Toronto SOLD OUT!

Our show at Massey Hall on October 20th sold out in 15 minutes! Thank you for the support Toronto! This will be our first time performing at Massey Hall, but in light of this overwhelming support, it may not be our last! Check back next week for an update.

SOLD OUT Canadian presale

Thanks to everyone who took advantage of our ticket presale! The great news is that in most cities the tickets sold out in under one minute. Wow!

AMEX ran a presale that sold out quickly as well. They accidentally ran the sale a day early, so we want to reassure those who purchased presale tickets from us via ilovemetrictickets.com that you still have the best seats in the house as promised!

If you missed the presale, the public sale starts today. Hope to see you all out there!
