Here's where to watch tonight's Tragically Hip concert
by Tyler Munro
August 20, 2016
The whole country will be watching. Here's how to join 'em.
Tonight’s Tragically Hip show doesn’t have to be sad.
While the circumstances surrounding the band’s landmark, homecoming gig Kingston are a total fucking bummer, the chance for an entire country to unite in support of its hometown heroes should prove to be an incredible experience.
Tonight is a celebration of life, music, and legacy. For many Canadians, there is no band that speaks to them as authentically as the Hip, and a lot of that stems from the energy, integrity and ebullience of frontman Gord Downie.
Assuming you couldn’t get tickets to the show in Kingston, and, like, chances are pretty good that you couldn’t, CBC is streaming the show live on YouTube (and on TV and the radio, natch).
But let’s say you’re looking to experience it a little differently. Maybe you want to watch it with your community. Maybe your internet sucks. Maybe you want to drown your sorrows in cheap wings, big pints and leather-seated booths?
You’re in luck — restaurants, bars, arenas and big screens across the country are also streaming the show.
