The Backspin HQ Perspective
Rogers Arena has been a milestone room for Dermot Kennedy. In 2022 he played it as Shawn Mendes' opener, and less than a year later he came back to headline it, launching the Sonder Tour there in May 2023. We were there that night, as he moved between stories and songs like "Power Over Me," "Outnumbered" and "Giants," before the crowd carried the encore of "After Rain." Ending The Weight of the Woods Tour back in that same arena would have been a fitting close, and we hope the rescheduled date lands soon.
