Event Description

Since their formation in Scotland in 1968, Nazareth has released a steady stream of classic hard rock that includes several top ten hits and favourites such as "Love Hurts", "This Flight Tonight" and "Hair of the Dog".

After releasing numerous albums, touring consistently for the last 40 years, and having influenced countless groups, this 2014 world tour marks the start of an exciting chapter in the life of the band with new vocalist and veteran performer Linton Osborne replacing original singer Dan McCafferty, who retired last year due to ill health. The band is reinvigorated and looking forward to touring with an energetic and capable front man again, reporting that Osborne is not only belting out the hits in their original key but has the blessing of McCafferty himself.

Supporting act Headpins—fronted by iconic singer Darby Mills—established themselves as true Canadian rock royalty with the release of their 1982 debut albumTurn It Loud featuring the hit single "Don't It Make Ya Feel". The band continues to blow away packed houses all over Canada and beyond and are known for their energetic on-stage performance. This is their second tour with Nazareth.
