Cancer Bats Tour
Six-time JUNO-nominated Canadian hardcore punk heavyweights, Cancer Bats, are set to embark on an exciting and intimate tour across Ontario. Kicking off with a handful of dates in January and followed by additional shows in March, this tour offers fans a rare chance to experience the band live while also playing a pivotal role in shaping their upcoming album.
For Cancer Bats, the decision to take this more personal approach comes from the belief that true inspiration is often sparked by the energy and connection shared with their audience.
“The whole idea with this tour is to be working on new music but not to shut ourselves away in a room and overthink what Bats fans want from a new album,” shares lead vocalist Liam Cormier.
“We need to play some packed rowdy shows to be immersed in the creative sweat, spit and grit of why we love playing these songs live and the pure release that we all get, band and fans, when we’re all vibing together screaming our lungs out having a blast in a small club.”
The 8-date tour will revisit key markets that were crucial to the band's early days, places where fans have been supporting them since their high school years. With each stop, the band guarantees an energetic and dynamic setlist, packed with plenty of fan favourites.
Cormier shares, “These are the true Bats fans that have been in our corner since the start and who we always want to stay connected to. So this tour is a call to all the true Bats fans who love to come and rage with us! ”.
Canadian doom metal band Ethereal Tomb and Brampton hardcore unit Mile End will join the Bats on the January leg of the tour. New England extreme metal powerhouse Escuela Grind and Mile End will support for the March run.
Tickets for all shows are now available to purchase.
