Tragically Hip fans across Canada are preparing for Saturday, when the iconic band's last concert of their Man Machine Poem tour gets underway in their hometown of Kingston, Ont.
The concert starts at 9:30 p.m. AT.
CBC will be broadcasting the show live, commercial-free, across our television, radio and digital platforms.
There will also be viewing parties for the concert held in Charlottetown and Summerside, P.E.I.
Here's where you can watch the show in P.E.I.
Charlottetown
The event will be streamed in Charlottetown's Victoria Park.
It is free, non-gated, and non-alcoholic.
"Although we can't give the full concert experience, we'll strive for the next best thing — a full production with an over-sized multimedia screen and concert quality sound in the picturesque Victoria Park with the waterfront as the backdrop," said Mayor Clifford Lee on the City of Charlottetown's website.
Donations will be collected on site for The Gord Downie Fund for Brain Cancer Research.
The event will be held rain or shine.
Summerside
The concert will also be streamed at the festival grounds on Green's Shore in Summerside.
"Bring your lawn chair, blanket and the whole family to enjoy the music of this iconic Canadian band," reads an announcement for the event.
Admission is by donation, and proceeds will go to the Canadian Cancer Society.
At home
If you can't make it to either of the events, you can watch the concert from the comfort of your own home.
You will be able to watch the show on CBC Television, or listen in on CBC Radio One, CBC Radio 2 and on Sirus XM Radio.
You'll also be able to watch or listen at CBCMusic.ca, or on the CBC Music Apple App and CBC Music Android App.
