The Buckle Up Tour, presented by Bud Light and powered by Live Nation Canada, aims to provide exceptional live music experiences in intimate settings, aligning with the brand’s dedication to engaging country music fans. Andrew Oosterhuis, Vice President of Marketing at Labatt Breweries of Canada, emphasized the importance of bringing country music back to its small-town roots for all Canadians to enjoy.
Owen Riegling, a budding country music star hailing from Mildmay, Ontario, has been making waves in the Canadian country music scene after winning the 2022 Emerging Artist Showcase at Boots & Hearts festival.

Riegling expressed his excitement about the upcoming tour, which includes stops in both familiar and new small-town bars, connecting with fans and sharing his music in a meaningful way. With a personal connection to Bud Light and an inspiring song dedicated to the brand, Riegling’s collaboration on the Buckle Up Tour was a natural fit, according to Oosterhuis.
The tour will visit locations such as Fort McMurray, Banff, Saskatoon, Thunder Bay, and many others, culminating in a homecoming show for Owen in Mildmay. Each stop will feature a special opening performance by a local musician, adding to the unique and authentic experience of the tour.
