Sean Feucht Continues Canadian Tour After Montreal Church Is Fined

A $2,500 fine against a Montreal church for an unauthorized concert has prompted Feucht to stage impromptu shows in Alfred pending permit decisions for late-August performances.

Overview

  • The City of Montreal issued a $2,500 ticket to Ministerios Restauración Church for hosting Feucht’s July 25 concert without a permit, citing breaches of inclusion and safety bylaws.
  • Protesters and police confronted each other outside the Montreal venue, leading to at least one arrest and a smoke bomb detonated inside during the service.
  • After six eastern Canadian dates were canceled, Feucht relocated to an open field in Alfred, Ontario, when the National Capital Commission withdrew his Gatineau permit over public-safety concerns.
  • Local officials and the RCMP are assessing safety plans and bylaw compliance for his August 23 performance at West Kelowna’s Memorial Park and his August 24 event in Abbotsford.
  • A proposed concert on Edmonton’s legislature grounds remains under review following an incomplete permit application covering site access and security requirements.
