The show will likely be Winnipeg fans’ first chance to see April Wine’s new lineup, as frontman and founding member Myles Goodwyn retired from touring earlier this year.

The current incarnation of the group includes guitarist Brian Greenway, who joined the band in 1977, as well as rhythm section Richard Lanthier and Roy Nichol, who have each been members for over a decade. New singer/guitarist Marc Parent replaced Goodwyn for live shows in 2023.

Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m.
