As the official audio music streaming partner, SiriusXM Canada will be on-site at Live Nation Canada events and venues to give fans and SiriusXM subscribers unparalleled concert experiences and access. From Vancouver to Toronto to Montreal, SiriusXM will be at select concerts at RBC Echo Beach and Budweiser Stage and several festivals including Born & Raised, FVDED in the Park and Osheaga. On-site activations will vary but include an exclusive branded lounge area, live broadcasts, VIP access and memorable fan experiences.

Alexisonfire rose up out of the Southern Ontario underground in late 2001 to become one of the most successful indie bands to come out of Canada. They released four hugely successful studio albums, all Music Canada Platinum-certified: Alexisonfire (2002), Watch Out (2004), Crisis (2006), and Old Crows / Young Cardinals (2009). Crisis debuted at #1 on the Top 200 Soundscan (Canada), and Old Crows / Young Cardinals debuted at #2, and charted at #9 on the US Billboard Independent Album chart. Watch Out helped garner a New Group of the Year JUNO (2004).
