The exciting 2017 Concert Calendar is continuing to grow. Billy Talent will perform in Moncton on March 5th at Casino New Brunswick and March 6th at the Scotiabank Centre in Halifax.
Very special guests Monster Truck and The Dirty Nil will join the band for both dates.
“Billy Talent are touring in support of Afraid of Heights, their new studio album. The album, their first in five years, topped the Canadian Neilsen Soundscan Top Albums chart upon its release in late July, marking the fourth consecutive #1 album for the group. In addition to the domestic success, Afraid of Heights also debuted in the top spot in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. What’s more, the lead single “Afraid of Heights” also reached #1 on Canadian Rock Radio, joining “Rusted from the Rain,” Stand up and Run,” and “Surprise Surprise” as chart topping hits for the band.” organizers said in a Monday release.
