On Wednesday, Swedish melodic death metal band Arch Enemy, fronted since February by new vocalist Lauren Hart, share MacEwan Hall with Michigan's The Black Dahlia Murder.

The Backspin HQ Picks
Wolf Parade, Tuesday, November 10 at The Palace Theatre. Formed in Montreal in 2003 and signed to Sub Pop, Wolf Parade are Spencer Krug, Dan Boeckner and Arlen Thompson, with Tim Kingsbury touring with the band since 2025. Their 2005 debut, Apologies to the Queen Mary, found a new audience in December 2025 when 'I'll Believe in Anything' went viral after its use in Heated Rivalry. Their latest studio album is still 2020's Thin Mind, and the band have been recording new material between tours. Calgary is the first stop of a western Canadian swing on the fall dates Sub Pop announced, followed by Edmonton on November 11 and two nights at Vancouver's The Pearl. Destroyer, Bejar's project since 1995 and the band behind Kaputt, complete a bill of two long-running Canadian indie acts. Doors are at 7 p.m. and the show is 18+.
Arch Enemy and The Black Dahlia Murder, Wednesday, November 11 at MacEwan Hall. Arch Enemy came out of Halmstad, Sweden, and broke wider with 1998's Stigmata before Angela Gossow's arrival on 2001's Wages of Sin. Their most recent album is 2025's Blood Dynasty, and in February 2026 the band named Lauren Hart as lead vocalist alongside the single 'To the Last Breath'. The Black Dahlia Murder, from Waterford, Michigan, are touring 2024's Servitude, their 10th full-length and the first with guitarist Brian Eschbach on lead vocals. Greece's symphonic death metal veterans Septicflesh, Crypta and Thrown Into Exile fill out the University of Calgary bill.
The Bros. Landreth, Saturday, November 14 at Bella Concert Hall. Brothers Dave and Joey Landreth won the JUNO for Roots and Traditional Album of the Year: Group with their debut, Let It Lie, and Bonnie Raitt's cover of their song 'Made Up Mind' later won a Grammy, with the brothers credited as songwriters. Dog Ear, their fourth full-length, came out on November 14, 2025, recorded with drummer Roman Clarke and producer Murray Pulver, and features guests including Raitt and Begonia. The Calgary date on the Tumbling Wild Tour is presented with the Calgary Folk Music Festival at Mount Royal University, and singer-songwriter Madeleine Roger opens.
Boy Golden, Thursday, November 12 and Friday, November 13 at Modern Love. Boy Golden is Liam Duncan, raised in Brandon and based in Winnipeg, who bills himself as the founder of The Church of Better Daze, the name of his 2021 album. His lead single 'Suffer' reached No. 1 on Billboard Canada's Modern Rock chart in December 2025, ahead of the February 2026 album Best of Our Possible Lives on Sixshooter Records. Both Modern Love nights run under the Good Goddamn Another Tour banner with Field Guide, a 7 p.m. show on Thursday and an early 5 p.m. show on Friday, and both are 18+.
