Alan Doyle on Tour
In 2019, Alan Doyle released the single "We Don't Wanna Go Home," a duet with B.C. country star Dean Brody. It's a title that perfectly sums up Doyle's career on the road. As frontman for Canadian roots-rock institution Great Big Sea, he spread the beery good cheer from coast to coast and beyond for the better part of 20 years, and since that band's dissolution in 2013, he's continued to live up to his well-earned road-warrior reputation as a solo artist. Backed by his reliable support crew The Beautiful Beautiful Band, Doyle delivers a healthy serving of Great Big Sea classics and selections from his three solo albums to date: Boy On Bridge (2012), So Let's Go (2015) and A Week at the Warehouse (2017). An Alan Doyle show is both an occasion to have a good time and to support a good cause — he's known to donate proceeds from ticket sales to mental-health and addiction-treatment organizations.
Alan Doyle in Concert
As a singer/guitarist for the rambunctious roots combo Great Big Sea, Alan Doyle helped transform the Newfoundland band from regional pub phenomenon into one of Canada's most successful and celebrated bands. Between their 1993 formation and 2013 dissolution, the group racked up seven Top 10 placements and 11 Juno Award nominations. And since launching his solo career with 2012's Boy on Bridge, he hasn't relented in his lifelong mission to deliver joyously anthemic, pint-sloshing, Celtic-kissed singalongs. But Doyle's musical pursuits have run parallel to an eclectic acting career that includes credits in such films as Winter's Tale and Ridley Scott's Robin Hood. (Fittingly, he's developed an ongoing creative partnership with another singing actor, Russell Crowe, who invited Doyle to write for his 2005 album, My Hand, My Heart, leading to a full-album collaboration between the two, The Crowe/Doyle Songbook, Vol. III, in 2011.) Doyle's myriad achievements earned him entry into the Order of Canada in 2017, and he's reflected upon his charmed life in two bestselling memoirs, Where I Belong (2014) and A Newfoundlander in Canada (2018).

Had the best time at the Alan Doyle concert! Hoping that the East Coast Kitchen Party will become an annual event at the Budweiser Stage!
Great sound, great band, amazing time at the Alan Doyle concert. Please come back to Toronto, Budweiser Stage. I thoroughly loved this concert. The energy, atmosphere and excitement is an extraordinary combination they bring to the show. I cannot wait to see him again! Loyal to Doyle forever and always.
I've seen this man a lot over the years - and this time there was something extra special. It's really cool when a member of a band that played here so many times in the past - comes back as a solo artist - and puts lots of butts in the seats! (Although at an Alan Doyle concert you don't sit down much!!) You could really tell how appreciative he was of the crowd - so many of them have been fans for a lot of years! And having Ed show up to support is always fun!
It doesn’t get any better than this. Many, if not most bands use backing tracks to supplement their music. Not so with Alan Doyle. All the musicians are extremely talented. Great stage presence and he really gets the audience excited and involved. Absolutely everyone had a great time. I was exhausted by the end of the show.
Besides my love for his music, Alan is a great showman and comes off as a very genuine!! I go every time I get a chance. Ps. Do miss the Great Big Sea band though.
Such an amazing show, non stop singing and dancing. What a night.
I've seen Alan Doyle over 10 times and every single time he makes my heart smile. His band is incredible and I love the feeling I get when the whole crowd is up dancing and you feel the energy in the building! I will continue to come to every concert he has, especially at Budweiser Stage!
I am always thrilled to have the opportunity to see Alan Doyle. The atmosphere is like nothing else you will experience! Whether it be a kitchen party or codchella, you are in for an awesome night.
We will always attend Alan Doyle concerts. Please keep him coming to the GTA every year - the East Coast Party in TO is the best idea! As Ed Robertson said on stage that night, no one cares more about the audience enjoying the show than Alan Doyle. And Alan proved this - as always - with a fantastic show. Loved the show, the music, the enthusiasm, the humour, the love for what Alan does. The East Pointers were awesome too. Please have an East Coast Kitchen party with Alan Doyle as the headliner every year.
