Canadian pop rock quartet Sloan returns to its hometown to play its first Halifax show since 2011 at the Marquee Ballroom on Sat., March 7.

The show comes after extensive touring in Canada and the U.S. for its latest album, Commonwealth, released on Sept. 9.

The double record, the band’s 11th collection of all-new material, was preceded by the single Keep Swinging (Downtown) and is unique in the way it divides up the songwriting duties with each member — Jay Ferguson, Chris Murphy, Patrick Pentland and Andrew Scott — taking a side each over the two-LP set.
