Join musical host and The Tragically Hip tribute act extraordinaire PHANTOM POWER for an unforgettable evening October 17, 2026 at The Capitol Music Club in Saskatoon. GEDfest has grown to be Canada's largest annual celebration of the life of and legacy of Gordon Edgar Downie and the music of The Tragically Hip, taking place in 12 cities across the country between October 17 and 24th. GEDfest'26 YXE is an event you won't want to miss - so please join us to honour Gord, who the world lost to glioblastoma, as we seek to raise funds in support of The Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan. “GEDfest started out as a way of keeping Canadian musical tradition alive. For generations, the Beatles and the Stones made music that was distinctly British. America has Bruce Springsteen, John Cougar, Willie Nelson, and others who keep the “America” in “Americana” music. With Gord Downie’s passing, music that generations viewed as being distinctly and uniquely Canadian is in danger of fading into the past. GEDfest is as much about keeping Canadian culture and memories alive as it is creating new ones. It gives us a reason to come together, play music and share memories with friends, while giving back to those affected by cancer in our local community. This is what makes GEDfest truly UNFORGETTABLE” – Keith Dyck, founder of GEDfest.
