Legal Age 19+ (Valid Photo I.D. Required)MODO-LIVE & 100.3 The Q PresentsBig Sugar - Hemi-Vision 30th Anniversary Tour February 7, 2026Upstairs Victoria, BCBIG SUGARs 30th Anniversary HEMI-VISION tour: celebrating 3 decades of the album that introduced Diggin A Hole, If I Had My Way and Gone for Good to radio and Much Music fans across Canada. Big Sugar was an iron man test of musical endurance set against a backdrop of personal turmoil and creative pressure in the 1990s. The cultural experiment of Detroit blues meets Detroit Rock City meets Kingston Ghetto recipe became a force that burned like a vacant inner-city house fire. The unlikely success of the Roots Rock Reggae crew in Hugo Boss suits during the height of grunge bought the creative freedom to drive on. And drive on they have.That musical spontaneous combustion continues within every live show. Powered now with passion, laughter and comradery. Big Sugars throbbing bass lines, arena rock drums and signature guitar tones bring the songs on Hemi-Vision to life reminding us how deeply satisfying a great rock show can be!Gordie Johnsons power trio featuring bassist Anders Drerup and drummer Root Valach have forged their musical bond during the wildly successful 500 POUNDS tour. Weaving blues and reggae through the wall of guitars and adding vocal harmonies that invoke Jamaica, Motown or an East Coast kitchen party, Big Sugar endures.The 30th Anniversary Hemi-Vision Tour is a 2 set performance that sees the entire album performed live for the first time ever followed with a second set of favorites and rarities from the extensive Big Sugar catalogue.Please share the evening of Roots Rock Reggae with Big Sugar!
