Barenaked Ladies announce concert streaming event

Canadian rockers Barenaked Ladies have announced their new concert streaming event, ‘Flip n’ Hits with BNL: A Night of Monster Jams of Pandemic Proportions,’ which has been set for Saturday, April 17th at 9PM EDT / 6PM PDT. Airing from the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto (marking the band’s first show there in 30 years), the 60-minute virtual gig will replay on Sunday, April 18th at 8PM GMT.

Vocalist/guitarist Ed Robertson says, “We had such a blast playing together again when we made the Holiday Special, and we’ve been trying to find more ways to connect with fans. The Selfie Cam Jams are fun, but we’re really jonesing to play an actual concert!”

Robertson adds, “We chose a very special venue in the history of BNL. The Danforth Music Hall was where we played one of our first REALLY big shows in our hometown over 30 years ago. It’s going to be cool to return and share the experience with fans all over the world. Does anybody remember laughter??!”

Tickets start at $15 and ticket bundles (with exclusive commemorative merchandise) are available for purchase HERE. The bundle options also include a post-show virtual Q&A on Saturday and Sunday (Q&A quantities are limited).

A press release adds, “This unique concert experience will feature some of the band’s biggest smash hits and a lot of fan-favorites from their extensive catalogue. Barenaked Ladies are “flipping” out waiting for the return of live shows, so the time is now to bust out their own show of “pandemic proportions.” Get ready for a concert jam-packed with the songs music lovers all know and sing along to. Try to get all the words right this time to “One Week,” or change it to Jimmy Fallon’s version about Biden from The Tonight Show. Reminisce with “Pinch Me.” Dream big with “If I Had $1,000,000.” Get cozy with the TV for the catchy and unforgettable “Big Bang Theory Theme,” and so many other musical treasures.”
