Press Release

Multi-Platinum-selling rock band Barenaked Ladies announce the return of their legendary “Last Summer On Earth” 2025 tour. Kicking off in June, the 38-date headline run will bring the globally beloved band’s powerhouse live show to major venues across North America. As part of the tour’s stacked lineup, Guster and Sugar Ray are also joining as direct support in June and July respectively, and all dates will feature alt-rock heavy-hitters Fastball. Watch the tour announce here.

“Last Summer On Earth” visits the Outer Harbor Live at Terminal B in Buffalo on July 26, with support from Sugar Ray and Fastball.

The public on-sale for the “Last Summer On Earth” 2025 tour began today. VIP silver packages for Barenaked Ladies are available and include premium seats and merch packages. The gold packages will also include preshow soundcheck parties, a meet-and-greet and a photo opportunity with the band.

Barenaked Bytes, the official Barenaked Ladies app, just relaunched its premium membership program. Fans who purchase the “GygaBytes” membership received first access to tickets and VIP packages.

“This is going to be a fantastic last summer on earth,” said Ed Robertson of Barenaked Ladies. “A great night, chock-full of hits! We’ve got our old pals Guster out with us once again, the amazing Sugar Ray joining mid-summer, and our good friends Fastball on the whole tour. If we’re not coming to a city near you, then you should be coming to a city near us!”

Beginning on June 3 at Atlanta’s Cadence Bank Amphitheatre at Chastain Park, the eighth edition of the “Last Summer On Earth” will include stops at famed venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, The Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York City, The Chicago Theater in Chicago and a hometown show at Budweiser Stage in Toronto. With the tour finale taking place on Aug. 2 at Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan, each show will find the eight-time JUNO winners tearing through a jam-packed setlist of all-time fan favorites and radio-dominating smash hits, including “One Week” which skyrocketed to No. 1 in the U.S., Top 20 singles “Pinch Me,” and “If I Had $1,000,000,” and arguably one of their best-known songs, “Big Bang Theory Theme.” The TV show is one of the top scripted comedy shows of all time and is still streamed in over 70 countries worldwide, more than a decade after its final episode aired.

Known for creating a near-magical connection with their audience, Barenaked Ladies founded the “Last Summer On Earth Tour” in 2012 – the same year the Mayan calendar predicted the end of the world. Thanks to their deep commitment to delivering an unforgettable live show, the two-time Grammy-nominated band has earned massive praise from the likes of Billboard (“Barenaked Ladies’ energy was contagious and set the stage for what would be a high-energy evening of sing-alongs and throwback hits”), Forbes (“[Barenaked Ladies are] known for a freestyle, go-where-the-music-takes-you approach in their live shows they tend to enjoy as much as the fans”), and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (“The big hits still hit big”). 

Barenaked Ladies is proud to continue to partner with REVERB for “Last Summer On Earth” to make the tour more sustainable. Since 2004, Barenaked Ladies has worked with REVERB to reduce the environmental impact of touring while also giving back to local communities across the U.S. and Canada.

With alt-rock mainstays Guster returning for the second time to the bill from June 3-28, and Pop hitmakers Sugar Ray as direct support from July 8 to Aug. 2, and Fastball on all shows, the “Last Summer On Earth” tour is sure to be a must-see from start to finish.

Over the years, the “Last Summer On Earth” has previously included support from some of Barenaked Ladies’ most esteemed musical peers, including Cracker, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, Blues Traveler, Ben Folds Five, Violent Femmes, Colin Hay, OMD, Howard Jones, Better Than Ezra, KT Tunstall, Semisonic, Five for Fighting and Del Amitri.

Over the course of 37 years, the beloved quartet has sold over 15 million records worldwide and built up an arsenal of hits such as “If I Had $1,000,000,” “One Week,” “Pinch Me” and “The Big Bang Theory Theme.” Widely acknowledged as one of the best live acts on the planet, BNL has hosted a cruise, had their own Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor, and participated in the first-ever “space-to-earth musical collaboration” with astronaut Chris Hadfield. To date, BNL has amassed eight JUNO Awards, garnered two Grammy nominations, and was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

BNL’s 18th studio album, “In Flight” was released in 2023 and features 14 brand-new studio recordings. It’s available everywhere you stream music.
