The Capitol Centre
The property upon which the Capitol was built was purchased in 1927 by Louis Rosenbaum, a Sturgeon Falls businessman. He began building the structure and, when he ran out of funds, he sold it to Famous Players Canadian Corporation. They opened the Capitol Theatre on June 1st, 1929. The Capitol had 1455 seats and was referred to as “a palace of splendor” with it’s elaborate Spanish lights and décor. The movie that was shown to the sold out grand opening crowd was, In Old Arizona. It was the first all-talking Fox feature movie, a western starring Edmund Lowe, Warren Baxter and Dorothy Burgess.

All Things Music Presents "A Tragically HiP Show!"
feat. Man Machine PoemTHE HiP MACHINE brings the music of Canada's favorite band the way it should be heard - LIVE!
Darryl Aspin of Hitcher fame, made his mark captivating audiences in the Durham Region with his strong vocal ability and high energy performance. The strongest lead singer of any HiP tribute, and one of the best in Southern Ontario. Behind Darryl is a band of talented musicians including dedicated guitarist Mike Rewegen, life-long drummer Seth McNamara and Firehall Captain Stephen Reid. Last but not least on lead guitar, we have Mike Marinuk - after 6 years as a founding member of another Ontario HiP tribute, and in search of a band worthy of the task he now showcases his abilities as our 'Robbie'. Performing leads identical to the albums and even from live HiP releases, the guitar driven sound and style of the Tragically Hip is a key element of The HiP Machine! The first to bring video to the HiP tribute stage, Mike along with THM continue to strive for more at every show. Giving audiences something they cannot get anywhere else.
Believe the hype or come see for yourself. Tragically HiP fans agree. Relive those memories of seeing the band live and join the show, a Tragically Hip Show!

CAPITOL CENTRE: RON JAMES - Not Nearly Done Yet!
until 10:00 PM @ Capitol Centre, 150 Main Street East, North Bay ON- Regular$80.00
RON JAMES - Not Nearly Done Yet!
With twenty-five years spent barrelling down endless strips of asphalt from coast to coast, RON JAMES, our nation's number one road warrior and newly minted senior citizen, is Not Nearly Done Yet! With his trademark poetically charged alliterative rants, performed with razor sharp timing, this award-winning comedian and best-selling author takes audiences on a marathon roller coaster ride in the language of laughs, charting a course through a politically polarized world out of whack. From the micro to macro, he tackles everything from the dating woes of Baby Boomers, embattled public health care, aging parents, food fads, exercise addiction, nostalgia, information overload, tropical vacations gone awry, New Age divas, homelessness crisis, climate change, corporate monopolies and gambling ads in hockey, to the rise of AI's robot revolution. The comedian the Globe and Mail called, ‘a man of a million words and a million laughs', contemplates what really matters most in a culture beset by runaway consumption… and it is us. The preservation of humanity's humanity. ‘Everything else is just a spoiler on a Dodge Neon'.

CAPITOL CENTRE: JUST LEPPARD - The ultimate tribute to Def Leppard
until 10:00 PM @ Capitol Centre, 150 Main Street East, North Bay ON- Regular$54.99
🎸 We are Just Leppard: The Ultimate Def Leppard Tribute Band! 🎸
Ever since we were kids, dreaming of rock stardom, Def Leppard has been our guiding light, igniting our passion with their legendary catalog of arena rock anthems. Their music has etched them into the pantheon of rock legends, inspiring us to chase our own rock and roll dreams.
Back in the '80s, our band Sweet Steeler clinched victory in the battle of the bands, winning the chance of a lifetime: to meet Def Leppard during their iconic Hysteria tour. That magical encounter set our hearts ablaze with determination, propelling us to tour across the US and Canada.
Fast forward to the '90s. Def Leppard was rolling through our hometown of Sudbury, Ontario, and we snagged tickets to see our idols live. But fate had a surprise in store. The local radio station got a call from their promotion company: the opening act couldn't make it. Desperate for a replacement, the promoter asked, "Who can fill in last minute in Sudbury, Ontario?"
Without hesitation, the radio station suggested Terra Cain—our band at the time. The stars aligned, and we seized the opportunity of a lifetime! We rushed to the arena for soundcheck, adrenaline pumping through our veins.
What a Night!
Opening for our rock and roll heroes in our hometown was beyond our wildest dreams. The night was electric, filled with unforgettable memories and the sheer thrill of sharing the stage with the legends who inspired us.
