MULTI-PLATINUM-selling Rock band Barenaked Ladies announce the return of their legendary Last Summer On Earth 2025 Tour. Kicking off in June, the 38-date headline run will bring the globally beloved band’s powerhouse live show to major venues across North America including a return to Cincinnati, OH for a performance at PNC Pavilion on June 10. As part of the tour’s stacked lineup, Guster joins as direct support and all dates will feature Alt-Rock heavy-hitters Fastball.
“This is going to be a fantastic last summer on earth,” says Ed Robertson of Barenaked Ladies. “A great night, chock-full of hits! We’ve got our old pals Guster out with us once again, and our good friends Fastball on the whole tour. If we’re not coming to a city near you, then you should be coming to a city near us!”
Each show will find the eight-time JUNO winners 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.” The TV show is one of the top scripted comedy shows of all time and is still streamed in over 70 countries worldwide, more than a decade after its final episode aired.
Known for creating a near-magical connection with their audience, Barenaked Ladies founded the Last Summer On Earth Tour in 2012 — the same year the Mayan calendar predicted the end of the world. Thanks to their 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”).
Barenaked Ladies is proud to continue to partner with REVERB for Last Summer On Earth 2025 to make the tour more sustainable. Since 2004, Barenaked Ladies has worked with REVERB to reduce the environmental impact of touring while also giving back to local communities across the U.S. and Canada.
With Alt-Rock mainstays Guster returning for the second time to the bill from June 3 to 28, and Pop hitmakers Sugar Ray as direct support from July 8 to August 2, and Fastball on all shows, the Last Summer On Earth 2025 Tour is sure to be a must-see from start to finish. Over the years, the Last Summer On Earth has previously included support from some of Barenaked Ladies’ most esteemed musical peers, including Cracker, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, Blues Traveler, Ben Folds Five, Violent Femmes, Colin Hay, OMD, Howard Jones, Better Than Ezra, KT Tunstall, Semisonic, Five for Fighting, and Del Amitri.

ABOUT GUSTER
Throughout their three-decade-long career, Guster has landed a series of hits on the Billboard charts, worked with luminaries like Steve Lillywhite and Richard Swift, launched their own music festival, and amassed an ardent fanbase partly on the strength of their relentless touring and deeply communal live show. But despite reaching a milestone few musical acts ever come close to attaining, Guster’s latest LP Ooh La La reveals a band fully in touch with the voracious creative energy that first fueled their music back when they got their start playing in dorm rooms at Tufts University. A major leap forward for Guster, Ooh La La ultimately matches that wide-eyed spirit with a newly heightened sense of confidence and commitment to the raw sincerity that’s made them so beloved.
ABOUT FASTBALL
Fastball is an Alternative Rock band, best known as the platinum-selling, GRAMMY-nominated trio from Austin, Texas. From their earliest hit songs, “The Way” and “Out of My Head,” through the years Fastball has continually honed its voice and sound, which has further evolved on its latest, critically acclaimed album, Sonic Ranch. Powered by the exuberant first single and video “Rather Be Me Than You,” following the album release, the band rolled out a music video for their newest single and album track, “Hummingbird.” Fastball has toured extensively throughout 2024 performing before sell-out crowds of loyal fans who have supported the band for over 30 years, as well as an audience of new, young fans just discovering them.
