Toque Returns to Toronto: Rock 'n' Roll Revival at the Horseshoe Tavern

In the heart of Toronto, the legendary Horseshoe Tavern is set to ignite once more as Toque, the high-octane rock ensemble, gears up for a return performance on February 4, 2027. Just seven weeks after their electrifying set on September 2, 2026, fans are clamoring for another dose of the relentless energy that only Toque can deliver. Tickets go on sale today, October 23, at 10:00 a.m. ET via TicketWeb, and if the last show was any indication, they won't last long.

Toque isn't just another band; they are a collective of seasoned professionals with a pedigree that speaks volumes. Frontman Todd Kerns and drummer Brent Fitz, both mainstays in Slash Ft. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators, are ready to rock the Horseshoe with fresh original material, including their latest single, “This Isn’t Over,” already streaming on all digital platforms. The duo also boasts a connection to Toronto's own Triumph, having joined the hard rock legends for their 50th-anniversary tour last year.

Cory Churko, a guitar wizard with an impressive history that includes stints with Shania Twain and the Eagles, rounds out the lineup along with the powerhouse drummer Shane Gaalaas, known for his work with Japanese rock giants B’z. Together, they form a formidable force that blends classic rock anthems with new hard-hitting tunes, ensuring that every performance is a spectacle.

From their humble beginnings at a charity show in Winnipeg in 2012 to releasing their debut album of rock covers, “Give'r,” in 2016, Toque has steadily built a reputation for delivering high-energy live shows. Their original tracks, such as “Never Enough For You” and the recent singles “Broken” and “Fighters,” have become staples, earning them slots alongside heavyweights like Def Leppard and Joan Jett.

Before they hit the stage in Toronto, Toque will be storming through Saskatoon, Regina, Edmonton, and Winnipeg on their annual winter tour. After the Horseshoe gig, the band will head to the iconic Whisky a Go Go in West Hollywood on February 11, 2027, marking another step in their relentless tour schedule. Rock fans, prepare yourselves; Toque is back, and they’re bringing the thunder!
