MAGA-supporting Christian singer Sean Feucht to perform in Saskatoon, despite other Canadian cancellations

A controversial Christian concert, scheduled in Saskatoon next month, is set to go ahead as other cities pull the plug.

Sean Feucht, a supporter of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement with Christian nationalist views, is currently on his Revive in ’25 worship tour across Canada.

Winnipeg, Halifax, Charlottetown, Moncton, Gatineau, Quebec City and Vaughn have either revoked Feucht’s permits or cancelled his events.

Officials have cited Feucht’s clash with community values, and concerns around public safety.

Feucht has publicly spoken against the 2SLGBTQ+ community, abortion and called the Black Live Matter movement “a fraud.”

Despite the backlash, Feucht’s concert in Saskatoon — planned for Aug. 21 at Diefenbaker Park — is scheduled to go ahead.

During Wednesday’s city council meeting, Ward 9 Coun. Bev Dubois inquired about the event.

City of Saskatoon Solicitor Cindy Yelland confirmed the city approved the concert permit.

“Currently, there are no public safety concerns that would require the event to be cancelled,” Yelland said.

“However, as with any special event, the situation may change as we get closer to the event. To be clear, allowing an event to occur in public space does not mean the city is endorsing any event, any message of the event, or organizers.”

The Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) said it’s aware of the event and is working with organizers to ensure public safety.

“At this time, we’re not aware of any immediate safety concerns,” a spokesperson with the SPS told CTV News.

Feucht is also scheduled to perform in Edmonton, Kelowna and Abbotsford in August.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Sean Feucht directed CTV to his twitter page for his thoughts and perspectives on recent events in Canada.

Feucht has made several posts on Christianity and politics, as well as other Canadian cities which cancelled permits for public venues scheduled to host his worship events, and freedom of expression.
