April Wine

April Wine plays London Music Hall on February 22, 2026. The Canadian rock band formed in 1969 in Halifax before settling in Montreal, shaping a sound that blends melodic hard rock, FM-ready hooks and electric ballads, long defined by harmonized guitars and songs built for the stage. Early releases like April Wine (1971), On Record (1972) and Electric Jewels (1973) set the tone, followed by Stand Back (1975) and First Glance (1978) as touring across North America became part of the group’s routine.

The early 80s brought The Nature of the Beast (1981) and Power Play (1982), with tracks that still anchor their set: Just Between You and Me, I Like to Rock and Sign of the Gypsy Queen. Later albums such as Attitude (1993) and Frigate (1994) kept the catalogue moving while the band focused on the road, performing with a lineup that has evolved over time around a core rock approach.

Expect a night that moves between riff-driven cuts and slower, tightly arranged songs, drawing on five decades of material. See April Wine at London Music Hall, 182 Dundas Street, London.
