Here are the celebrities coming to Calgary and Edmonton in October and where you can see them.
Guns N' Roses
American rock band Guns N' Roses will be heading to Edmonton for a show on October 19.
The band was supposed to end its North America 2023 Tour in Vancouver, but recently announced they would be extending it with another four shows. Luckily for Albertans, that includes a performance at Rogers Place.
According to the Edmonton Journal, the rock group hasn't been in the city since a show at Commonwealth Stadium in 2017 so it's been long overdue.
Guns N' Roses recently released new music as well with a new single titled "Perhaps" they dropped in August.
Tyler Hubbard
Country music singer Tyler Hubbard, who once made up one-half of the band Florida Georgia Line, will be performing in both Edmonton and Calgary in October.
The musician's first stop in Alberta will be in Calgary on October 13 at MacEwan Hall. He'll then head to Edmonton to perform at the Midway Music Hall the following night.
Hubbard's current tour is his first headlining tour of Canada, as per iHeartRadio. Back in 2022, Florida Georgia Line, made up of Hubbard and Brian Kelly announced they were splitting up. Hubbard has since released a self-titled solo album in January. Kelly is also pursuing a solo music career.
Billy Talent
Canadian rockers Billy Talent are currently on a world tour and will be celebrating Halloween in Alberta in late October.
