August 8, 2022 — Press release from the Burlington Performing Arts Centre
After a long couple of years of pandemic closures, re-openings, and restrictions, the Burlington Performing Arts Centre (BPAC) is thrilled to be reopening our doors and sharing our 2022/2023 season, which begins September 15, 2022.
Air Supply, the iconic Australian pop band that was founded in 1976, is back in Canada and kicks off our 2022/2023 season. The band that was named for both Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell’s mutual air zodiac signs, spent a decade at the top of the charts and released nearly an album per year for almost 20 years, leaving a long legacy of love songs. Russell and Hitchcock will be gracing our stage, performing hits such as “All out of Love,” “Lost in Love,” and “Without You” on Thursday, September 15at 8:00 p.m.
We are excited to welcome Tom Cochrane with Red Rider back to BPAC again this year on Tuesday, September 20 at 8:00 p.m. Cochrane’s contribution to the Canadian music scene is immense and spans over four decades. Even after releasing 17 albums over the course of his career, filling larger arenas, theatres and festival stages, Tom Cochrane says those early days that built character and helped him find the content for many of his songs that he performs to this day never leave him. Tom is one of only three male singer-songwriters to have a diamond-certified album in Canada, selling over a million copies. Songs such as “Life is a Highway” and “Lunatic Fringe” have made it to the international charts and will possibly be performed on our stage next month!
Our first SOLD OUT show of the season is Love Someone — An Intimate Evening with Johnny Reid. Performing on Thursday, September 29 and Friday, September 20 at 8:00 p.m., there are only a few single seats available for purchase online. What a wonderful sign for the performing arts that everyone is ready to be back in the theatre!
Rounding out our first month of the season is Glass Tiger on Friday, October 14 at 8:00 p.m. Enjoy iconic cuts like the 1986 release “Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone)” to their recently released album, 33. The new album takes the classic Glass Tiger sound with a new, raw, maturity that the band says is them coming back to their original roots of picking up a guitar and starting a band! This is a show not to miss!
