Alexisonfire and Billy Talent have announced two special co-headline shows in London and Montreal to celebrate the 20th anniversaries of the albums that helped define their careers. The exclusive dates land at London’s OVO Wembley Arena on Wednesday 24 June 2026 and Montreal’s Bell Centre on Friday 17 July 2026.
On both nights, the bands will perform their landmark 2006 records in full: Alexisonfire will play Crisis, while Billy Talent will perform Billy Talent II.
In true co-headline fashion, the bands will alternate closing duties – Alexisonfire will close the London show, and Billy Talent will close in Montreal. Touche Amore will open in London, with Faze opening in Montreal.
Artist presales begin Tuesday 10 February at 10am local time, with general on sale following on Friday 13 February at 10am local time. Tickets are available from theonlybandever.com/
Alexisonfire frontman George Pettit said: “It feels like you blink and all of a sudden your album is almost old enough to drink in the United States. So many incredible memories of making this record… I’m happy we get to relive it this summer with all of you.”
Since emerging in the early 2000s, both bands have grown from Canadian club circuits to arenas and festivals worldwide. For Heavy Metal and post-hardcore fans, these shows promise a full-circle moment – two classic albums, played front-to-back, in two massive rooms.
