The Canadian rockers' Between Us City Takeover tour hits the national capital on Nov. 25, 26 and 27.

Canadian rockers The Arkells have added a trio of shows in Ottawa as part of their 2026 Between Us City Takeover tour, which finds the Juno-winning hitmakers playing three different venues over three consecutive days in each city.

In Ottawa, the concerts take place at 27 Club on Nov. 25, The Bronson on Nov. 26 and History Ottawa on Nov. 27.

Similar strings of concerts are announced for Saskatoon and Winnipeg, while previous legs brought the concept to Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton.

Frontman Max Kerman said in a statement the band wanted a chance to “stretch out and play songs from across our catalogue” and promised that no two shows would be alike. “When you’re in a band, all you can do is try to meet the moment,” he added.

It’s also an opportunity for the arena rockers to revisit clubs they played along the way to stardom. They will be circling back to the scene of one of their first Ottawa shows, for example, when they land at 27 Club, the York Street bar formerly known as Zaphod Beeblebrox.

The Hamilton-born band’s trajectory in the nation’s capital also saw them stop at fondly remembered hotspots like Barrymore’s Music Hall and the Capital Music Hall before ascending to arena and festival stages.

Tickets for the three Ottawa dates in November were scheduled to go on sale Sept. 18, with pre-sale information available through the band’s website: arkellsmusic.com.
