Eagles of Death Metal at Danforth Music Hall

Death By Sexy 20th Anniversary Tour / North America 2026

With a diverse fanbase of all ages and a reputation for moody tunes, metal music always has had a controversial place in history since about the 1970s. For decades, metalheads have made grandmothers clutch at their pearls and raged against the machine through enthralling guitar mega solos and insane head-bursting lyrics.

The metal genre has grown and formed into numerous spin-offs like the 1980s classics of thrash, glam and doom metal, or modern marvels of alternative and death metal. The newest branches include folk metal and deathcore, although lifelong metalheads also have a sense of territorialism about their favorite bands. Still, everyone moshing can agree that everyone there wants to revel in the music and freely express themselves as they see fit.

Eagles of Death Metal welcomes all metal guests in Toronto, whether they're old enough to have experienced the important thrash and glam metal bands firsthand or they're ready to jump into the fray that is the metal genre. Despite their name, the Palm Desert rockers - founded by Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme - deliver upbeat garage rock and desert rock vibes rather than actual death metal, bringing their high-energy party vibe on the Death By Sexy 20th Anniversary Tour celebrating their famous 2006 album.

Eagles of Death Metal understands heavy feelings, as anyone can hear from their impressive collection that pull at the heartstrings (with lyrics your mother would turn off). With songs like "Miss Alissa", "I Only Want You", and "Wannabe in L.A". Ranking high on the rock charts, magazine features and several awards under their belts, Eagles of Death Metal is appreciated and rightly so.
