Off the heels of a completely sold out Canadian Tour, Juno-nominated alternative rock band, The Glorious Sons, announce their homecoming show at the Rogers
K-Rock Centre February 24, 2018. The band sold out all 19 dates of their cross-Canadian tour including four nights at The Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto. This K-Rock show is not only a celebration of exciting touring success but also marks ten years since fellow Kingston band The Tragically Hip played the inaugural concert at the venue. Sign up here to join the TGS Union for exclusive first access to tickets starting today at 10am.
First of all, it’s good to be home. Secondly, to play a stage like this where I’ve seen so many great artists perform over the last ten years is an honour and a privilege. Three years ago this wasn’t even fathomable. We’re coming off our biggest Canadian tour to date, and to come back home and celebrate with our friends, our family and our city is extremely fulfilling. – Brett Emmons
