Tom Cochrane

Nov 3

Tidemark Theatre, Campbell River

Tuesday, November 3, 2026

There are arena shows… but every once in a while, you get the chance to experience Canadian music icon Tom Cochrane up close in an intimate theatre setting. This November, Tom Cochrane returns to the Tidemark Theatre for a rare duo performance featuring the songs and stories from his remarkable career. For decades, Cochrane has filled arenas and headlined festivals with songs that have become part of Canada’s musical landscape. In this stripped-back theatre show, the music takes centre stage, offering audiences a fresh way to experience favourites like Life Is a Highway , No Regrets , Sinking Like a Sunset , Washed Away , and Mad Mad World . An eight-time JUNO Award winner, Grammy nominee, Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee, and Officer of the Order of Canada, Tom Cochrane has spent more than four decades creating music that continues to connect with audiences across generations. His legendary catalogue, warmth, wit, and storytelling make this an evening that promises to feel both special and personal. His last appearance at the Tidemark Theatre sold out, and this intimate duo show offers another rare opportunity to experience one of Canada’s most celebrated songwriters up close. Whether you have been a fan since the Red Rider days or simply know every word to Life Is a Highway , this promises to be a memorable evening with a true Canadian music legend.
