Neil Young has just announced an expansive North American tour - and there are plenty of Canadian stops along the way.
The tour starts in St. Paul, Minnesota on October 14 and ends at Madison Square Garden in New York on December 15.
Canadian dates include
Winnipeg (Oct. 16),
Regina (Oct. 18),
Calgary (Oct. 19),
Vancouver (Oct. 22),
Halifax (Nov. 29),
Montreal (Dec. 1),
Ottawa (Dec. 2) and
Toronto (Dec. 4).
Death Cab For Cutie and
Everest will open for the first half of the tour; then, starting in Halifax on November 29,
Wilco and Everest will take over the opening duties. (Of the announcement, Everest said "It's a dream come true.")
According to Live Nation, fans of the veteran rocker can expect an eclectic mix of newer material, as well as classic hits.
This round of dates comes on the heels of Young's hugely successful 2008 European tour, which had the Canadian-born, California-based rocker appearing in 14 countries over three months.
But if you want to go, better get that speed dial finger ready:
tickets for all of the Canadian shows go on sale Friday, August 22.
