There is also a ‘MegaBytes’ option, which is complimentary, and those tickets and VIP packages are available on Wednesday, February 12 at 10 am local time.

“This is going to be a fantastic last summer on earth,” says 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 2025 Tour 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, ON, and many more. With the tour finale taking place on August 2 at Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, MI, 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 #1 in the U.S., Top 20 singles like “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 have 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 2025 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 to 28, and Pop hitmakers Sugar Ray as direct support from July 8 to August 2, and Fastball on all shows, the Last Summer On Earth 2025 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.

ABOUT BARENAKED LADIES:
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.

ABOUT GUSTER:
Throughout their three-decade-long career, Guster has landed a series of hits on the Billboard charts, worked with luminaries like Steve Lillywhite and Richard Swift, launched their own music festival, and amassed an ardent fanbase partly on the strength of their relentless touring and deeply communal live show. But despite reaching a milestone few musical acts ever come close to attaining, Guster’s latest LP Ooh La La reveals a band fully in touch with the voracious creative energy that first fueled their music back when they got their start playing in dorm rooms at Tufts University. A major leap forward for Guster, Ooh La La ultimately matches that wide-eyed spirit with a newly heightened sense of confidence and commitment to the raw sincerity that’s made them so beloved.

ABOUT SUGAR RAY:
Beyond sales of 10 MILLION records, four Top 10 songs, over a BILLION streams, and MILLIONS of tickets sold, Sugar Ray — co-founded by Mark McGrath (vocals) and Rodney Sheppard (lead guitar) — embody the endless summer of popular music and culture. How many artists still pack amphitheaters a whole generation removed from their genesis? How many acts can claim sharing the stage with The Rolling Stones, KISS, and Sex Pistols, collaborating with Run-DMC, and being interpolated by Post Malone? After 1994’s Lemonade & Brownies earned cult-classic status for its frenetic and unpredictable hybrid, the band returned with the double-platinum FLOORED in 1997 and soon became a household name thanks to its immortal lead single “Fly” (feat. Super Cat). With their catalog also including the triple-platinum 14:59, Sugar Ray dropped their seventh full-length, Little Yachty, in 2019, with NPR hailing the album’s “signature uplifting and airy rock sound.” No matter how much everything changes, we’ve got Sugar Ray forever.

ABOUT FASTBALL
Fastball is an Alternative Rock band, best known as the platinum-selling, GRAMMY-nominated trio from Austin, Texas. From their earliest hit songs, “The Way” and “Out of My Head,” through the years Fastball has continually honed its voice and sound, which has further evolved on its latest, critically acclaimed album, Sonic Ranch. Powered by the exuberant first single and video “Rather Be Me Than You,” following the album release, the band rolled out a music video for their newest single and album track, “Hummingbird.”  Fastball has toured extensively throughout 2024 performing before sell-out crowds of loyal fans who have supported the band for over 30 years, as well as an audience of new, young fans just discovering them.
