Canadian hardcore punk act Comeback Kid is officially gearing up for a homecoming this fall. The band has officially announced the Canadian leg of their Wake the Dead 20th anniversary tour, after a run across the U.S. and Europe earlier this year.
The newly announced leg is all set to kick off on September 6, 2025, in Toronto. The tour will cover 13 cities across Canada before wrapping up in Vancouver on September 22, 2025.
The tour was originally announced as a one-off hometown show. However, the trek's scope has now expanded coast-to-coast. Fans from all corners of the country now might get a chance to listen the band's acclaimed 2005 album Wake the Dead live.
Tickets go on general sale on Friday, May 2, 2025, at 10 a.m. local time. It is worth noting that an artist presale is already underway, which can be accessed using the code WTD2025.
Comeback Kid shared the announcement of the new Canadian leg of the Walk The Dead 2025 tour on the band's official Instagram page. The post read:
"⚰️ Wake The Dead 2025 ⚰️ across the world and now we are bringing it home 🇨🇦 ARTIST PRESALE: Thursday May 1, 2025 @ 10AM thru 10 PM LOCAL / Password: WTD2025 🚨 ONSALE: Friday May 2, 2025 @ 10AM LOCAL"
They also added the tour dates and venues in the caption.
Lamb Goat reports that in a statement regarding the 2025 tour, Comeback Kid Vocalist Andrew Neufeld mentioned:
"This year we have been taking our Wake The Dead 20th anniversary tour around the world. As promised, we will bring the tour coast to coast across Canada, bringing some friends along the way. We'll have Punitive Damage (VAN) and Prowl (MTL) throughout the tour, with Incendiary (NYC) and The Flatliners (TO) joining us on select shows!"
He continued:
"The US and Europe/UK legs of this tour have been insane so far and it's been such a blast revisiting a lot of these songs from the record that really jump started the career and trajectory for Comeback Kid. The response has been incredible and we can't wait to bring it home."
