The Tragically Hip has been at the heart of the Canadian musical zeitgeist for 40 years, evoking a strong emotional connection between their music and their fans that remains unrivaled. In 2015, the band's captivating lead singer, Gord Downie, was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, a prognosis that shook a nation. Having just finished their latest record, Man Machine Poem, it seemed only appropriate to take it out on tour, a tour that felt like a farewell. The 15-show run culminated in a National Celebration on August 20, 2016, at the K-Rock Centre in The Tragically Hip's hometown of Kingston, Ontario - their last performance as a five-piece band. THE TRAGICALLY HIP - A NATIONAL CELEBRATION captures this historic concert, revealing the emotion of a country as they said goodbye to their fearless frontman.
