Enter The Haggis (Landing Pad Stage)
General Admission - $27
(plus fees)
For the better part of two decades, Torontoâs Enter The Haggis has combined bagpipes and fiddles with a rock rhythm section to create a distinctively eclectic sound, praised by The Boston Globe, The Washington Post and Canadaâs Globe and Mail. Their songs offer singalong melodies and deep, meaningful lyrics which tell the stories of everyday hard working people, often faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. Signature songs like âOne Last Drinkâ, âGasolineâ, âDown With The Shipâ and âLancaster Gateâ have had hundreds of thousands of plays on social media, appeared in Hollywood movies, and have been performed and recorded by artists around the world.
Enter The Haggis is clearly comfortable on the stage and develops an easy rapport with audiences, sharing the stories behind their songs and laughing through tour anecdotes. The show is exciting and dynamic, featuring unpredictable and spontaneous moments. One song might feature drummer Bruce McCarthy taking a drum solo on Trevor Lewingtonâs guitar strings, while the next song breaks down into a fierce battle between fiddle and harmonica. Sometimes during an encore, the band will leave the stage entirely to perform acoustically standing on chairs in the audience.
Enter The Haggisâ commitment to putting on a great show every single night has made them a favorite at festivals and performing arts centers across the US and Canada. As a result, ETH shows have become an annual tradition on some of the most prestigious stages on the continent. The band has also brought hundreds of fans on eight tours of Ireland, forging deeper friendships with their supporters while exploring ancient landmarks and natural wonders across the country. The next trip is planned for October 11thâ19th 2019.
Enter The Haggis has appeared on âLive with Regis and Kellyâ and âA&Eâs Breakfast With The Artsâ, and was the feature of an hour-long PBS concert special which aired for months on more than eighty affiliate stations across the US. The bandâs legions of die-hard fans (the self-described âHaggis Headsâ) have crowdfunded the last four ETH albums, and played a huge part in propelling the most recent full-length record to its debut at #9 on the national âBillboard Heatseekers" chart. The groupâs friendly, welcoming attitude is responsible for the close relationship it has with its supporters, and all five band members truly enjoy taking time after every show to meet with people one on one.
Enter The Haggis is currently trading off between touring and working on its tenth studio album in Toronto, set for release late 2018.
