The Glorious Sons on Tour
Whoever said rock was dead clearly hasn't been to a Glorious Sons show. Over the course of the past decade, the Kingston, Ontario, group has gone from playing Canada's dingiest dive bars to headlining its most hallowed arenas — and when you see the band in action, it's easy to understand why. The band's modernized riff on classic rock has found an intensely loyal, ever-expanding following among people whose idea of a balanced lifestyle is wrapping one hand around a cold beer and raising the other in a permanent fist-pump. On the heels of their 2019 single "Panic Attack," the Sons hit the road with a busy summer itinerary, including a date with The Rolling Stones and appearances at some of Canada's biggest festivals (Ottawa Bluesfest, Osheaga), then hit the stateside club circuit with British rock brats The Struts.
The Glorious Sons in Concert
When you're a no-frills rock band hailing from the Canadian college town of Kingston, Ontario, you must contend with the long shadow cast by your home city's most famous exports, The Tragically Hip. But since 2011, The Glorious Sons have been building a legacy all their own. Since the release of their southern-fried 2013 single "Mama" — the song that introduced the nation to the soulful powerhouse pipes of frontman Brett Emmons — the Sons have taken up residency in the upper reaches of the Canadian rock radio charts and never left. On the back of gritty rockers like "Heavy" and "The Contender," their 2014 debut album The Union earned a Juno nomination for Best Rock Album, an award they would eventually claim with 2017's Young Beauties and Fools. Outfitting the band's old-school bluesy foundation with a more pronounced pop polish, the album's standout working-class anthem "S.O.S. (Sawed Off Shotgun)" showcased the Sons' singular flair for making your darkest days sound like the time of your life.
The Sons never disappoint! They put on an amazing show that took fans into the New Year. It was a perfect mix of their music from over the years. I love that fans range in age from young kids with their parents, to older adults well past their prime. Boston Levi was a great start to the night, but I could have done without Tiny Horse. I’m sure they have a following, just not my genre of music.
3rd time seeing the Sons and they have always put on a great show and play their hearts out .
We had tried several times to see them since 2019 when we saw them in Saranac Lake, NY. Twice the shows were cancelled. We decided to drive from NY to Kingston ON, their hometown. It was worth it. The show was everything I had hoped for, and the town was cute to boot.
They never fail to put on an incredible show. Always know how to keep the crowd engaged and was a great way to start the new year!
Always a fantastic show Always I need 50 characters? Blah blah blah
Glorious Sons always put on an amazing performance with all their hearts into it. This is my third time seeing them, and every show is better than the last. Keep being real!!!
The show was fantastic. The band brought a ton of energy. Even then opener was great. The whole experience was a lot of fun and I would definitely recommend seeing them again next time!
Not only my favorite Canadian band now but also firmly in my Top 3 favorite bands of all time. So much energy. Would fo see them again. A great live band.
Great show, great venue Great choice for an opening act, Followed by the glorious sons absolutely killing it. Second time seeing them and will 100% see them again!
I have loved the glorious sons for the last 4 years and they were just as good, if not better in person!!! The blue stones, who opened for them were also really great too. It was my first rock concert and I loved the energy!
Opening band, the blue stones, was awesome and the glorious sons are fantastic and put on a great show! Centre 200 in Sydney is a great venue small so we were close to the stage. Great selection of songs from different albums and really good sound. Highly recommend this concert!
Love this band. Even better in person. Lead singer has lots of energy and gets the crowd into it
Just a suggestion, I understand floor section is standing only but consider some bar height tables to put drinks on or food ....
I was surprised Canada life Center was empty so many empty seats They deserve to be sold out great musicians sounded fantastic it was my first time seeing them and I’d go again.
Went with a friend! Seats were amazing, opening act were very good!. Overall experience was awesome! Well worth the drive and money 💙
I really enjoyed having the pit close to the stage with separate floor seating. I think the view from anywhere in the pit was good. Last time I saw TGS, the whole floor was GA and it was a lot tougher to get a spot. Loved the show, they played all their hits and they truly love their music and their fans. Their music hits hard. I’m a fan for life. The Blue Stones opening was great too, will have to check out more of their stuff.
The Blue Stones were great. The Glorious Sons were fantastic! Would be great if that venue had some seating and some standing, and guests could choose which to purchase.
Second time I’ve seen them now. They get better and better! An an amazing concert, with phenomenal lyrics and music!
Thought the boys brought the energy all night long. loved the start when they played the classics and the encore closed out the night beautifully.
This was an incredible show! The Blue Stones opened the show and were electric. The Glorious Sons who I wasn’t very familiar with before going were amazing! The place was rocking and I would love to see them again.
