Hedley, Vancouver’s multi-platinum power pop-rockers have announced today that they are heading out on a cross-Canada tour kicking off in Penticton, BC on March 22nd  and ending up in St. John’s, NL on April 19th.  Special guests Fefe Dobson and Stereos will join them on the road for all dates and US chart-toppers Faber Drive will be on the bill from Penticton on March 22nd to Dawson Creek on March 26th.

There’s been no free ride in Hedley’s steady climb to the top. Over four years, the band has earned two multi-platinum albums and won acclaim and a devoted fan base through a constant regimen of hard work and relentless touring.  Nor is there an ounce of phoniness in the group, led by irrepressible frontman Jacob Hoggard, a former Canadian Idol contestant himself. In fact, much of Hedley’s huge appeal lies in the band members’ refusal to take themselves too seriously.

“We’re not rocket scientists—or rocket surgeons,” chuckles Hoggard.  “We’re the same jerks we’ve always been, four buddies who like to have fun and make music. But our show is no longer about flashing lights and us running around pulling our pants down. We’ve really grown as writers, musicians and performers, so now it’s the full entertainment package.”  That refreshing mix of lighthearted candor and emotional honesty lies at the heart of The Show Must Go, Hedley’s much-anticipated third album.  On this album the band has pushed its robust sound forward without sacrificing any of its distinctive edge.

They may not be “rocket surgeons,” saving lives or saving the world, but Hedley is clearly making a contribution to the music scene. From the fizzy pop-punk of its debut to the sophisticated pop-rock of The Show Must Go, Hedley continues to prove that mixing frivolity with thoughtfulness and showmanship with songcraft is the best formula for success.

Hedley is offering their fans the opportunity to purchase special VIP packages starting November 17th.  The "Amazing" VIP Experience includes great seats, a meet and greet with the band, exclusive merchandise items including a custom cell phone skin, and access to a series of special video messages from the band.  For full details and other package options, visit www.hedleyvip.com.
