On April 24 2026, Joyce Manor took the stage at Toronto’s DANFORTH MUSIC HALL and delivered a masterclass from start to finish. The band, who were originally scheduled for March 26 and had to postpone their show due to lead singer Barry Johnson having a torn vocal chord, returned just under a month later and thanked the crowd for making it to the rescheduled date.
Being their first headlining show since 2022, the band came out swinging with all their hits. They started the night with I Know Where Mark Chen Lives before continuing through the over twenty five song set that included Catalina Fight Song, Heart Tattoo, Constant Headache, and many more that fans were happy to hear.
Coming off the release of their newest album, I Used To Go To This Bar, in January, they played nearly the full album, and were met with great responses from the crowd. Fans crowdsurfed to nearly every song nonstop and didn’t miss a lyric.
Joyce Manor’s tour continues through North America before heading to Europe later in the year. Check out more from the band on their website and Instagram.
