Alan Doyle in Calgary! | Jan. 18, 2025

Alan Doyle (BA'92) needs no introduction - especially for Memorial University alumni. Best known for his work with Canadian roots-rock institution Great Big Sea, Alan has been packing pubs, theatres, and halls across the country for 30 years. Following up on three brilliant solo albums over the past decade, Alan recorded "We Don't Wanna Go Home", a single with country star Dean Brody in 2019. Add to the mix Alan's philanthropy, his achievements on-screen and his musical collaborations with actor Russell Crowe, and his two bestselling memoirs, and it's easy to see why this award-winning Newfoundlander holds a special place in the hearts of Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast.

Memorial University will hold private pre-show festivities as part of Alan's concert in Calgary on Jan. 18, 2025. Start the new year off with Newfoundland and Labrador spirit and book your tickets through our office and in addition to your seats, in a reserved Memorial alumni section, you also get to attend a private pre-show social with alumni and friends!

A limited number of tickets are on sale for two weeks only! Don't miss out on extra fun at this already-joyful show.
