BIG SUGAR’s 30th Anniversary “HEMI-VISION” tour: celebrating 3 decades of the album that introduced “Diggin A Hole”, “If I Had My Way” and “Gone for Good” to fans across Canada. That musical spontaneous combustion continues within every live show. Powered now with passion, laughter and comradery.

Big Sugar’s throbbing bass lines, arena rock drums and signature guitar tones bring the songs on “Hemi-Vision” to life reminding us how deeply satisfying a great rock show can be! Gordie Johnson’s power trio featuring bassist Anders Drerup and drummer Root Valach have forged their musical bond during the wildly successful 500 POUNDS tour.

Weaving blues and reggae through the wall of guitars and adding vocal harmonies that invoke Jamaica, Motown or an East Coast kitchen party, Big Sugar endures.

Incredibly Hip are bringing ‘Live Between Us’ Album to the stage. A tribute to The Tragically Hip and Canadian rock at its loudest and most honest.

It debuted at #1, sold 35,000 copies in its first two days, went 6× Platinum, and stood as the best-selling live album by a Canadian band for 20 years. The title came from graffiti in Kingston that simply said, “The Hip live between us” — now it's a legacy.
