BAHAMAS, Sugar Sammy, Glass Tiger, and more coming to Confederation Centre of the Arts

An iconic 80s rock band, an internationally renowned comedian, and a skilled illusionist are just a few of the acts coming to Confederation Centre of this Arts this fall and winter.  

Sponsored by CompassTech, the LIVE @ the Centre 2024-2025 season will kick off in October with JUNO Award-winning musician BAHAMAS. He is one of many East Coast musicians taking to the stage this year. Other acts include folk/roots artist Irish Mythen, pop-rock quartet Good Dear Good, Music PEI’s 2024 Entertainer of the Year Lawrence Maxwell, and Christmas shows from The Ennis Sisters, The Irish Descendants,and Lennie Gallant.  

Fans of 80s music will not want to miss a nostalgic night with Canadian rock band Glass Tiger. They will be joined by former MuchMusic VJ Erica Ehm for a one-of-a-kind retrospective performance of their greatest hits.  

Beyond music, the season also includes comedy from Sugar Sammy – a fearless Montreal comic known for being a master of crowd work and audience interaction. Island performers Jessica Gallant and Adam Brazier will also be serving up two nights of romantic comedy with Live, Laugh, Love! – a Valentine’s Day cabaret show featuring music that celebrates love.  

After appearing on hit shows like America’s Got Talent and Masters of Illusion, Chris Funk will bring his magic show with live music to the Island for the first time. Known for pioneering the use of instruments in his illusions, his engaging multimedia performance leaves audiences bewildered.  

The season also includes several performances from arts education programs at Confederation Centre of the Arts, including choral music, dance, and musical theatre.  

“We are thrilled to be presenting another eclectic lineup of entertainment to the Island,” says Darcy Campbell, director of LIVE @ the Centre. “We are highlighting some of the best musicians in Atlantic Canada – folks will see familiar favourites and new acts you are sure to fall in love with. There is truly something for everyone.”
