Ready to Rock?
Welcome to Guitar Hero!
For this show, we’re cranking up the volume and diving into the music that made the guitar a legend. Whether it’s the raw power of a riff, the heartbreak in a melody, or the thrill of a solo that melts your face (figuratively, of course), the guitar has done it all—and we’re here to celebrate it.
We’ve pulled out all the stops to bring you the energy of a stadium concert with the heart of an intimate performance. Think big screens, dazzling lighting, and killer staging and choreography that bring you closer to the music. With 48 singers on wireless microphones and six phenomenal musicians, including three epic guitarists, you won’t just hear the music—you’ll feel it.
And we couldn’t be more excited to welcome the Young Canadians as our special guests tonight. Revv52 had the honour of performing with the Young Canadians at the Calgary Stampede Grandstand in 2018 and I have personally had the privilege of working with the Young Canadians since 2010. It has been amazing to watch their talent grow over the years. A huge shoutout to their Artistic Director, Susan Mensinger, for making this collaboration happen.
Over the next few hours, we’re bringing you some of the greatest guitar-driven songs of all time—from the iconic riffs of “Sweet Child o’ Mine” to the driving power of “Barracuda” and the mystical journey of “Stairway to Heaven,” this is music that changed the world—and we’re here to bring it to life for you.
So get ready to rock out in your seat! You’re encouraged to clap, sing, or show us some sweet air guitar—whatever moves you. Let’s celebrate the power of music, the magic of the guitar, and the joy of coming together for a performance like this.
Thank you for joining us. Let’s make some noise!
