Toque Brings Canadian Rock Thunder to the Whisky a Go Go

By Jason •
Arena legends Toque are set to unleash their hard-hitting sound on the Sunset Strip in 2027.

Prepare yourselves, metalheads! Toque, the powerhouse rock ensemble with a pedigree forged in the fires of arena stages around the globe, is gearing up to headline the legendary Whisky a Go Go on February 11, 2027. Hailing from the frostbitten heart of Canada, these sonic warriors now split their time between the bright lights of Los Angeles and the neon glow of Las Vegas. This show marks a significant chapter in their journey, gracing one of rock's most iconic venues that has hosted the likes of The Doors since its inception in 1964.

With new original music in tow, Toque arrives armed with their latest single, “This Isn’t Over,” already igniting the digital airwaves. The band’s lineup boasts heavy hitters: Todd Kerns and Brent Fitz, the dynamic duo who keep the beat and melody alive in Slash ft. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators, are joined by the versatile Cory Churko and the drumming powerhouse Shane Gaalaas, whose resumes read like a who’s who of rock royalty.

Toque’s story began in 2012 during a charity show in Winnipeg, and they’ve since carved a niche in the rock landscape with their unique blend of original material and classic covers. Their 2016 release, Give’r, celebrated Canadian rock anthems, while their 2019 follow-up, Never Enough, introduced the world to their original sound. Tracks like “Never Enough For You” have become staples at their high-energy shows, and their latest offerings, including “Broken” and “Fighters,” showcase an evolution that firmly places them in the modern rock arena.

Before they take the stage on the Sunset Strip, Toque will embark on their annual winter tour, bringing their electrifying performance to fans in Saskatoon, Regina, Edmonton, and Winnipeg. With a setlist that melds timeless classics from legends like Loverboy and Rush with their own hard-hitting originals, they’re poised to remind everyone why they’ve earned their place among rock’s elite. So, mark your calendars and secure your tickets for a night that promises to be nothing short of legendary!
