They have had two number one hits on the Canadian Singles Chart and six number one videos on the Much Music Countdown. Their self-titled debut album went double platinum in 2005, and their most recent release ‘Famous Last Words’ has already gone platinum. What’s next for the Canadian Rock sensation? A gig at the Classic Theatre on June 22.
“This is absolutely unbelievable,” says Classic Theatre General Manager, Angela Drainville-Ashick. “That a group of this caliber and current level of popularity is going to come to our area and perform in our venue is a real honour.”
Drainville-Ashick is quick to point out the hard work of Classic Theatre volunteers and Board of Directors in making this happen. “People come to the theatre and they might not realize the level of hospitality that we provide to our performers. We have taken very seriously our role in entertaining the professional artists who come here and we finally have a reputation that is getting us noticed.”
Outside the inner workings of the Classic Theatre, people are very excited for Hedley to make their entrance on the local stage. Folks are talking about the limited seating and the huge number of fans that are going to want tickets. Tickets are going on sale on May 11th at 1:00 pm and are $45 each. There will be a limit of four tickets for those in line. Tickets will not be released to ticket outlets or phone sales until May 12th at 9:00 am.
“It’s a rare opportunity for people to see such a huge act in such an intimate venue,” Drainville-Ashick explains. “Those people fortunate enough to get tickets will be given a really special experience.”
