The two shows are the only Canadian stops on the tour, which is promoted by Live Nation, according to Billboard Canada. A presale for fans who sign up on the band’s website begins today, Oct. 20, and a Reserved by Spotify presale opens the same day, Billboard Canada reported.

The Toronto show is July 21, 2027, at RBC Amphitheatre, with David Gray as the opener, Billboard Canada said. JamBase also lists a Toronto date on July 21 and a Vancouver date on May 30, and said general sales open Oct. 23 at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster and AXS. JamBase did not name the Canadian venues. Ticket prices for either city were not published in the sources reviewed.

The tour marks the anniversary of the band’s debut album, You or Someone Like You, which Billboard Canada said was released on Oct. 1. The lineup is Rob Thomas, Kyle Cook, Paul Doucette and Brian Yale. Live Nation said the band has sold more than 40 million records worldwide, as quoted by Daily Hive.

Other openers on the tour, which will appear at select stops, are The All-American Rejects, O.A.R., Matt Nathanson and The Lucky, according to JamBase and Billboard Canada. Neither outlet said which acts will play which dates beyond the Canadian openers above.
