Join musical host and Tragically Hip tribute act extraordinaire The Hip Replacements for an UNFORGETTABLE evening October 18 2025 at Revelry Food+Music Hub. GEDfest celebrates the life of and legacy of Gordon Edgar Downie and the music of the Tragically Hip. Rounding out the lineup is acclaimed Kelowna act Bush Party. GEDfest 2025 is an event you won't want to miss - so please join us to honour Gord, who the world lost to glioblastoma, as we seek to raise $50,000 in support of the KGHFoundation and all Kelownians battling cancer.
“GEDfest started out as a way of keeping Canadian musical tradition alive. For generations, the Beatles and the Stones made music that was distinctly British. America has Bruce Springsteen, John Cougar, Willie Nelson, and others who keep the “America” in “Americana” music. With Gord Downie’s passing, music that generations viewed as being distinctly and uniquely Canadian is in danger of fading into the past. GEDfest is as much about keeping Canadian culture and memories alive as it is creating new ones. It gives us a reason to come together, play music and share memories with friends, while giving back to those affected by cancer in our local community. This is what makes GEDfest truly UNFORGETTABLE” – Keith Dyck, founder of GEDfest.
