Three iconic Canadian rock bands making stop in Penticton this fall

Iconic Canadian rockers The Tea Party, Headstones and Finger Eleven are stopping in Penticton on their cross-country tour.

After decades of crossing paths in the festival scene, this is the first time all three bands have toured together. They’re going to be playing the South Okanagan Events Centre on Nov. 25, according to a press release.

“This tour is a rock lover’s dream come true. Finger Eleven, Headstones and The Tea Party have never toured the country together. Never before has there been an opportunity for us to join musical forces. This tour intends to right this wrong, nay, this massive injustice. I’m beyond excited and can’t wait to see the fans’ reaction to this lineup,” Finger Eleven’s Scott Anderson said in the release.

The Tea Party has been nominated for several Juno Awards and sold millions of albums. The band is best known for its chart-topping album TRIPtych and the song Heaven Coming Down.

Headstones have been together for nearly 40 years, made gold and platinum records and fans probably remember hits like Cemetery and When Stands for Nothing.

Finger Eleven is celebrating 25 years together, the band has won a Juno Awards, toured with Creed and surpassed a billion streams across platforms. Finger Eleven is known for tunes like Paralyzer, One Thing and Whatever Doesn’t Kill Me. 

“What’s coming is a perfect storm of Canadian rock ‘n’ roll — an onslaught of the finest degree. A tour de force. A one-night-only opportunity for every Canadian, coast to coast, to witness the Headstones, The Tea Party, and Finger Eleven,” Headstones frontman Hugh Dillon said in the release.

Tickets go on sale for $49.50 at 10 a.m. this Friday, June 20.
