BARENAKED LADIES GEARING UP FOR PERFORMANCE OF CLASSIC “ONE WEEK” ON NBC’S TODAY

MULTI-PLATINUM-selling Rock legends Barenaked Ladies will appear on the 3rd Hour of NBC’s TODAY to perform the cult favorite “One Week.” 

The two-time GRAMMY Award-nominated group are gearing up to return to TODAY and reignite this signature anthem. As always, the band will undoubtedly tap into the upbeat energy and unpredictable swing of the instantly recognizable tune, while delivering it with a dose of fresh fire at the same time. “One Week” holds a special place in the hearts of millions worldwide who fell in love with the group upon its global breakout back in 1998. It dominated charts and received a GRAMMY Award nomination in the category of Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group. Indicative of the song’s resounding impact, it has impressively generated nearly half-a-billion global streams. TODAY also serves as the perfect primer for the band’s anxiously awaited Last Summer On Earth 2025 Tour, commencing on June 3 at Chastain Park Amphitheater in Atlanta, GA.

This appearance kicks off what promises to be a very memorable summer for Barenaked Ladies. American Songwriter notably featured them in its print addition for April/May. Plus, they will uncover their forthcoming EP In Flight – Carry On next week on Friday May 16.
