Dear Rouge: Lonesome High Canadian Tour

Hot on the heels of their new album release Lonesome High JUNO Award-winning Canadian alternative-rock duo Dear Rouge is excited to be adding Kamloops as a stop on their 2025 Lonesome High Canadian tour. The tour kicked off on January 31st in the duo’s home province of British Columbia and has made its way across the country including shows in Alberta Saskatchewan and Ontario. Seeing so much excitement from fans with sold out shows across the country they have decided to extend their tour which includes a Kamloops performance at The Night Shift on 5th.

"Our new album Lonesome High was built to be played on stage. There is so much raw human energy on the record and we can’t wait to share that in a live context. It will be so fun to be able to play all these new songs mixed with the old ones."

For over 10 years Dear Rouge has been winning over fans consistently and hitting new career heights. Following their major label debut record 2015’s Black To Gold the couple picked up multiple Top 10 radio hits the 2015 SOCAN Songwriting Prize and the 2016 Juno for Breakthrough Group of the Year. Dear Rouge continued their upward trajectory with their 2018 sophomore album PHASES which included the lead single “Boys and Blondes” and the #1 Alternative Rock hit “Live Through The Night”. Along the way they opened for artists like Phantogram Arkells Our Lady Peace and Lights and also wowed crowds on major festival stages from coast to coast with their energetic and dynamic live performances.

The band has continued to solidify their presence in the Canadian music landscape with their third full length record Spirit released April 8 2022. The record spawned the #1 Alternative Rock hit “Fake Fame” and the album’s title track “Gimme Spirit” broke the Top 10 on Alternative Rock over summer 2022. The band picked up an Indie Award for Group of the Year at Canadian Music Week before a packed summer of festivals that included two high profile shows opening for Vance Joy and a tour supporting Canadian legends Metric. Dear Rouge’s single “Meet Me At The Rio” broke the Top 10 ahead of their headlining Spirit Tour over winter 2022. The Spirit Tour saw sold out shows in St. Catharines Toronto Red Deer and Victoria before the band capped the year with a packed headlining show at the historic Vogue Theatre in their hometown of Vancouver. All the tracks from Spirit along with the band’s previous singles have seen heavy recurrent radio airplay leading to Dear Rouge being the most played Canadian band on alternative radio in 2022.
