Ten years ago, The Tragically Hip took the stage for the final time in their hometown of Kingston, Ontario. That extraordinary night has since become woven into Canada’s cultural fabric, and now, the band is set to honour its legacy with an anniversary rebroadcast of A National Celebration – Saturday, August 22nd at 7 pm.
Here in Winnipeg, Power 97 has partnered with True North Square for ‘A Local Celebration’, showcasing the band’s final show in larger-than-life fashion on the plaza’s big screen.
Bring a lawnchair and your best Hip gear to singalong with Canada’s band. The show is FREE of admission and commercials, airing as originally presented on CBC back in 2016. True North Square vendors will be open that night to serve food and beverages.
Arrive in good time between 6 and 7 pm for a chance to enter-and-win Hip merch, including a vinyl copy of their new companion album, The Tragically Hip: Live July 22 – August 20, 2016 from Universal Music Canada, featuring recordings from the band’s final cross-Canada tour.
Relive the night an entire nation stood still and honour the band whose songs remain the enduring heartbeat of our country.

The new live album, The Tragically Hip: Live July 22 – August 20, 2016 is released Friday, August 21st. Pre-order HERE.
