More information about The Fugitives tickets

Canadian indie-folk music band The Fugitives make a long-awaited return to the UK this summer with a concert at Alexander's Live, Chester as part of a two-week UK tour to support their new self-titled album. The Vancouver-based band were formed in 2005 and have released seven albums. They've been nominated for a JUNO, as well as seven Canadian Folk Music Awards, including Best Vocal Group, Best Ensemble, and Best Songwriter. Having toured heavily across Canada, the UK and the EU for two decades, they've been awarded the Best Folk Album of the Year by the German Music Critics' Association, performed at Glastonbury and most major folk festivals. They were a 2020 Globe & Mail Top Arts Pick of the Year. The band, who were a huge hit when they played Montgomery on their tour in 2024, bring brilliant musicianship, top-notch songwriting, complex vocal harmonies and a funny, uplifting vibe to their live performances.

Support will be from Ashley Fayth.
