Train & Barenaked Ladies with Matt Nathanson
Multi-GRAMMY Award-winning, diamond-selling band Train is gearing up for a massive 2026 with the announcement of a brand-new North American summer headline tour. Produced by Live Nation, the Drops of Jupiter: 25 Years in The Atmosphere Tour will stop in Toronto, ON on August 4 at RBC Amphitheatre for a co-headlining performance with multi-platinum-selling rock band Barenaked Ladies and support from Matt Nathanson.
The summer tour will bring fans an epic night of music filled with Train’s most iconic, chart-topping hits including RIAA diamond-certified, #1 best-selling smash “Hey, Soul Sister,” double-GRAMMY-winning iconic track “Drops of Jupiter,” 5x platinum-certified anthem “Drive By,” and many more from their critically acclaimed catalog spanning three decades. The shows will also find eight-time JUNO winners, Barenaked Ladies, tearing through a jam-packed setlist of all-time fan favorites and radio-dominating smash hits, including “One Week” which skyrocketed to #1 in the U.S., Top 20 singles like “Pinch Me,” and “If I Had $1,000,000,” and arguably one of their best known songs, “Big Bang Theory Theme.”
To celebrate the tour announcement, actor and comedian George Lopez recorded a special video message with Train frontman Pat Monahan, which debuted exclusively on USA TODAY alongside the news of the tour – watch here.
With more than 10 million albums and 30 million tracks sold worldwide, 14 songs on Billboard’s Hot 100, and 13 albums on the Billboard 200, Train is marking yet another milestone in 2026, as they celebrate 25 years of their iconic, career-defining album Drops of Jupiter. Originally released in 2001, the album’s double-GRAMMY Award-winning title track is continuing to reach new heights, achieving rare RIAA diamond status and recently named by Rolling Stone as one of the 250 Greatest Songs of the 21st Century So Far, who proclaimed the song “has taken its place as a true standard, the closest this era has gotten to a ‘Don’t Stop Believin’’ or ‘Africa’ of its own” and declared: “it’s the music equivalent of the best soy latte that you ever had.”
To coincide with the anniversary, Train is set to release new music this spring. The band will celebrate their tour announcement and kick off the milestone anniversary in NYC this week with very special performances at the TODAY Show on Wednesday and LIVE with Kelly and Mark on Thursday.

Additionally, after an incredible run on tour with Train last summer, Butch Walker, singer-songwriter, mega-producer, and longtime collaborator (Save Me, San Francisco, California 37, Bulletproof Picasso, AM Gold) has been announced as the newest member of the diamond-selling band. Over the last three decades, Walker has achieved massive success both as a solo artist and in bands (Marvelous 3), while also cultivating a reputation as an in-demand producer by working and collaborating with high-profile artists including Taylor Swift, Avril Lavigne, P!nk, Katy Perry, Fall Out Boy, Green Day, and more.
Thanks to Barenaked Ladies’ deep commitment to delivering an unforgettable live show, the two-time GRAMMY-nominated band have earned massive praise from the likes of Billboard (“Barenaked Ladies’ energy was contagious and set the stage for what would be a high-energy evening of sing-alongs and throwback hits”), Forbes (“[Barenaked Ladies are] known for a freestyle, go-where-the-music-takes-you approach in their live shows they tend to enjoy as much as the fans”), and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (“The big hits still hit big”).

Train’s climb to the top began in San Francisco, as the original 5-member band tenaciously built a loyal hometown following, leading up to their debut self-titled album released by Columbia in 1998. The tumbling wordplay of “Meet Virginia” gave them their first unlikely radio hit, and 2001’s career-defining album Drops of Jupiter broke them to multi-platinum status.

For over three decades, Train has been captivating audiences around the world, earning global recognition with their signature blend of rock and pop, infectious melodies, and heartfelt lyrics. The band’s dynamic touring history includes headline amphitheater and arena runs across North America and beyond, as well as the launch of their Sail Across the Sun Cruise, an annual at-sea music festival that has become a cornerstone fan experience. With an extraordinary career that includes three GRAMMY Awards, two Billboard Music Awards, multiple diamond/platinum/gold citations, and dozens of other honors, Train continues to reach new milestones, boasting two tracks, “Hey, Soul Sister” and “Drops of Jupiter,” that have reached RIAA Diamond status and surpassed one billion streams on Spotify.
