Juno Award winners and multi-platinum chart-toppers Hedley an-nounced their coast-to-coast 2016 Canadian arena tour in support of their sixth studio album, Hello.Hedley will perform at SaskTel Centre, May 5 with very special guest Carly Rae Jepsen, and Fran-cesco Yates.

Once again featuring a state-of-the-art stage production, the 2016 tour will be Hedley’s most impressive show to date, with staging elements that will bring the band closer to the fans than ever before.

“Playing live is who we are, and going on tour is the ultimate way for us to interact with our fans,” said frontman and creative force Ja-cob Hoggard in a news release. “We’re about to unveil the most spectacular tour we’ve ever embarked upon. We can’t wait to connect with each and every one of our fans, in person…and to pull some pretty amazing tricks out of our sleeves. We have amazing fans and we can’t wait to share this with them.”

Having sold close to 500,000 tickets in Canadian arenas since 2010, Hedley have

quickly and quietly become one of the most successful touring acts in the country. In 2013 alone, the Wild Life tour sold 150,000 tickets across Canada.

Supporting Hedley on the Hello World Tour is pop sensation Carly Rae Jepsen, whose infectious “Call Me Maybe” was one of the

biggest hits in the world in 2012. Francesco Yates is only 20 years old, but his debut single “Better to Be Loved” has already rocketed him to stardom, and was quickly followed by the swoony ballad “Call”.

Tickets start at $35 (plus fees) and are avail-able at www.ticketmaster.ca.

Collective Soul, the multi-platinum selling band that helped sonically defi ne alternative rock, released their long-awaited ninth al-bum, See What You Started By Continuing, on October 2nd, 2015. The tour stops in Sas-katoon at SaskTel Centre, April 25.

The group is excited to be heading back to Canada, with frontman, Ed Roland, com-menting, “We always love seeing our friends in Canada, and we can’t wait for the tour. Let the rock begin!!!”

See What You Started By Continuing was recorded and mixed at Edible Studios in Atlanta, GA and mixed by industry veteran Shawn Grove. The album debuted at num-ber one on the Billboard Alternative Album chart, marking the band’s highest charting

position on the Alternative Album chart in their illustrious career.

Formed in the small town of Stockbridge, Georgia, in the early 1990’s, Collective Soul consists of principal songwriter and front-man, Ed Roland (lead vocals, keyboards, gui-tars), Dean Roland (rhythm guitarist), Will Turpin (bassist), Johnny Rabb (drummer) and Jesse Triplett (lead guitarist).

The multi-platinum quintet has been mak-ing music for two decades since then and has a catalogue of number one hits under their belts. Collective Soul helped shape and de-fi ne alternative rock with lots of guitars and attitude.

Collective Soul, April 25, at SaskTel Cen-tre. Tickets available at all Ticketmaster out-lets.

For George and his long-time band – Je� Simon (drums, percussion), Bill Blough (bass guitar), Jim Suhler (rhythm guitar) and Buddy Leach (saxophone) – their new Badder Than Ever Tour is indestructible proof that staying true to yourself and the music can still mean something.

And with a catalog of classics that includes “Who Do You Love”, “I Drink Alone”, “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer”, “Move It On Over”, “Bad To The Bone” and more, being able to share it with audiences is what will always matter.

Ultimately, the 2016 Badder Than Ever tour is 50 per cent celebration, 50 per cent declaration and 100 per cent Thorogood throwdown. But after four-plus decades as one of the most consistent – and consistently unique – careers in rock, can a guitar-slinger still at the top of his game choose a moment that brings it all home?

“Stan Musial was once asked, ‘What was the greatest day of your career?’ And Stan said ‘Every day when I walk onto the fi eld is the greatest day.’ I feel the same way,” George says. “Every night when I walk out on that stage is the highlight of my career. I hit that fi rst chord, the band kicks in, and we hear the audience respond. That’s the rush. Over 40 years into this, and every night that’s still the only moment that matters.”

George Thorogood hits the stage at TCU Place, April 28 at 7:30 p.m. The Ben Miller Band will open for Thorogood. Tickets start at $35.

Paul Mercs Concerts is thrilled to announce the Canadian 2016 tour of the international-ly-acclaimed Beatles concert, RAIN: A Trib-ute to The Beatles! Loved by their Canadian fans, this tour is like a home-coming for the globally successful group. RAIN will perform at TCU Place, Monday, April 25.

RAIN got its start playing the Reno area until they crossed the country for a success-ful run on Broadway as well as successful engagements all across the US. As “the next best thing to seeing The Beatles!” (Associ-ated Press), RAIN performs the full range of The Beatles’ discography live onstage, includ-ing the most complex and challenging songs that The Beatles themselves recorded in the studio but never performed for an audience.

In addition to the updated sets that include brand new LED, high-defi nition screens and multimedia content, new songs have also been included with the launch of the 2016 Tour.

Together longer than The Beatles, RAIN has mastered every song, gesture and nuance of the legendary foursome, delivering a to-tally live, note-for-note performance that’s as infectious as it is transporting. From the early hits to later classics (“I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “Hard Day’s Night,” “Sgt. Pep-per’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” “Let It Be,” “Come Together,” “Hey Jude” and more), this adoring tribute will take you back to a time when all you needed was love, and a little help from your friends! 

RAIN comes to Saskatoon at TCU Place. Tickets start at $47 (plus fees).
