Celebrated Canadian roots rock band The Commoners return to the UK in December 2025 for a 10-date headline tour. Special guests are North Devon alt-rock duo Candar. Tickets are available from Planet Rock and Commoners.ca.

To coincide with their December UK tour, The Commoners are pleased to release their brand-new single “Just Watch Me”, out since yesterday, on Friday November 7th. The high-octane rockin’ single is available on all streaming platforms HERE.

“Just Watch Me is the moment you stop apologizing for the weight on your shoulders and lean into it,” says The Commoners’ guitarist Ross Hayes Citrullo. “The main guitar riff feels like a rising charge, before the chorus kicks the doors open, and a jam section that refuses to back down. It’s a statement piece for the stage. We’re looking forward to playing it live on tour.”

The new single is a bold, defiant anthem about ownership, resilience, and stepping into leadership when the moment calls. The lyrics rally against self-doubt – “If you think the crown weighs heavy on me, you ain’t been listening… “I’m making up a task force, the likes you’ve never seen.”

Musically, “Just Watch Me” transitions from reflective verses into a hook-rich chorus before a searing guitar solo, built for big rooms and louder nights.

North Devon alt-rock duo Candar join the tour as special guests, bringing melodic vocals, gritty guitar riffs, and bombastic drums. Fresh from two Glastonbury appearances and a sold-out UK/Ireland run with Bôa in 2024, they’re primed to light up the stage each night.

“The UK has become a second home for us,” says The Commoners’ bassist, Ben Spiller. “Over the last few years, we’ve had the pleasure of rocking dozens of shows over the course of five unforgettable UK tours and festivals.”

The new single and December UK tour follows hot on the heels of the live album The Commoners – Live in the UK. Featuring nine explosive tracks, the live album captures expanded performances from the band’s explosive 2024 UK tour.

Celebrated Canadian Roots Rock band The Commoners return to the UK in December 2025 for 10-date headline tour. Planet Rock’s 48–hour ticket pre-sale starts 10am on Wednesday 9 July. Pre-sale tickets are available from PlanetRock.com.

Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday 11 July from Gigantic.com and Commoners.ca.

“The UK has become a second home for us,” says the Commoners bassist, Ben Spiller. “Over the last few years, we’ve had the pleasure of rocking dozens of shows over the course of five unforgettable UK tours and festivals.

To coincide with the announcement of the December tour, The Commoners release their new single “Too Soon To Know You” available to stream on Spotify and YouTube.

“The new single is a reflection on the fleeting nature of connection, and the bittersweet feeling of having had someone in your life when the timing wasn’t quite right to make the connection last,” says The Commoners drummer, Adam Cannon.

“We wanted to capture that fragile moment when everything feels both urgent and uncertain. Recording it was a real collaborative effort — we tracked live off the floor and layered it with raw vocals and textured guitars and organ to evoke that sense of vulnerability.”

“The song is about the human tendency to cling to what might have been and the hope that, maybe, there’s still a chance to understand each other before it’s too late.”

The news of the new single and December UK tour follows the release of The Commoners – Live in the UK album available on CD and vinyl HERE, and digitally HERE. Featuring nine explosive live tracks to get you on your feet, the live album includes Commoners anthems with added parts, extended sections, performed live on the band’s 2024 UK tour.

Canadian Roots-Rock band The Commoners have released their new album The Commoners – Live in the UK to coincide with their UK and European tour.

Riding high off the strength of their previous releases, Find A Better Way and Restless,  the UK and European tour takes in a four-week tour across five countries, The Commoners: Live In The UK was recorded when the band were on tour in the UK in 2024.Released by Gypsy Soul Records, the album is available on CD and vinyl HERE, and digital HERE.

“The UK has become a second home for us,” says the Commoners bassist, Ben Spiller. “Over the last couple of years, we have had the pleasure of rocking dozens of shows over the course of 4 UK tours. Every time we head back things get bigger and better. On our last run through the UK with The Sheepdogs, we had the idea to record a few of our final shows. The recordings sounded huge, and we immediately knew we had to do something with them.”

Mixed and mastered by The Commoners’ lead guitarist Ross Hayes Citrullo at RHC Music in Toronto, this album features nine tracks from the Find A Better Way and Restless albums, featuring extended intros, outros, solos, and brand new never-before-heard parts of the songs.

“This album means a lot to the band because what you hear is 100% authentically us,” says Citrullo. “It’s the true Commoners live show experience, captured from the perspective of a fan in the crowd. It’s loose, heavy, and full of energy. We were wrapping up a long tour when we recorded this… the band was riding high. You can feel the energy in the room, it’s electric.”

The first single from taken from the live album, “The Way I Am,” is available to stream HERE.
