That Night In Buffalo, Simulcast of Tragically Hip's Final Show
Saturday 20th Aug, 2016
Making one last stand across their homeland culminating in their hometown of Kingston, Ontario, this final show to be broadcast live on CBC.
Here in Buffalo, The Hip's "first American exit," the mutual love affair between band and adopted city has played out on stages from the Nietzsche's to First Niagara Center, Canalside and Outer Harbor to Artpark. With so many local fans eager to gather for this last hurrah, Community Beer Works (CBW), Larkin Square, The Good Neighborhood, Store716, WEDG 103.3, The Public and Garbaz Visual Productions are teaming to screen the final show live and outdoors in the heart of Larkinville, complete with food trucks, CBW brews, a pre-show cornhole tourney, plentiful seating, and the square's covered boardwalk in case of rain. We'll have multiple screens and sound broadcast throughout the Square, so you won't miss a moment.
"For those of us at Community Beer Works, The Tragically Hip have been the soundtrack for some of the most beautiful moments in our lives," said Chief Operating Officer Chris Smith. "I wanted to find a way for us to celebrate what this band has meant to us and to Buffalo. I feel like bringing a few thousand people together under the stars to celebrate this man and this band is a fitting tribute."
