About

CHEAP TRICK IN CONCERT:

More than four decades after their debut, hard rock titans Cheap Trick continue to possess the same energy and flair that made them an arena rock staple in the '70s. The band has enjoyed an unbroken run ever since their formation in 1973, and it's easy to see why — their chemistry on stage is undeniable, and they clearly have a blast as they treat fans to nostalgic performances of classics like "Surrender" and "The Flame." Back on the road in 2014 with fellow hard rockers Boston, Cheap Trick will bring their signature high-energy show to fans around the country on a string of highly anticipated dates.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Formed in Illinois in 1973, Cheap Trick recorded demos and toured throughout the Midwest before releasing their self-titled 1977 debut. The album failed to find an audience in the US, but it earned them a fan base in Europe and Japan, setting the stage for their future popularity stateside. While sophomore album In Color contained their highly regarded single "I Want You To Want Me," the band didn't make it onto the US charts until "Surrender" was released as the lead single of 1978's Heaven Tonight. By the early '80s the band was selling out arenas around the globe, achieving their most significant popularity in Japan, where enthusiasm over their tours reached Beatlemania-esque proportions. With more than four decades of hard-rocking live shows under their belts, Cheap Trick will bring plenty of veteran know-how with them on their upcoming tour.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"After 40 years of constant touring and albums, Cheap Trick still rocks! They put on an amazing show with lots of energy. They interacted with the audience and seem so accessible to the crowd."

"Real blast from the past. They haven't slowed down a bit and rocked the house."

"As always, Cheap Trick put on an awesome show. Robin Zander is the best lead singer on the planet & the playlist was great."

  • Not great

    by Bob on 8/24/23Rating: 1 out of 5

    Too loud, too many new songs, not a great showman.

  • Trooper was AMAZING!!!!! GOOO CANADA!!

    by Elsie on 8/24/23Rating: 4 out of 5

    A really great outdoor event! Perfect weather, good people, good Ans drinks. Thanks for hosting!

  • Rocking the stage

    by Dozer on 8/23/23Rating: 5 out of 5

    While the opening act wasn't my style, Trooper and Cheap Trick were totally awesome. The crowd behaved themselves, the bands were very interactive, and the music sounded excellent. The venue's were set up very conviently and the staff working were helpful in every way.

  • Play some of your recognizable hits first

    by Jasper on 8/23/23Rating: 3 out of 5

    I remember enjoying these bands amount many other bands. As one’s exposure to more bands happen over the years the less popular songs fade into memory. You need to catch the audience, not all are from the generation when they were popular so still played songs on the radio etc. will draw new fans in and satisfy old fans who remember the cool popular songs.

  • Not what I expected

    by Burt Block Party Fan on 8/23/23Rating: 2 out of 5

    They should have let the kid sing the classics while the lead singer sang the new stuff. I appreciate the the band comes to Winnipeg to play. I liked the son’s song. Disappointed to not hear any classic songs - left half way through the set.

  • Best Cheap Trick concert I've seen!

    by Gloria on 8/23/23Rating: 5 out of 5

    The last time I saw Cheap Trick inside the beautiful Burton Cummings Theater three or four years ago, it was disappointing as Rick Nielsen was sick with a cold, and honestly, I wasn't happy with the setlist. I didn't recognize a lot of the songs they performed, and I've been a fan since I was 16 years old in 1979 lol. Well the boys made up for it on Sunday night, I was blown away that they did their earlier stuff, especially off the Black and White album! Robin Zander has still got it! The boys played their material to sheer perfection! I'm still reeling from The Experience almost 4 days later! Great memories, great times!

  • Cheap Trick

    by Angie on 8/23/23Rating: 5 out of 5

    Great show! My husband and I loved it! Love the Burt Block Parties!

  • Trooper should have headlined…..

    by Lola on 8/23/23Rating: 3 out of 5

    Loved Trooper!! Super fun. I guess I wasn’t as big a fan of Cheap Trick back in the day. Only knew a few songs and the others didn’t seem to be very “fun” Too heavy for my taste.

  • An ok show.

    by Mick on 8/23/23Rating: 4 out of 5

    Cheap Trick still one of my favourites although they are showing their age. It was an ok show . I’ve seen them two other times and were much better. The Burt setup was great. Could have used having wine on the menu of drinks though.

  • We had a blast!

    by Ally on 8/23/23Rating: 4 out of 5

    We saw Trooper & Cheap Trick, it was great! Brought back so many memories!! ♥️

  • Great Show

    by Daisy Chain on 8/23/23Rating: 5 out of 5

    Don’t get out much cause I hate peoples but went out to see Cheap Trick and they didn’t disappoint… Great show !!

  • A First: Cheap Trick was Disappointing

    by BCinUT on 8/20/23Rating: 2 out of 5

    As a closet groupie, I've often traveled hundreds of miles to see Cheap Trick perform. I've seen the band at least ten times, and they never disappoint. This time, however, something was amiss. Were they bored? Just off their game? Sadly, it will be the last ticket I purchase. I hope this particular show was an anomaly so the band is able to enjoy and continue to perform for satisfied fans for many years to come. The openers, The Tubes, were so... unpleasant... they're not even worth mentioning.

  • Blast from the Past

    by 60smscl on 8/13/23Rating: 4 out of 5

    Cheap Trick put on a nice show. Like many of the older bands touring now, the band was tight, lead singer's voice was not what is was. That didn't mean that we didn't have a great time and sing along to many of the past hits!

  • Pretty good

    by Chubie on 8/11/23Rating: 4 out of 5

    Difficult to understand lyrics, partly sound system for the "Tubes"and age of performer. Still great to be there. Cheap Trick better sound system although still a bit tough to hear some lyrics

  • great

    by Liz on 8/11/23Rating: 5 out of 5

    The music was great. I had a great time with my friend but got sick

  • They Still Got It…

    by Shultsenegger on 8/11/23Rating: 5 out of 5

    This makes it a dozen occasions I’ve seen Cheap Trick. Robin still sounds Fantastic and looks effortless doing it. Rick is as entertaining as ever and his guitar sounds crunchy. They seem to enjoy each other on stage. The Sons as part of the band is Priceless. Keep up the good work.

  • The still know how to rock.

    by Pooher on 8/10/23Rating: 4 out of 5

    Good concert, could have been louder (OC Fair sound restrictions). Played all the hits, some were a little rough but that's ok.

  • The magnetism of Robin Zander, the charisma of Rick Nielsen

    by Sammy B on 8/10/23Rating: 5 out of 5

    C’mon c’mon… it’s Cheap Trick. The greatest rock n roll show in America and they never disappoint. 75 minutes with a hard curfew at 10pm and that’s what you get. Nothing fancy, no pyro, just guitars and the greatest voice in rock music.

  • Cheap Trick always delivers the goods.

    by Hambodie on 8/10/23Rating: 5 out of 5

    Cheap Trick is America's greatest rock and roll band. They always put on a top notch show and tonight was no exception. From the opening of Just Got Back to the ending Good Night they showed us what it takes to be a rock band with a strong history full of songs that have stood the test of time that we all know by heart. Robin's vocals have not waivered a bit and Rick may be on of the most unrated guitarist there is. We were all alright, just a little weird as we surrender to their rock and roll spell.

  • An Amazing Show by Cheap Trick and The Tubes

    by Bryan on 8/10/23Rating: 5 out of 5

    I was very happy with the event as a whole. Venue is easy access, parking is reasonable, food and beverage weren't way over priced. IMHO, a fun event starts with the venue and Pacific Amphitheatre gets it right. The Tubes put on a show full of their hits and a couple deep dives. The band was in great spirits and they seemed to be having a great time. Fee Waybill was especially happy with the Llama that came into the grass area to eat and listen. I'd be up for another Tubes show! Cheap Trick was awesome. I've been wanting to see them for decades and they did not disappoint. Robin, Rick, and Tom looked great and sounded great too and I think it's cool that Robin and Tom have their sons also playing in the band. What a blast it must be to play with family and experience touring together. Robin's son even did lead vocals on a classic and sounded just like his pop. If you get a chance to check either band out, I think you'll get great entertainment and music.
