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.

Lots of lights, awesome show, great canadian bands
Great show. Enjoyed by young and old. Stage setup engaged entire floor and made for a great show for all. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for great music and unforgettable entertainment.
This was my first concert ever...it was great. We had fun and it was very entertaining.
Our seats were great and the price was awesome I will never forget this just overall amazing
I took 5 of my kids to the concert on April 6. It was a great show!! Hedley put on a great performance and my kids (and I) had a blast!
USS were good, Classified was awesome and Hedley was super awesome, would definitely go to that concert again!!!
Hedley always puts on such a high energy show. I think I've seen them 4 times now it's always so much fun!
Hedley put on an excellent show. I was safely disappointed that such a great Canadian artist wasn't sold out);
Wow' an excellent show. Would go again. 6 went and was enjoyed by all. 18-55 age group
Great show , well organized. My only concern was the underage drinking that was going on. The door people and seat checkers were really pushy.
Phenomenal performance! By far the best concert we've been to, the bassist gives me a lady boner!
Hedley was so good that I can't wait to go back the next time they are in Calgary. The tickets were cheap and I would love to go bac because they are so good
The sound got worse throughout the show, but the Hedley was absolutely amazing!
Excellent show but city of Edmonton a little to quite for me
Hedley is one of the top concerts I've been too. Sounded amazing and great atmosphere. Would definetly like to see more concerts like this in Saskatoon. AMAZING!!!!
This is our third time seeing Hedley. We have their music. The concert was fun, entertaining, well put together, varied stages so other concert goers could see them closer great use of video screens. As usual, they showed old movies. Their entry video was really funny. next time, I would get the meet and greet.
Like always Hedley delivered an unforgettable concert! 5th time seeing them And still amazing!!!
The concert was great! Had a lot of fun. They sang a great collection of songs. The only thing I would change would be to get better opening acts. I intentionally came late to miss the opening acts as I didn't enjoy Classified on their last tour.
I am a big fan of Classified and Hedley. To see both of them in one night was truly amazing! It was just so lively, and they really made the crowd proud to have bought tickets.
Hedley was awesome! They played every song of theirs that I love! My favourite song is Old School. They really involve the audience :)
