About

HOOTIE AND THE BLOWFISH IN CONCERT:

Few bands loom larger in the collective memory of the '90s than Hootie & the Blowfish, the unforgettably-named roots rockers behind decade classics like "Only Wanna Be with You" and "Time." Combining heartland rock and pop sensibility, the band's 1994 debut album Cracked Rear View went 16 times platinum, landing five singles on the charts and becoming the top-selling album of 1995. In 2014, the band will reunite on stage to celebrate 20 years since their landmark debut, treating fans at select tour dates to their greatest hits as well as new material from their highly anticipated reunion album.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Formed by four University of South Carolina freshmen in 1986, Hootie & the Blowfish released several demo EPs before launching to superstardom with their  chart-topping 1994 debut Cracked Rear View. Singer Darius Rucker's iconic baritone became an ubiquitous presence on '90s airwaves as songs like "Let Her Cry" and "Hold My Hand" climbed the charts, eventually making the debut the top-selling album of 1995. After picking up Best New Artist at the 1996 Grammys, the quartet once again landed at No. 1 with sophomore album Fairweather Johnson,  appearing on MTV Unplugged in support of the album's release. Following the 2005 release of Looking for Lucky, the group disbanded, announcing reunion shows in 2014 to the delight of fans around the world.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"This show was unforgettable. The band still plays with chemistry like they were still touring. They are so energetic and still sound amazing. They came out for two encores. I highly recommend this show!"

"Stage set was amazing and the Band was outstanding. Great sound and the set list was perfect. They covered a few songs like Cheap Tricks 'Surrender' (AMAZING), Doobie Brothers, and more, along with All the Blowfish's greats!"

"It was like the 90's all over again! You have got to love a band that has fun playing music."

    Bootie & The Blowfish with BNL

    by Bee on 2019-09-06Budweiser Stage - Toronto

    We loved the concert and both Hootie & The Blowfish and Bare Naked Ladies knocked it out of the park! 10+ rating from us and we’d see them both again! Budweiser stage is an awesome venue but the concessions need to be more accommodating with snacks. Nothing Gluten Free other than popcorn! Other than that, fantastic night out!!!!

    First time

    by Jo on 2019-09-02Budweiser Stage - Toronto

    This was my first time at Budweiser stage. Hootie were very good. The drinks are very expensive. Signage to find washrooms wasn’t great. Open air experience was good except for all the smoking it allowed. I came out stinking of marijuana.

    Amazing once we finally arrived

    by Rhonsy on 2019-09-01Budweiser Stage - Toronto

    Hootie concert was absolutely awesome. Band was on point...crowd was good! However it took 2 hours to try and park and it was a 20 minute walk once parking was found far away. Ontario place should have had priority parking for concert goers to ensure a positive experience. I am sad I missed barenaked ladies opening but am so happy i made it to hear my wedding song by hootie. Would go see hootie again!

    The concert was great. Of course lineups for the bathrooms. Nothing bad to say. Security was everywhere if needed so no complaints all around.

    Love Hootie

    by m. r. on 2019-09-01Budweiser Stage - Toronto

    Was what was expected and more. Not only was energy high in the huge crowd but everyone was just so happy to be there. No frustration with slow moving lines. People were just taking and laughing with strangers. That's the mood Hootie music instills in people. Fantastic music and total crowd participation. And Barenaked ladies were a huge treat. Loved that too. Wonderful world needs to be released on you tube. Even when the show was done the slow moving crowd was singing loud to the music being played. Beautiful all round. Thank you Hootie. Love you guys.
