About this concert
Canadian rock band Headstones, formed in Kingston, Ontario, began their early music career performing to anyone who would listen. At the time, artists such as Neil Young and Leonard Cohen were gracing the charts on Canadian radio while American musician Stevie Ray Vaughn was reviving the blues south of the border. Headstones decided to take a much different approach.
Carrying a similar attitude to Iggy Pop and Henry Rollins, Hugh Dillon led members Trent Carr and Tim White into becoming a band synonymous with the real Canadian road-worn punk-rock & roll, touring their anti-social behaviour across the country to rough and restless fans. Their storied career has led them to become one of Canadian rock's most critically acclaimed bands, earning them multiple chart topping hits, music awards and over a million records sold.
Headstones recently released their highly anticipated full-length album Flight Risk, followed by a sold out tour from Toronto to Vancouver, including Buffalo. Flight Risk is pre-apocalyptic rock and roll at its finest, following up their 2019 release PeopleSkills, which garnered two Top 10 radio hits with “Leave It All Behind” and “Horses”.
This is one of the most subversive Headstones rock & roll records to date. Flight Risk is the result of years of relentless work ethic and dedication, a testament to the long-standing relationships within the band and their team. The album features a surprise co-write on the track "Ashes," between Hugh Dillon and long-time friend and collaborator Taylor Sheridan; one of the most prolific, premier storytellers of his time, and architect of hit series’ Yellowstone and 1883, and Oscar nominated films "Sicario" and "Hell or High Water." Taylor and Hugh co-created Mayor of Kingstown, which is now entering its third season.
Headstones are headed back to the studio to begin work on their forthcoming new album, scheduled to be released Spring 2024.

Headstones Biography
Headstones solidified themselves as a commercial force in the music industry, dominating the charts and airwaves with hits off 1996’s gold-selling album Smile and Wave. Following this peak in their success Headstones put out two other records, Nickels For Your Nightmares in 2000 and The Oracle of Hi-Fi in 2002. The band officially broke up one year later in 2003, still ranked as one of the most commercially successful Canadian rock bands.
In 2010, the band re-united and re-captured the spirit of camaraderie that originally drew them together. Since then, the Headstones released Love + Fury worldwide, including #1 hit single longwaytoneverland earning them a top 10 album for the first time in their career, and a 2014 JUNO Awards nomination for Best Rock Album of the year. In 2017, the band released their biggest record yet, Little Army.
Now in 2022, The Headstones are back with their highly anticipated full-length album Flight Risk, out October 14. Flight Risk is pre-apocalyptic rock and roll at its finest, following up their 2019 release PeopleSkills, which garnered two Top 10 radio hits with Leave It All Behind and Horses.
Flight Risk is the result of years of relentless work ethic and dedication, a testament to the long-standing relationships within the band and their team.

The first track Tangled – shared last month - is a monstrously uncompromising ode to the 21st century, with elements of Link Wray, The Deadboys, and a hint of Dylan-esque disregard. The track is burning up rock radio. The title track Flight Risk is a defiant yet intricate juxtaposition of lyric and music, showcasing the band’s incredible songwriting talent, alongside Dillon’s rapid-fire vocals.
Since the release of their last album, Headstones frontman Hugh Dillon has maintained a frenetic pace, balancing writing and recording new music, with his acting and producing duties. Most recently he co-created Paramount+ original series Mayor Of Kingstown with Taylor Sheridan. Dillon and Sheridan previously worked together on the critically acclaimed drama Yellowstone. Mayor Of Kingstown, which features a star-studded cast that includes Jeremy Renner and Dianne Wiest, is currently in production for season two.
