Christian musician and pastor Sean Feucht, who had six performance permits revoked on the first leg of his Canadian tour last week, may need to seek out new venues for some of the advertised concerts on next month’s second leg in Western Canada.
National Post contacted the site managers for the five shows between Aug. 20 and 24, all of whom are still in the process of reviewing the applications.
The show that seems most likely to proceed is at South Bandshell on the Alberta legislature grounds in Edmonton on Aug. 22.
In an email, Infrastructure Alberta said organizers are working through their event permit application. It had previously told the
that the application was incomplete and the Ministry was “taking steps to help organizers submit a complete application.”
According to the
, performances require specific approval and anything associated with “ministry initiatives… may be considered on a case-by-case basis.” All applicants are required to carry at least $2 million in liability insurance and include a security plan, among other requirements.
“Alberta is committed to supporting and respecting everyone’s right to free speech,” the ministry wrote to National Post. “We have a duty to uphold these rights and freedoms, regardless of an individual’s religious or political beliefs. The Government of Alberta does not engage in shutting down or censoring law-abiding events.”
Feucht (pronounced Foyt) plans to kick off the second leg of Let Us Worship: Revive in 25 at Central Park in Winnipeg on Aug. 20.
A spokesperson for the city said they are still reviewing the application from BURN Canada, the Canadian arm of the Burn 24-7 worship and prayer movement founded by Feucht in 2005.
Feucht, a 41-year-old married father of four from California, describes himself as a musician, missionary, author and activist. However, his religious and political views — including his stance on abortion, gender, the LGBT community and COVID-19 mask and vaccine mandates — are what led to much of the discord last week. He’s also been
closely affiliated with the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement
and is a passionate supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump.
The City of Saskatoon, where Feucht and company are promoting an Aug. 21 show at Diefenbaker Park, is taking another look at the application it initially approved.
“The City is currently reviewing the application again and any changes to the event will come after consultation with our special events team including the Saskatoon Police Service,” the spokesperson wrote.
“As this event is not until August 21, the public safety concerns are still being considered. Public safety is always a key component of public event planning in Saskatoon.”
After the free concert in Edmonton on Aug. 22, the tour heads to West Kelowna, B.C., for a performance at Memorial Park on Aug. 23.
That city said it’s “closely monitoring the circumstances surrounding the tour” and staff are “reviewing the safety and security plan” for the event.
“Due to the limited information provided by the event organizer at the time of booking and the public concerns expressed, we have increased concerns regarding public safety and the event organizer needs to meet the necessary security and safety requirements,” a spokesperson wrote, noting collaboration with the RCMP.
It’s also planning to re-examine its booking procedures and policies for future facility rentals.
The Canadian tour finale is scheduled for the next day, Aug. 24, in Abbotsford, B.C., which is also reviewing the special events permit for the Mill Lake Park performance.
“The City’s role in permitting community events is to ensure public safety and bylaw compliance,” it told National Post.
Feucht, meanwhile, is back in the U.S. this week after a headline-grabbing week in Eastern Canada,
where all six of his shows were cancelled by the venue
, starting with one scheduled for York Redoubt National Historic Site in Halifax on Wednesday over what Park Canada said were “heightened public safety concerns.”

That show proceeded at a farmer’s field outside the Nova Scotia capital, and Feucht was also able to secure alternate venues for subsequent cancellations in Charlottetown, Moncton, Quebec City, Gatineau, and Vaughan, Ont., where municipal officials cited security concerns, permitting issues, or local codes of conduct.
He also showed up at
a Spanish evangelical church in Montreal on Friday,
where an unscheduled performance was met with protests and a police presence that led to one arrest. The city later levied a
$2,500 fine against the church for not having the required permit to perform.
“This is not a performance — it’s a church service,” Feucht told media outside the Église Ministerios Restauración.
A spokesperson for Reseau evangelique du Quebec, a group representing 500 of the province’s evangelical Protestant churches, agreed and expressed concern about what it saw as an attack on religious freedom, even if the organization doesn’t support Feucht’s personal views.
“While the criticism of ideas is legitimate in a democracy, state censorship of those ideas represents a dangerous deviation,” Jean-Christophe Jasmin told
.
“It’s not the state’s place to determine how our churches ought to conduct themselves.”
National Post has contacted Feucht and BURN Canada for comment.
