Blue Rodeo's Big Bud Riley O'Connor Honours Lads At Amphitheatre

By FYI Staff

Under a perfect sky and a cool evening breeze last Saturday (Aug. 24), Blue Rodeo made history of a sort performing at the Budweiser Stage amphitheatre in Ontario Place, the all-Canadian band’s 20th show at the venue since it opened in 1995.


In the true tradition of keeping it homespun and real, Jim Cuddy’s son was co-billed in the Devin Cuddy Band, alongside longstanding band mate’s Sam Roberts Band.

The expansive show included a setlist of 17 Blue Rodeo treasures, opening with 5 Days in May and closing on Hasn’t Hit Me Yet. After a rousing yell from the audience, the lads returned to encore with Try, I Got Stoned and Missed It, and Lost Together.

Sidhu Moose Wala’s legacy continues onstage.

The late Punjabi rapper kicked off his Signed to God hologram tour with a sold-out show at Scotiabank Arena on Friday night (Oct. 9), the first performance following his untimely murder in 2022. While becoming the first Punjabi artist to tour as a hologram, he was joined by a long list of collaborators and acolytes from the Punjabi Wave including AP Dhillon, Steel Banglez and AR Paisley, who continue to further the movement that the rapper played a key role in as one of its first breakout stars.
