Live & Loud • Canadian Alt-Rock Tribute
Where the songs live on, and the stories keep breathing - 50 Mission was born from the quiet places where music becomes memory — from car rides on northern highways, from late‑night kitchen radios, from the echo of Gord’s voice drifting through arenas and hearts. We are a tribute, yes, but more than that, we are caretakers of a feeling Canadians know in their bones.
Every night we step onstage, we carry the weight and wonder of those songs. The poetry. The pulse. The strange, beautiful electricity that only The Tragically Hip could conjure.
Our vocalist channels the spirit and vocal nuances of Gord Downie — not as an imitation, but as an act of devotion. The band behind him is relentless in detail, chasing every bend, every breath, every whispered note that still demands our nation to stop and listen.
From theatres to festival fields, from charity stages to rooms built for singing along, we carry The Hip’s catalogue close to our hearts — not as a museum piece, but as a living, breathing celebration. Every show is a thank‑you letter. Every chorus is a promise to keep Gord's flame bright and carry on his legacy.

Bringing Canada's Favourite Band to You
That music can be a map. That a lyric can be a lighthouse. That a room full of strangers can become a single voice.
We play these songs because they shaped us. We play them because they still matter. We play them because somewhere in the crowd, someone is hearing their favourite memory come alive again.
What You’ll Experience
A show that feels like a heartbeat you remember. A sound that hits like the first time you heard “Grace, Too.” A night where the anthems roar, the deep cuts breathe, and the stories behind the songs feel close enough to touch.
This is not nostalgia. This is communion
50 Mission is an independent tribute to the music of The Tragically Hip. We are not affiliated with The Hip — only inspired by them, humbled by their legacy, and committed to honouring it with honesty and heart.

Thank you to everyone who leaves a comment after our shows. We read them all, and your words mean the world to us. Your stories, your memories, and your support keep this whole thing alive. We’re grateful every time we step onstage and every time we hear from you.
Every song felt like a love letter to Gord and the band. I had goosebumps the entire night.
The little vocal inflections, the poetry, the energy—this is as close as it gets.
They play the hits, but they also dive into the deep cuts that true fans live for.
Turn it up
Every time we step onstage, we’re chasing that feeling—the spark that happens when The Hip’s music connects a room full of people. These performances mean everything to us. They’re our way of honouring Gord, celebrating the songs we grew up with, and sharing the energy that only happens live, in the moment, with all of you.
