The Generation Gap Deal

Grandparents, it’s time to prove that music really was better in your day!

Buy a ticket to The Dreamboats and bring one grandchild for free. Introduce them to the soundtrack of your youth, back when records were vinyl, phones stayed attached to the wall, and “streaming” meant finding a good fishing spot.

Show your grandchild what music sounded like before auto-tune, playlists, and skipping a song after the first five seconds. It’s your chance to share some great memories and prove that Grandma and Grandpa really do know how to rock!

One ticket, two generations, and a whole lot of great music!

Offer valid for one complimentary grandchild ticket with each regularly priced grandparent ticket purchased.

🎶Coming to an Arts & Culture Centre near you! Odds, part of the Arts & Culture Centre Presentation Series 2026/27 Season.

Odds burst onto the Canadian music scene in the early ’90s with their rambunctious, self-produced major-label debut, quickly establishing themselves as a distinctive voice in alternative rock. In just a few short years, they cemented their place at the forefront of a generation of ’90s alternative and indie pop-rock bands, defined by sharp, darkly ironic lyrics and irresistibly catchy hooks.

Known for enduring hits like “It Falls Apart,” “Someone Who’s Cool,” and “Make You Mad,” the band continues to evolve. With their recent album “Crash the Time Machine,” Odds prove their creative spark remains as strong as ever—exploring new sonic territory while staying true to their signature sound that first connected them with audiences. 🎸✨

📍Tour Dates:
•January 22—Stephenville
•January 23—Corner Brook
•January 25—Labrador West
•January 27—Grand Falls-Windsor
•January 28—Gander
