Pop-punk outfit Hedley has been eating up airwaves in their native Canada ever since lead singer Jacob Hoggard made it to the Top 3 of Canadian Idol in 2004. Following the late-2013 release of fifth studio album Wild Life, the band has lost none of their steam, treating audiences to the same wild-eyed, spectacle-filled shows they've become known for over their ten years together. Featuring sharp musicianship, tightly choreographed visuals, and Hoggard's outsized showmanship, the band floored fans in 2013, promising more of the same on their 2014 tour dates.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Formed in British Columbia in 2003, Hedley got an early boost when frontman Jacob Hoggard made it to the Top 3 of Canadian Idol in 2004. After being eliminated in the finals, Hoggard and the band got right to work, releasing their debut single "On My Own" to a No. 1 position on the Canadian Singles Chart the following year. The accompanying self-titled debut album peaked at No. 3, setting the stage for an impressive chart run that has seen all five of their studio albums land inside the Top 10 in Canada. With an impressive string of hit singles that includes "Cha-Ching" and "Never Too Late," Hedley has generated increasing interest outside Canada's borders, paving the way for their continued success on the road.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"These guys are the real deal. The drive, vocal quality, and musicianship live was outstanding, and actually brought the songs to a whole other level."
"Awesome concert! Loved Hedley and their energy! Loved the light display and stage set up. Loved the variety of instruments he played"
"Truly an unforgettable experience! Hedley always pleases the crowd and leaves their fans wanting more!"
These guys get better and better all the time. Had front row tickets and did the meet and greet. Great group of guys. Loved the show!!!
They were so energetic and the music was amazing!!!!!!
Who needs warm up acts anyway?? Definitely not Hedley!! Concert was over two hours long, full of energy, mainly family friendly, and definitely one to remember. I think it's very sad that everyone has jumped ship in light of the allegations, which at this time is all they are. The 6000 or so fans who came to the show were not disappointed. Jacob Hogard is a very talented individual with an amazing voice. His band are great musicians. The song he performed solo, playing the piano as the closer was brilliant. I did not see a concert review, good or bad, in either of our two newspapers. Terrible.
It was an Amazing show. He play all the songs from different albums
The concert was incredible! I love hedley so much!
These boys never dissapoint; the music brings everyone together - the lyrics, in midst of what was going on you could feel the emotion behind the words and tommy was smiling all night, dave had great pumped up energy, jay was super into it and goofed around, and jake is always the performer - wishing these boys a wonderful come back. All your day ones will be here waiting for a kickass and heart felt album. Thank you !!
vIP passes sooo with it! Awesome seats an unforgettable show!
We were hesitant to attend, given the latest news about the band and how that would impact opening acts, possible protesters, etc. Hedley was consistently consistent in their showmanship, energy, and ability to engage the audience. People were laughing, singing, dancing and clapping throughout. The Hershey Centre is a great venue. I hope they work out their challenges named in the media and return soon.
Excellent show. Very intimate setting. Great security measures in place. Overall concert was fantastic. Sad to hear that Hedley is going on an indefinite Hiatus.
#IStandWithHedley This night was amazing! I will never forget this tour with Hedley. I was able to attend the Halifax and PEI shows. They are the best and I can't wait to see them again! I've loved this band since the beginning and I will continue to support them!
