Afie Jurvanen, the meticulous songwriter behind the Bahamas moniker, is heading back to the road. This fall, the Industrial Sport & Sound Tour kicks off a massive trek across North America. The announcement comes on the heels of a JUNO Award nomination for Best Adult Alternative Album of the Year, the tenth of his storied career. Jurvanen continues to prove that understated, guitar-driven pop still carries immense cultural weight.
The new record, ‘My Second Last Album’, marks a pivot from the country-tinged textures of 2023’s ‘Bootcut’. Recorded largely in a backyard shed, these tracks trade polished studio sheen for a loose, essential energy that captures Jurvanen in a moment of creative freedom. Lead single “The Bridge” features a collaboration with M.C. Taylor of Hiss Golden Messenger, landing with a relaxed groove that has already secured significant AAA radio support. It is a record that feels lived-in and deeply personal.
This tour represents a significant homecoming and expansion for the five-time JUNO winner. The run begins September 18 in Victoria, moving through major Canadian markets before diving into a heavy US leg. Fans in Minneapolis, Chicago, and Los Angeles will see the show before the tour culminates in high-profile stops like Toronto’s Massey Hall and Austin’s Emo’s East. Jurvanen has built a reputation for live performances that balance sharp humor with technical brilliance.
Tickets are moving fast for these dates. Presales began earlier this week, and the general public sale opens tomorrow, March 13, at 10 am local time. With over a billion streams to his name, Jurvanen has cultivated a global audience that values his specific brand of soulful, indie-pop wit. The Industrial Sport & Sound Tour is a chance to see a songwriter at the peak of his powers, delivering a setlist that bridges his folk roots with modern, rhythmic sophistication.
