Concertgoers can expect an evening packed with hit songs, nostalgic moments and crowd favourites as the pair brings their extensive catalogues to Toronto for back-to-back performances.
The co-headlining tour taps into the ongoing popularity of nostalgia concerts, bringing together two artists whose hits dominated radio, clubs and playlists throughout the 2000s and early 2010s.
