Dan Mangan has announced A Special Evening with Dan Mangan, two solo headline concerts at Vancouver's Orpheum Theatre on April 10, 2027, and Toronto's Massey Hall on April 17, 2027. The BC singer-songwriter calls them the biggest solo shows of his career, and tickets go on general sale this Friday, November 6, starting at 10 a.m. in each city's local time via Ticketmaster.

What makes these shows different?

Mangan is performing without his band in the two largest halls he has headlined alone. In a Substack post, he described them as the biggest rooms he has played and promised songs drawn from across his catalogue, surprise cameos and what he called "epic reveals." He also said a way to formally request songs is coming.

A presale opened on November 4 with the password 20YEARS. No support acts have been announced for either date, according to reports first published by Exclaim!.

A fall run comes first

The spring dates cap a stretch of smaller rooms. Mangan plays ArtSpring Theatre on Salt Spring Island on November 4, then Church of the Gesù in Montreal (November 13), L'Anti in Quebec City (November 14), The Spire in Kingston (November 16), Aeolian Hall in London, Ont. (November 17) and Meaford Hall (November 18). A Quadra Island date at the Quadra Community Centre follows on March 20, 2027.

Why you should go

  • Two landmark Canadian rooms. Massey Hall and the Orpheum are among the country's best-known concert halls, and these are his first solo headline dates in either at this scale.
  • A career-spanning set. He says the nights will draw on songs from across his catalogue rather than a single album.
  • A charitable add-on. A dollar from every ticket sold goes to Canuck Place Children's Hospice in Vancouver or Emily's House in Toronto.
  • Something extra. Cameos and reveals have been teased, though the details have not been disclosed.
  • A smaller-venue alternative. Fans who prefer intimate rooms can catch the November and March dates before the big halls.
