The Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling artist, Five For Fighting (aka John Ondrasik) is going on tour again, including four solo performances, and later this summer with Barenaked Ladies on their Last Summer On Earth Tour.

Ondrasik will kick off with three intimate solo dates beginning April 14 through April 16 in Texas. The solo shows will be Ondrasik and his piano, playing the songs his fans have loved for over two decades. And on July 2 in South Carolina for a one-night-only performance, Ondrasik will take the stage with his band; drummer Randy Cooke, bassist Sean Hurley, and guitarist Peter Thorn.

The exciting announcement doesn’t end there! Later this summer, Five For Fighting will join Barenaked Ladies on their Last Summer On Earth Tour beginning June 28 through July 22 for a 17-day touring event.

Our summer 2022 post-pandemic headline tour was a poignant reminder of how fortunate we are to share the communal experience of live music with audiences, and we are grateful to be back, again, living our childhood dreams.
