Fresh off the release of their new album Free Rein to Passions, the Dirty Nil — the famously uncompromising Ontario rock trio — have announced that they're taking this show on the road. This fall, they'll begin their Canadian touring behind the record with five shows in Ontario and one in Quebec.

"We've missed you," the band said in a press release, currently amid a co-headliner with Daniel Romano's Outfit. "Come experience Free Rein with your favourite power trash boys. Hail hail rock 'n' roll!"

Kicking off on September 29 in London and September 30 in Kitchener, they'll be supported by Teen Mortage and MVLL CRIMES prior to a festival appearance at Cicada Fest in St. Catharines on November 1. Then, Dead Tired will sub in for Teen Mortage, joining the Nil and MVLL CRIMES to play Toronto's Danforth Music Hall on November 5, Ottawa's Bronson Centre on November 6 and Montreal's Cafe Campus on November 7.

Tickets for the Ontario concerts go on sale to the general public on Friday (June 23), with the Montreal show tickets becoming available on Thursday (June 22). Presale tickets for both go live tomorrow (June 21) at 10 a.m. ET with the code "PASSIONS."
