On August 23, Blue Rodeo will take to the stage at one of Toronto’s favourite summertime venues – the Molson Amphitheatre. Last year’s August Amphitheatre show was a highlight for many Blue Rodeo fans and we know that this year’s show will be just as much fun. As always, BlueRodeo.com will be offering a Best Seats presale for this concert. Tickets will go on sale at noon EST on May 15.

As many of you know, Blue Rodeo is currently touring the UK. On Wednesday, May 10, Jim and the two Bobs stopped by the BBC 2 studios and recorded a broadcast of the Bob Harris Show. It will air on May 29 but don’t think that you have to be in Britain in order to hear it. BBC 2 broadcasts all of its programming live over the Internet meaning that Blue Rodeo fans from all across the world will be able to hear the band’s interview.
