He’ll be joined by veteran indie act Interpol.

Last year Shane Boose, better known as sombr, had a big year.

His debut album I Barely Know Her, which was released in 2024, hit the charts with a series of singles that made him a global pop star. In Canada “Back to Friends” was the big hit, reaching nine on the Billboard Hot 100, but “Undressed,” “We Never Dated” and “12 to 12” all made an impact.

He’s already released new singles, while a follow-up album appears to be in the works.

Now on his first arena tour in North America, he’s headed to Rogers on Tuesday (Sept. 29).

Joining him on the tour are fellow New Yorkers and longtime indie band Interpol (who’s massive album Antics is one year older than sombr). Opening will be the Hellp, an electro-indie band out of Colorado.

Sombr tickets still available

Some tickets are still available for tonight’s show. The cheapest listed on TicketMaster right now are going for $135.25 plus fees, but there are only a handful of seats listed at that price.

Spots in the pit next to the stage are still available for $250.

Getting to the show

TransLink has maintenance planned for both the Expo Line and Canada Line tonight. In both cases, trains will continue to run, but may be delayed later at night, which may affect those returning home from the concert.

Hullo does have a late-night ferry back to Vancouver Island leaving at 11:59 a.m. from the terminal near Canada Place.

Restrictions

A few things aren’t allowed in Rogers Arena for the show. Notably, some bags won’t be permitted. All bags need to be under 35.5 centimetres by 35.5 cm by 15.2 cm. For reference, 35.5 cm is just a bit more than 13 inches.

Rogers Arena is also a smoke-free zone, as far as cigarettes and cannabis are concerned. The band may have smoke machines.

Other common-sense items, like skateboards, selfie sticks and outside food and drinks, should be left at home.

Cashless venue

Rogers Arena is a cashless venue.

“As a cashless venue, we accept all major digital forms of payment including Debit Cards, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Google Pay and Apple Pay,” reads the venue’s website.

Fan service

Rogers Arena has a fan service number to text if there are any issues during the show: 604-765-3267 (FANS).

Concert-goers can text their issue and their location (their section, row and seat number) to get help.
