April Wine

April Wine roll into Moncton on March 6, 2026 at the Molson Canadian Centre. Formed in Halifax in 1969 before settling in Montreal, the band shaped a melodic strain of Canadian hard rock that moves between radio-friendly hooks, harmonized guitars and straight-ahead riffs. Early albums like April Wine, On Record and Electric Jewels laid the groundwork, tightened on Stand Back and First Glance as constant touring set the tone. The early 80s brought The Nature of the Beast and Power Play, with tracks that still anchor their shows: I Like to Rock, Just Between You and Me, Sign of the Gypsy Queen. After a pause, the 90s return with Attitude and Frigate kept the catalog evolving, while the stage remained the band’s home turf. In Moncton, expect a set that traces that long arc, balancing riff-heavy cuts and slower songs built for big choruses, played with the focus on guitars, vocals and the kind of songwriting that has stayed on Canadian rock radio for decades.
