Styx

Styx play the Scotiabank Centre on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, with Billy Raffoul opening the bill. It's a mid-week date in the heart of the city, at 1800 Argyle Street.

They're still recording, which is something to keep in mind if you've mostly known them for the older stuff. Their latest, Circling From Above, is their 18th studio album and their third in eight years. It's a 13-track, 41-minute record that they describe as navigating the human experience through the intersecting lenses of technology and nature. It builds on the creative momentum of their two previous releases, The Mission (2017) and Crash of the Crown (2021), so it's part of a fairly steady run of new material rather than a one-off.

They've spent the last decade as AOR torchbearers, and that's the space they're working in here. With Circling From Above as their most recent outing, the set will draw from that new material alongside the earlier records that put them on the map. Billy Raffoul takes the opening slot, so there's a full bill before the main act.

The show starts at 7:30 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Tickets start at C$54.50 plus fees, with an additional C$4 fee per order. That puts the entry point around C$58.50 before any other taxes or charges come in.
