Ten years ago, The Tragically Hip took the stage for the final time in their hometown of Kingston, Ontario. That extraordinary night has since become woven into Canada’s cultural fabric, and now, the band is set to honour its legacy with the release of a landmark live album, Live July 22 – August 20, 2016 out today, and exclusive CBC rebroadcast/global live stream of The Tragically Hip: A National Celebration tomorrow (August 22) at 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET on CBC Gem, CBC Music’s YouTube page, and CBC Radio One on SiriusXM.
Featuring recordings from the band’s unforgettable final cross-Canada tour, including “Ahead By A Century” from their final show in Kingston, Live July 22 – August 20, 2016 captures The Tragically Hip’s last stand in real time, powerful, unfiltered, and preserved in Dolby Atmos for generations to come.

The Kingston finale marked the closing chapter of the Man Machine Poem Tour, a 15-date, coast-to-coast farewell that reached millions. One third of Canadians tuned in, at a fever pitch they filled arenas, gathered in public squares, and watched from living rooms and on phones. As CBC’s historic 2016 broadcast unfolded, the nation stood still. It was more than a concert; it was a shared heartbeat. Billed as A National Celebration, the final Kingston show had Canadians and fans worldwide come together to honour a band whose songs are stitched into the collective subconscious of this country.
Now, a decade later, that historic chapter is being commemorated with Live July 22 – August 20, 2016, a new collection featuring standout performances from across the Man Machine Poem tour. Mixed and mastered in Dolby Atmos by the band’s longtime audio engineer Mark Vreeken, the release stands as both a definitive document of an extraordinary tour and a lasting tribute to The Tragically Hip’s enduring impact.
A National Celebration in every sense, the performance became a defining cultural moment honoring a band whose music has long been that heartbeat of Canada.
