Supercrawl and the Hamilton Tiger Cats co-presented the first full-scale concert at THF since 2014 – an epic rock show headlined by Billy Talent and featuring Danko Jones, Teenage Head, and Rules. They now join the elite ranks of previous performers at this very site: Pink Floyd (1975), Rush (1979), and The Tragically Hip (2012).
