Angine de Poitrine add new Canadian dates to sprawling 2026 tour

Québec experimental duo Angine de Poitrine are extending their relentless 2026 touring cycle with another batch of North American dates, including newly added Canadian dates in Picton, Vancouver, and Toronto.

The added performances arrive as the masked pair continue building a reputation as one of the country’s most unpredictable live acts. Known for combining microtonal compositions, chaotic stage presence, and a deliberately absurd sense of humour, Angine de Poitrine have spent the past year moving steadily from underground curiosity to international festival fixture.


These new dates prove the success the duo has reached over the last year. What began as a cult experimental project rooted in Québec’s underground scene has steadily evolved into one of the country’s most in-demand live acts, with the group now set to play six Toronto shows across 2026 alone.

Their latest announcement includes a June 26 appearance at Base31 in Picton, three Vancouver performances in August, including a newly added night at Commodore Ballroom, and a newly announced November 5 headline show at History in Toronto. Those dates join an already packed Ontario run that includes performances at RBC Amphitheatre as openers for Jack White, multiple nights at the Mod Club, Hillside Festival, and Ottawa Bluesfest.

Internationally, the duo are currently touring Europe and are set to headline larger venues across the United States through the fall, including multiple nights in Brooklyn and Los Angeles, while maintaining an extensive festival run that stretches from Europe to Japan.

The long-awaited physical editions of their studio albums, Vol. I and Vol. II, are scheduled for release on June 12.
