It’s been 10 years since the very emotional last concert of the Tragically hip. It was August 20th, 2016 when Gord Downie and the band ended their last tour in their home town of Kingston. The tour was not just the last for the band but one of the last appearances of Gord Downie who would pass away from brain cancer in 2017. 11.7 million Canadians watched the live broadcast of The Tragically Hip’s final concert.
Now, 10 years later we can see that concert again. CBC will rebroadcast the entire concert on August 22nd!
Here’s where you can watch…
- CBC TV at 7 p.m. local time (8 p.m. AT/ 8:30 NT)
- Available to stream on CBC Gem and CBC Music’s YouTube channel at 7 p.m. ET
- CBC Radio at 7 p.m. local time (7:30 Nfld & Maritimes, 7 AT Labrador)

The celebration starts a day earlier, too. On August 21, The Tragically Hip will release a new live album, Live July 22 – August 20, 2016, featuring recordings from the band’s final Man Machine Poem tour across Canada. The album includes live versions of fan favorites like Ahead By a Century, New Orleans Is Sinking, Fifty-Mission Cap, and Locked In The Trunk Of A Car.
