Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Fray concert at Centennial Concert Hall on May 19, 2026?

The May 19, 2026 show at Centennial Concert Hall in Winnipeg is part of The Fray’s Summer of Light Tour, a full-band North American tour supporting their new era and album “A Light That Waits.” This date is billed as “The Fray – Summer of Light Tour with The Strumbellas,” so you get a full headlining set from The Fray plus an opening performance by The Strumbellas. It is a one-night, theater-style concert rather than a festival, meaning the entire evening is curated around these two acts in a seated indoor venue. Winnipeg is one of the Canadian stops early in the tour, following Ottawa and leading into shows in Saskatoon, Edmonton, and Calgary.

When is the Winnipeg concert and what time does it start?

The Fray play at Centennial Concert Hall in Winnipeg on Tuesday, May 19, 2026. Live Nation, AXS, and the venue’s own pages all list the show time as 8:00 PM local time. Doors typically open earlier in the evening, often about 60–90 minutes before the show, so you can expect entry to begin around early evening. Planning to arrive between 6:30 and 7:15 PM will give you time to get through security, find your seat, and be ready when The Strumbellas take the stage.

Where is Centennial Concert Hall and what is the venue like?

Centennial Concert Hall is located in downtown Winnipeg at 555 Main Street, in the city’s arts and theatre district. It is a large, purpose-built performing arts venue with orchestra and balcony seating, designed for concerts, symphony performances, and touring shows. The hall is known for strong acoustics and clear sightlines, making it well suited to piano- and guitar-driven rock shows like The Fray’s. Because it is a seated theater rather than an arena or club, most attendees will enjoy the concert from reserved seats, with good views across multiple levels.

Who is opening for The Fray in Winnipeg?

The Winnipeg date is advertised as “The Fray – Summer of Light Tour with The Strumbellas,” confirming The Strumbellas as the special guest and opening act. The Strumbellas are a Canadian band known for their folk-tinged, anthemic indie rock, with big sing-along choruses that fit well alongside The Fray’s emotional, melodic style. They will perform a full opening set to warm up the audience before The Fray’s headlining performance. Arriving in time for their set gives you a fuller concert experience and a chance to see another well-known act for the same ticket.

How much do tickets cost for The Fray at Centennial Concert Hall?

Ticket price grids show that The Fray’s Winnipeg date at Centennial Concert Hall has starting prices around $82, according to tour-wide pricing summaries. Individual ticketing sites list multiple tiers depending on section, with lower-priced seats typically further from the stage and higher-priced options closer to the front or in preferred areas. Because this is a reserved-seating theater, there is a clear price ladder from more affordable balcony or rear-orchestra seats to premium front-orchestra locations. As always, taxes and service fees are added at checkout, so the final cost will be higher than the base ticket price shown on the seat map.

How can I get cheap tickets for the Winnipeg show?

To find cheaper tickets, start with official sellers like Live Nation, AXS, or the Centennial Concert Hall box office while face-value seats are still available, as these are usually less expensive than resale markups. Look for balcony or upper-level seats, which often sit at or near the starting price (around $82) but still offer a strong listening experience in a hall designed for acoustics. If primary tickets become limited, compare multiple reputable resale sites and filter by lowest total price—including fees—so you can spot reasonably priced seats rather than only premium listings. You can further keep your night affordable by buying early, going with friends to share transportation or parking costs, and setting a firm budget for merch and refreshments.

Is this concert part of a bigger tour?

Yes, the Winnipeg show is one of the Canadian dates on The Fray’s 2026 Summer of Light Tour, which supports their new album “A Light That Waits.” Tour announcements list Winnipeg’s Centennial Concert Hall on May 19 in a run that also includes Moncton, Montreal, London, Ottawa, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary, and Vancouver. The tour features different special guests on select dates, with The Strumbellas confirmed for Winnipeg and some other Canadian stops. After Canada, the tour continues through numerous U.S. cities before wrapping up in Chicago at the end of August.

What kind of setlist and performance can I expect on the Summer of Light Tour?

Press releases describe the Summer of Light Tour as a career-spanning show that mixes The Fray’s biggest hits with new songs tied to “A Light That Waits.” Fans can expect signature tracks from albums like “How to Save a Life” along with deeper cuts and fresh material that showcases where the band is heading next. Live, The Fray are known for emotive vocals, piano- and guitar-led arrangements, and large, cathartic choruses that invite audience sing-alongs. With The Strumbellas opening, the evening builds from their folk-anthem energy into The Fray’s polished, atmospheric rock set.

How do I get to Centennial Concert Hall and what about parking and transit?

Centennial Concert Hall’s downtown location on Main Street puts it close to major city bus routes and within reach of Winnipeg’s active transportation network. Many attendees arrive by car and use nearby parking lots and garages that serve the arts district, though spaces can fill quickly on popular show nights. Planning your route in advance and arriving early will make it easier to find parking and get to the hall without feeling rushed. If you want to save money and avoid parking stress, consider carpooling, taking transit, or using rideshare to and from the venue.

Are there presales or VIP packages for the Winnipeg concert?

Tour-wide presale information indicates that many Summer of Light dates, including Winnipeg, offer early access windows such as Amex, artist, promoter, and Spotify presales before the general on sale. These presales usually open in the last week of January 2026 and allow fans with codes to secure seats ahead of the public. Some shows on the tour include VIP packages featuring premium seating, meet and greets, and exclusive “A Light That Waits” merchandise bundles, though specific offerings can vary by venue. If you care more about price than perks, focusing on standard seats during presale or early general on-sale will generally give you the best value.

What should I bring and how can I make the most of the evening?

Bring your ticket (digital or printed), a valid ID, and only essentials that comply with typical theater policies—such as a small bag, payment method, and any necessary medications. Dress comfortably for an indoor seated concert, keeping in mind that the hall may feel warm once the crowd fills in, but Winnipeg evenings in May can still be cool before and after the show. Aim to arrive at the hall well before the 8:00 PM start so you have time to park, pass security, find your seat, and catch The Strumbellas’ opening set. To keep the night enjoyable and budget-friendly, eat a reasonably priced meal beforehand, set a spending cap for drinks and merch, and then relax into the experience—sharing The Fray’s songs in a hall built for live music is what this stop on the Summer of Light Tour is all about.
