Skydiggers Tickets

What a great show! Just what we needed. Electrifying performance, great guest musicians, full of holiday cheer. Wish the venue had more bathrooms - very old school.

I have been watching and listening to this band for 30 years. Each year it gets better. Thanks for a brilliant evening of music, memories, and friends.

Great music the skydiggers took reasonable break time (Not to Long) great venue great unexpected dropins, Jim Cuddy and his son, Kevin Hearn from barenaked ladies. Had a great time

Great time! Special guests were a treat. Making it part of the Holiday tradition. Band sounded great!

What a fantastic night of great music. Skydiggers are amazing and the cast of special guests was unbelievable.

The opening band didn’t play for long enough. Given the two hours for the headline act, I didn’t think 30 mins was enough for them. They were the reason I bought the ticket. The skydiggers started off well. High energy etc. But I thought the set hit a lull around the 40 minute mark. All the songs sounded the same. The special guests played obvious covers. How about supporting an original female musician? Supporting a female singer songwriter is a noble cause all can get behind. I’m a little tired of seeing women simply sing or look good onstage. There are plenty of original female artists who would have been happy to have that exposure. I would keep the overall performance more high energy. I left at about 10:15 as did the couple next to me. My honest opinion? 45min opener. 1:15 min headliner. More high energy / diverse tunes. More original special guests. I can recommend a few

The music was great. The self-loathing condemnation lecture admonishing us of historical issues that predate my ancestors and have zero connection to current living audience members was neither sought nor appreciated. We get enough of this bandwagon-hopping woke crap on CBC every night if we want it. We came to see a music show.

Introduced my bride to my Top 10 favourite album Skydiggers Restless, and she came to love it as much as I do. Thought taking my bride to see Skydiggers at NAC on 03-Dec-2021 would be special. We went out for a night of 'forget-the-world, forget-work, forget-life, and just enjoy a night-out with your best friend", and we were both extremely disappointed. The Skydiggers are gone. Lured-in by memories of Skydiggers of old, and forced to listen to the new politicized Skydiggers and Friends sing/talk/chant to their captured audience about the horrors perpetrated on our lovely First Nations people and communities, women, LGBTQ+ communities, and racialized people. Yes, these people have been wronged, and much awareness, acknowledgement, work and equality is needed to the right the wrong. And, it is not wrong nor disrespectful to want to put that aside for a moment (an evening), and enjoy what we've worked hard for and deserve....to enjoy one another's company as husband and wife, and enjoy an evening of Skydiggers of old. Thanks for nothing, Skydiggers! As the saying goes, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Won't be going back to see Skydiggers ever again. We'll just listen to Restless, and enjoy the memories associated to same.

Andy Maize characterized it as a festival with many tents....and there was an abundance (and variety) of guests featuring both music and spoken word. My only quibble was that I was hoping for a few more songs by the Skydiggers themselves. Missed were recent nuggets such as "If I’m Spared" and "Five Cold Canadians" as well as older classics like "You’ve Got a Lot of Nerve", "Anything for You", "Restless (It's Alright)", "Alice Graham" (the Dakota Sessions version is awesome)....and I'm still waiting patiently to someday hear a live version of "This New Country" which channels vintage Neil Young and Crazy Horse....but I will likely have to wait for a concert where the Skydiggers are alone on the bill for those deeper cuts. Did I mention these were quibbles? A generous concert by a big-hearted band.

The Skydiggers brought together a diverse group of talented individuals in a truly Canadian showcase of talent. Bravo !
