The Pretty Reckless - Dear God Tour

The Pretty Reckless brings the Dear God Tour to The Palace Theatre in Calgary on August 12, 2026. Formed in New York in the late 2000s, the band centers on Taylor Momsen’s grainy voice and a guitar-driven sound that blends hard rock, post-grunge and classic rock tones. With Ben Phillips on guitar, Mark Damon on bass and Jamie Perkins on drums, the quartet balances heavy riffs, straight-to-the-point hooks and lyrics that orbit faith, desire and disillusion.

On stage, the set threads early cuts from Light Me Up with the punch of Going to Hell and Who You Selling For, then shifts into the more introspective edges of Death by Rock and Roll. Riffs dig in, tempos swing from stomp to slow burn, and choruses land clean. Momsen holds the front line, moving from low growl to open-throated release, while the band keeps things tight and unadorned, more groove than gloss. The night traces their path from youthful bite to a raw, blues-tinted rock, with detours into the shadows where these songs took shape.
