Angine de Poitrine add new Canadian dates to sprawling 2026 tour

The Québec experimental duo will be back in the country this fall following a busy international festival run

Angine de Poitrine add new Canadian dates to sprawling 2026 tour
Angine de Poitrine*

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.

Noah Kahan Slams White House for Using His Song in Trump Promo Video

Noah Kahan has made it clear that he would never approve the use of his music to support the Trump administration.

On Monday, the White House posted a series of Instagram photos depicting President Donald Trump‘s visit to General Motors’ flagship test site in Michigan. During his stop, the president took the opportunity to boast about his controversial tariffs across the auto industry and pumped his fist while watching a drag race. The photo carousel was bizarrely soundtracked to Kahan’s “American Cars,” a song the artist wrote for his sister, Sasha, about how she’s the family’s problem solver.

Inside the Special Edition of the Beatles’ ‘Rubber Soul’​

The Beatles grew up on Rubber Soul. In the fall of 1965, the Fab Four went into the studio as the world’s favorite moptops — but they emerged as bold artists, ready to challenge the world. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr were experimenting with new sounds, weird ideas. They invented the whole idea of the album as we know it today — a full-length statement, rather than a hits collection. “Finally we took over the studio,” as Lennon told Rolling Stone.

Rubber Soul shocked the world as soon as it arrived in December 1965. But it’s never sounded better than it does now, on the long-awaited Special Edition. The new Rubber Soul drops on October 2, from Apple Corps Ltd and UMG. The new editions are available to pre-order here. “Michelle (Take 1)” is available to listen to now.
