TORONTO — Barenaked Ladies will be decking concert halls with festive cheer over the Christmas season.
The Toronto pop-rock quartet says it's laying down plans to take its Hometown Holidays with Barenaked Ladies tour across much of Canada.
The 14-date run of sing-along shows will feature the band playing selections from their "Barenaked for the Holidays" album and "a few other chestnuts and surprises," starting in Vancouver on Dec. 1.
Additional stops include Edmonton on Dec. 5, Calgary on Dec. 7, Regina on Dec. 9 and Winnipeg on Dec. 12.
They'll follow that with a run of Ontario dates that include Thunder Bay on Dec. 13, Ottawa on Dec. 17, Hamilton on Dec.18 and a final show in Toronto on Dec. 22.
The tour comes after the Barenaked Ladies was forced to cut dates in Toronto last year as Ontario saw a rise in COVID-19 cases driven by the Omicron variant.
Tickets go on sale for most dates starting on Thursday.
