will stop in Toronto for two nights at the Scotiabank Arena, on October 3 and 4. Tickets go on sale Friday, August 9.

Country singer Carly Pearce, on the other hand, is skipping Toronto and playing a handful of dates in Western Canada on her Hummingbird World Tour. She'll stop in Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Saskatoon in November, following an appearance at Ontario's Boots & Hearts this weekend.

Indie rockers Tokyo Police Club have added two Ontario dates to their farewell tour this fall, stopping in Ottawa on November 22 and London on November 23, ahead of their four final shows in Toronto. Menno Versteeg of disbanded group Hollerado will open at the London and Ottawa shows, with Hollerado reuniting to open two of the Toronto shows.

Extending their own reunion, Hollerado has also announced a parking lot warm up show on September 28 in Toronto, as they prepare to give Tokyo Police Club a proper send-off.
