WINNIPEG, July 4, 2023 – This August, the legendary all-country rockers Blue Rodeo will travel to Winnipeg, to perform at the Burton Cummings Theatre on Aug. 15. This year marks the 30-year anniversary of the band’s massively successful fifth studio album Five Days in July. Fans can look forward to hearing songs from the six-time platinum classic record, while also enjoying more favourites from over the years. Blue Rodeo will also be joined by special guest vocalist Melissa McClelland for this performance.
“We have a rare opportunity to revisit Five Days In July in its entirety,” says Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy. “This being the record’s 30th birthday, we thought we would do a few special shows and play the record front to back. Should be fun.”
Blue Rodeo Fan Club members can access pre-sale tickets beginning Wednesday, July 5. Additional pre-sales will run throughout the week. The general on sale begins Friday, July 7 at 10 a.m. at www.ticketmaster.ca.

About Blue Rodeo
For close to 30 years now, Blue Rodeo has taken the road less travelled – and succeeded far beyond anyone’s expectations. The band emerged in the early 80s as a countrified rock band in the era of hair metal and glossy pop. Despite sticking out like a sore thumb (or maybe because of it), their single “Try” became omni-present on radio across Canada and set in motion a three-decade-long career of headlining every club, theatre and arena in Canada. In 1993, when grunge rock was squeezing commercial rock off the radio, they recorded their most acoustic album, Five Days In July, and scored their biggest hit selling over a half million copies of that one record alone.
Now, with their 16th Warner Music Canada studio album – Many A Mile – Blue Rodeo’s successes are measured in terms that include induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame (2012), receiving a Governor General’s Performing Arts Award (2014) and acknowledgement that the band has steadfastly defined itself by its own terms, and in the years that ensued, sold in excess of four million records.
Reflecting back on three decades of successes and those early Blue Rodeo days, both Jim and Greg are able to fully appreciate where the band sits in the pantheon of music. “Success seemed really real when we were entertaining people at The Horseshoe. That was the top of the heap for us,” Cuddy says. “When you look back, you realize that it has just been this beautiful dream.”
