New this year, Hogs for Hospice™ will have live band acts both Friday, August 4 and Saturday, August 5. Friday night will kick off with a bang as Seacliff Park concert area hosts Hairball—The Band. Hairball is a rock ’roll experience you won’t forget. Some bands put on a concert—Hairball puts on an event! The lights, sound, video screen, smoke, fire, blood, bombs, confetti, spiders, snakes and monsters (oh my) and the screaming of hordes of rabid Hairball fans create and event—an event that hits you so hard, it’ll take a few days to recover! Saturday night will feature Our Lady Peace, a Canadian rock band formed in Toronto in 1992. Headed by lead vocalist Raine Maida since its formation, the band additionally consists of Duncan Coutts on bass, Steve Mazur as lead guitarist, and Jason Pierce on drums. The band has sold millions of albums worldwide, won four Juno Awards, and won ten MuchMusic Video Awards— the most MMVAs ever awarded to any artist or group. Our Lady Peace is one of Canada’s most popular bands and is one of the few Canadian rock acts that managed to achieve success in both the 1990s and 2000s. Tickets are now available for sale online at www.hogsforhospice.com or at Leamington Ticket Headquarters: Speedprint, 45 Industrial Rd.; Jose’s Bar & Grill, 215 Talbot St. W.; CIBC, 69 Erie St. S. Hogs for Hospice™ is a sanctioned event under the Leamington District Memorial Hospital Foundation and is a community-led event to support Hospice and Healthcare initiatives in the community. This exciting 3-day motorcycle rally in Leamington includes a variety of different activities tailored to the motorcycle community, families, and riders and non-riders alike.
