Tragically Hip expected to perform at gala
The Ottawa Citizen
Tragically Hip fans have another chance to see the band play live in Ottawa before their Bluesfest gig in July.
The Citizen has learned that the Kingston band's next public performance in the capital will be next Saturday night, May 3, in Southam Hall of the National Arts Centre. The Hip are among the recipients at the Governor General's Performing Arts Awards -- the annual gala to honour some of the nation's great artists -- and sources say the legendary Canadian band will perform during the show.
Most musical recipients do not perform. Typically, another musician will perform one of the recipient's songs. Recipients this year include Eugene Levy, Anton Kuerti and Michel Pagliaro, among others. Tickets for the gala are available through ticketmaster.ca, or at the NAC box office.
