The Starlight Room at The El Mocambo
If you missed out on seeing Gord Downie and The Tragically Hip live, or simply want to relive the magic of anthems like 'Ahead by a Century' and 'Bobcaygeon', head down to the El Mocambo for The HIP Experience.
### The Venue: The El Mocambo Perched above Spadina Avenue with its iconic neon palm sign shining bright, the historic El Mocambo has been a cornerstone of Toronto's live music scene for decades. The intimate Starlight Room upstairs provides an electric, sweaty, and authentic rock-and-roll atmosphere that does justice to classic Canadian rock.
### What to Expect Expect a passionate, high-energy set covering the deep cuts and massive radio hits that defined generations of Canadian music. The crowd is always full of dedicated fans singing every word at the top of their lungs.
### Making a Night of It Located right in Chinatown and on the edge of Kensington Market, you can easily fuel up on dumplings or craft beers nearby before walking over to catch the doors open.
