Donovan Woods is gearing up to drop his new album, Things Were Never Good If They're Not Good Now, in July, and has now announced a string of North American tour dates to follow. He'll perform in 12 Canadian cities across five provinces this fall.
UPDATE (10/23, 12:29 p.m. ET): Woods has now announced the cancellation of select shows on his tour, as he needs to undergo surgery. Canadian concerts in Huntsville, Peterborough, Ottawa and Montreal have been impacted, but the artist said the dates are "actively being rescheduled."
He likewise added he will still be able to make his other Ontario concerts in Kitchener and Toronto this December. See the updated itinerary below.
After some additional spring North American and Australian shows — as well as festival appearances at the likes of Mariposa Folk this summer — Woods will hit the road starting October 3 in Victoria. He'll perform additional BC shows in Vancouver (October 5) and Kelowna (October 6) ahead of moving on to a pair of Albertan stops in Edmonton (October 8) and Calgary (October 9).
After playing Winnipeg (October 11) and making a brief careen into the US, the singer-songwriter has the first three of five home-province gigs in Huntsville (October 24), Peterborough (October 25) and Ottawa (October 26). Woods plays a single Quebec show in Montreal on October 29 before returning stateside for a five-show run. The tour wraps back in Ontario with a couple of concerts in Kitchener (December 4) and Toronto (December 5).
Tickets go on sale this Friday (May 10) at 10 a.m. local time, and fans can sign up here for presale access. See the whole itinerary below, as well as the lyric video for the latest album preview, "Back for the Funeral."
