Alanis Morissette

Alanis Morissette plays Scarborough Open Air Theatre on 5 July 2026. From her Canadian beginnings to the sharp turn that marked the mid-90s, she shaped a voice between confessional pop and guitar-driven alternative rock. The Los Angeles sessions that led to Jagged Little Pill set the tone: rough-edged guitars, direct hooks, and lyrics that go straight to the point. The following records widened the frame — post-grunge colors on Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie and Under Rug Swept, atmospheric electronics with Guy Sigsworth on Flavors of Entanglement, then a calmer clarity on Havoc and Bright Lights and Such Pretty Forks in the Road, where themes of relationships, motherhood and spirituality take more room.

On stage, Morissette shifts from full-band charge to quieter focus without losing intensity, keeping the voice and the words at the center. This date in Scarborough promises a journey through her catalog, from the 90s foundations to more recent chapters, tracing how her songwriting has evolved while staying anchored in frank storytelling and that unmistakable vocal presence.
