Italian power-metal vocalist Roberto Tiranti has announced his first-ever Canadian tour dates, including a Toronto concert later this month.

The three-date run opens Friday, October 23 at Piranha Bar in Montreal, continues Saturday, October 24 at La Source de la Martinière in Québec City, and closes Sunday, October 25 at The Baby G in Toronto. Tickets are on sale through the venues, with VIP meet-and-greet packages listed for the shows.

Tiranti is best known as the frontman of Labÿrinth, including the band's landmark album Return to Heaven Denied, in a career spanning more than three decades across rock, progressive and symphonic metal projects.

The Canadian dates are billed as full live-band performances drawn from across his catalogue — a rare North American appearance for a singer whose touring has centred largely on Europe.
