Pre-sale tickets are now available for purchase through the band’s website using the password ‘PHARMACIST’, while general ticket sales will open on Friday, December 8 at 10AM local time through Ticketmaster.

The announcement is Alvvays’ first since receiving their first Grammy nomination, namely ‘Best Alternative Music Performance’ for ‘Belinda Says’, a standout cut from their excellent 2022 full-length album, ‘Blue Rev’. The album received a four-star review from NME, and was featured on NME’s ‘50 Best Albums of 2022’ list.

In his review, Will Richards highlighted the holistic improvements the band made on ‘Blue Rev’, stating: “Released after half a decade away, the Canadians’ third album ‘Blue Rev’ is still identifiably Alvvays, but the hooks here are sweeter, the instrumentation brighter, the energy more palpable.”

In an interview with NME following the album’s release, band leader Molly Rankin commented on the arduous journey they took making ‘Blue Rev’ – which involved navigating COVID restrictions, their practice space flooding and Rankin’s hard drive getting stolen – stating: “The only thing I know how to do is just put my head down and keep swinging. That’s how we’ve been from the beginning – just keeping going and pushing through whatever life throws at us.”

Alvvays have spent 2023 touring in support of their third full-length album, with the most recent leg of their tour seeing them perform in Asia and Australia. In addition to their Grammy nod, the band received a nomination at the 2023 Polaris Prize for ‘Blue Rev’, though they did not win the award.

In January, they made their debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, performing their Grammy-nominated track, ‘Belinda Says’.
