The Tragically Hip will be inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame this fall

April 28, 2026 Alan Cross 0 Comments 0 min read

Come September 26 at Massey Hall, the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame will induct The Tragically Hip, along with Loverboy, Feist, and Roch Voisine. Good call, all of them.

The ceremony will be another major live event with performances honouring the inductees. Performers (Canadian and international) will be announced soon.

Tickets go on sale to the public tomorrow (April 29) at 10 am EDT through the Massey Hall box office. Ticketmaster? Nope. Just at Massey Hall.

I was at one of these CSHF a couple of years ago, and it was fantastic. I encourage you to be there if it’s at all possible. But if you can’t make it, the event will be livestreamed all over the world via the Amazon Music channel on Twitch.
