Concert Review: Bay City Rollers, Auckland New Zealand, 2018

Bay City Rollers, the iconic Scottish pop band that rocked the world in the 1970s, have just announced a surprise return: a special performance in Canada on August 9, 2025, as part of the “Scottish Saturday Night” concert event.

The show will take place in Ontario and has already sent a wave of excitement across North America. What’s particularly intriguing is that the event wasn’t heavily promoted beforehand, leaving many fans wondering if this performance is merely a one-off—or the beginning of something much bigger: a possible reunion tour.

According to the band’s official Facebook page, Stuart “Woody” Wood, one of the original and still-active members, will be leading the show along with a supporting band, featuring musicians who’ve worked closely with the Rollers in recent years.

But this comeback is more than just a concert—it’s a heartfelt return to roots, memory, and legacy. Fans can expect a nostalgic, immersive experience with hits like “Saturday Night”, “Bye Bye Baby”, and “Shang-a-Lang”, performed with retro stage design that transports the audience straight back to the glory days of the ‘70s.

One longtime fan commented:

“I never imagined hearing these songs live again here in Canada. It’s like reliving my youth all over again.”

Speculation is already growing that this could be the band’s way of testing the waters for future engagements. Whispers of a tribute album or a cross-continental tour honoring fallen bandmates like Les McKeown are already circulating.

While nothing is confirmed yet, one thing is clear: Bay City Rollers are not just a memory—they’re still a movement.
