Canadian rock legends Blue Rodeo are set to return to Newfoundland and Labrador this winter, booking a performance at Mile One Centre in St. John’s, Feb. 16.  Tickets go on sale this Friday, Nov. 16 at 10am.

When fans lined Toronto’s Queen Street to get into clubs where Blue Rodeo was performing in the mid-1980s, the band felt as though they had achieved success. And, in fact, they had. But that success has grown exponentially through the ensuing three decades since they formed, and by staying authentic and true to themselves, Canada continues its enduring love affair with Blue Rodeo.

Reflecting back on three decades of successes and those early Blue Rodeo days, the band fully appreciates how fortunate they are. Jim Cuddy shares, “When you look back, you realize that it has just been this beautiful dream.”

In the thirty years since forming, Blue Rodeo has sold over four million albums, won countless Juno awards, been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, received a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame, been named to the Order of Canada and have been honoured with the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award.

Blue Rodeo is: Jim Cuddy (vocals/guitar), Greg Keelor (vocals/guitar), Bazil Donovan (bass), Glenn Milchem (drums/vocals), Colin Cripps (guitar/vocals) and Mike Boguski (keyboards).

Tickets for the St. John’s show range in price from $49.20 – $72.20 (including tax and applicable surcharge) and will be available at the Mile One Centre Box Office (50 New Gower St.), by calling (709) 576-7657 and online at mileonecentre.com, evenko.ca and livenation.com.
