Angine de Poitrine add new Canadian dates to sprawling 2026 tour

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.

Billy Ray Cyrus Reveals He Suffered Temporary Vocal Paralysis After a Near-Fatal Battle With Sepsis

Billy Ray Cyrus has a lot to celebrate with his new album, The Hill, arriving on June 16, but he had other hills to conquer, including a health crisis, before reaching this point. In a new interview, he revealed that he suffered a near-fatal experience with sepsis in 2024. He noted how the health crisis led to a subsequent diagnosis of temporary vocal paralysis.

In his interview with People, Cyrus didn’t disclose too many details about the health scare, but said he was diagnosed with the condition back in 2024 and consequently faced vocal paralysis, describing the bout as a “very broken moment of my life.” He called his bounce-back a “miracle” crediting his grandson Bear (the 5-year-old son of Braison Cyrus) for helping him see the light in a dark time.

“You can’t control me/Unless you owe me/And you don’t own me/Unless I blow you,” White shouts on “Dollar Bill” just after the track launches into an erratic, bluesy guitar solo. The single is the third track to be shared as a preview for the record, following “Derecho Demonico” and “G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs,” both released earlier this year.

Sturgill Simpson’s ‘Got That Hunter Biden Energy’ — and Hunter’s a Fan

Sturgill Simpson’s latest album as Johnny Blue Skies, Mutiny After Midnight, is a disco-fried country rock meditation on all things sex and politics. It offers up the theory that sex is the cure for all that ails us, as individuals and as a society, and does so with genuine sincerity, but also lots of freaky little jokes and one-liners. One of the funniest appears on “Make America Fuk Again,” the album’s opener and thesis statement, in which Simpson drawls, “I’m a sensitive boy when push comes to shove/I got that Hunter Biden energy/I’ll make a hooker fuck around and fall in love.”

The Vatican confirmed the high profile link up the following day, according to The Washington Post, and stated that the pope met the Puerto Rican singer, his family, and other people — offering them a quick greeting at Madrid’s Bernabéu stadium. No photos from the meeting are expected to be released to the public, said the Vatican.
