Alan Doyle with special guest The East Pointers
March 17, 2026, 8:00 PM

Beloved Canadian music icon Alan Doyle, one of the busiest touring artists for more than three
decades, has announced an extensive 42-date tour that will take him across Canada and the U.S.
in the new year. Doyle's “Already Dancing” tour begins February 28 at home in St. John's,
Newfoundland, and is set to wrap May 17 in Edmonds, Washington. Tickets go on sale October
24 at 12pm local time.

Joining Doyle on all Canadian dates is the JUNO-winning PEI folk duo The East Pointers, with
Brooklyn indie-folk-pop-Americana outfit Bandits on the Run set to support the U.S. leg.
Doyle has also announced today the upcoming release of his new EP, Already Dancing, coming
February 20, 2026. The foot-stomping, fiddle-fueled first single “Nancy” featuring The East
Pointers is out today.

Says Doyle: “New Tunes! New Tour! Hitting the road in the new year with The Beautiful
Beautiful Band as we take the ‘Already Dancing Tour' around North America. Come sing some
new ones and all the favs with us, with special guests The East Pointers in Canada and Bandits
on the Run in the U.S. It's Gonna Be a Time!”

Doyle is currently starring in the musical Tell Tale Harbour, playing at Toronto's Royal Alexandra
Theatre until November 2. Based on the screenplay “The Grand Seduction” by Ken Scott, and
co-written by Doyle, Tell Tale Harbour made its Toronto debut in September after a smash-hit
sell-out run at Confederation Centre of the Arts in Charlottetown, PEI.

On November 4, Doyle will release his fourth book, “The Smiling Land: All Around the Circle in
My Newfoundland and Labrador,” a rollicking insider's guide to the province, told as only Doyle
can tell it. Few Canadian musicians are as synonymous with their home province as Doyle is to
his – and even fewer once worked as tour guides. In “The Smiling Land,” he reprises his tour-
guiding role to welcome the rest of Canada to his home and take readers on an adventure: a
freewheeling road trip through Newfoundland, its history and its culture.

ABOUT ALAN DOYLE:
Alan Doyle is a multifaceted singer-songwriter, going on three decades strong as a musician –
first as a member of the much-celebrated band Great Big Sea and now as an internationally
acclaimed solo artist. His CV is extensive — he is a published author of four books, a film and TV
actor-producer with multiple major credits, and star and co-writer of the musical Tell Tale
Harbour. Yet the wildly popular musician from Petty Harbour, Newfoundland, remains most
electrifying before a live audience, abetted by his ace band. "I am the luckiest guy in the world,"
Doyle says. "It's such a privilege to stand among those players on stage."
