Toronto band PUP has yet another release, a newly announced live album called Megacity Madness (The Official Live Recordings), captured from the band's "tour de Toronto" earlier this year, played six shows across their home city.
The 13-track collection will release on vinyl on March 13, 2026 with recordings from said tour, with no plans to release it digitally. The band also announced the Megacity Shorts: A Touronto Rockumentary Series, which follows the tour, and a 196-page visual zine, Megacity MegaZine.
Via press release, Stegan Babcock states, “This week of shows was one of the best, most validating experiences we’ve ever had as a band...We never expected PUP to do anything aside from play a few basement shows. It really hit me hard on night 6, standing on stage with my best friends and realizing how lucky we are to get to do this for a living, to be from such a wonderfully supportive community, and most of all, to get to do this with all of our friends and family around. I’m relieved we decided to record all the shows and have our friends follow us around all week with cameras. If not for the mountain of evidence, I wouldn't believe any of it happened.”
PUP released Who Will Look After The Dogs? earlier this year, prior to the tour de Toronto.
