50 Mission Live in Kingston – A Night of Hip History and Heartbeat. Honouring Gord Downie’s Legacy in the City Where It All BeganKingston, this is more than a concert. It’s a homecoming.
On Thursday, May 23rd at 8PM, the soul of The Tragically Hip returns to its birthplace as 50 Mission takes the stage at The Spire. This isn’t just a tribute—it’s a resurrection. A celebration. A communion of fans and fire.
From the haunting poetry of “Grace, Too” to the stadium-shaking pulse of “Blow at High Dough,” 50 Mission delivers a live experience that’s part concert, part ceremony. Expect soaring vocals, immersive storytelling, and a setlist that dives deep into the Hip’s most beloved tracks and hidden gems.
But this night is also a love letter to Kingston—the city where Gord Downie and the Hip first found their voice. From sweaty bar gigs to national stages, Kingston was the crucible of a sound that would come to define Canadian rock. It’s where Gord’s lyrics first echoed off limestone walls, where the band’s mythos was born, and where generations of fans learned to sing along.
As 50 Mission channels Gord’s legacy, you’ll feel the ache and the uplift—the raw beauty of a life lived in verse. His words gave voice to our landscapes, our heartbreaks, our histories. His courage, his conscience, and his artistry made him not just a frontman, but a national treasure.
Whether you’re a diehard fan or discovering the magic for the first time, this is your chance to sing, sway, and shout along in the city where it all began.
