VANCOUVER, BC – June 8, 2026 – Twenty-five years after The Fallout launched Default into the forefront of Canadian rock, the band is marking the milestone with a celebratory run of Western Canadian and Ontario tour dates and special 25th Anniversary Edition vinyl and CD releases. Special guests Wide Mouth Mason and Limblifter will join Default on select dates throughout the tour.

Originally released in 2001, The Fallout became one of Canada’s most successful rock records of the era, launching the band’s career with hit singles including the Billboard Mainstream Rock hit “Wasting My Time,” which helped establish the band’s U.S. profile, “Deny,” and “Slow Me Down.” Twenty-five years later, Default will hit the road to perform songs from the landmark album alongside fan favorites from throughout their catalogue.

“It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years since we released The Fallout,” says Default frontman Dallas Smith. “Those songs changed our lives and opened doors we never could have imagined. We’re incredibly grateful to the fans who have supported this band from the beginning, and we’re excited to celebrate this milestone by getting back on stage and playing these songs together again. The Fallout will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we can’t wait to share these shows with everyone.”
