  • Our Lady Peace, I Mother Earth to play Kelowna in October

    Kelowna is going to party like it's 1999 this October.

    Two of Canada's most popular and best-selling bands, Our Lady Peace and I Mother Earth featuring Edwin, will stop in at Prospera Place on Oct. 16 as part of their cross-Canada tour. Tickets will go on sale Friday, June 24, at 10 a.m.

    Having toured together in the mid-90s for their breakthrough albums, Naveed (OLP) and Dig (IME), both bands said they are excited to reunite 20 years later.

    “We've always had immense respect for IME,” Our Lady Peace frontman Raine Maida said. “From their very first album, Dig, to the tour that followed and the Edgefests after that they solidified themselves as a seminal Canadian rock band. To share the stage again is exciting both for our common fans and selfishly for us as well.”

     

    “We're really excited to be going back out on the road with our friends in OLP," added I Mother Earth drummer Christian Tanna. “This is something we discussed last year at a show we played together…that it felt 'right.'”

    Over their 25-year career, Our Lady Peace, consisting of Raine Maida, Duncan Coutts and Steve Mazur, has become one of Canada’s best-known and best-selling bands. They’ve amassed four Juno Awards and 10 Much Music Video Awards. Their second album, Clumsy, sold more than a million units in Canada, the only alt-rock album in Canadian history ever to reach that level.

    Brothers Christian and Jagori Tanna met vocalist Edwin in the early '90s, spawning one of Canada’s most critically acclaimed bands. I Mother Earth ended an eight-year hiatus in 2012 with two sold out shows at Toronto’s Sound Academy, and in 2016 announced the return of original vocalist Edwin, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the band’s benchmark album Scenery and Fish.
