Barenaked Ladies announced Monday they are taking their Hometown Holidays show on the road this year.
“It’s been a couple of long, cold, lonely winters,” Ed Robertson said, in a release, “so let’s have some fun!”
Last year, the band was scheduled to do a 15-show residency in Toronto between Dec. 2 and 23 but pulled the plug after nine performances “out of an abundance of caution” amidst rising COVID-19 cases.
This time, BNL plans to hit 14 cities between B.C. and Ontario from Dec. 1 to 22.
The band will be joined by UK comedian and singer Boothby Graffoe.
Tickets go on sale Sept. 29 at 10 a.m. local time. (Windsor show tickets go on sale Oct. 7.)
