Reunion Tour is the fourth studio album by The Weakerthans, released on September 25, 2007, in Canada and the U.S. The album was released on both compact disc and vinyl record.
The album was produced by Ian Blurton, who previously produced Left and Leaving and Reconstruction Site for the band. Blurton has described the album as the band's most experimental to date, and guitarist Stephen Carroll told Uptown that the album features "lots of ambient stuff, tape loops, and some more keyboard than before".
Prior to the album's release, the band released mock "webisodes" about the making of the record on the Epitaph Records website.
The album debuted at #22 on the Nielsen SoundScan chart for Canada in its first week of release, and at #4 on the alternative/modern rock chart.
The album was nominated for the 2008 Polaris Music Prize.
