Your Guide to Dwayne Gretzky New Year’s Eve 2021

Tonight Will Be a Night to Remember, Literally and Virtually

At long last we can all say goodbye to 2020. We’re eager to tip our hat to what’s been a weird one, and we acknowledge that it has been (and continues to be) a struggle for many.

For the moment at least, Dwayne Gretzky is feeling grateful. Not only are we thankful to be able to play music together again after such a long time, but we’ve been excited to get creative and think about our band and the experience we help create in a whole new context.

That’s why we’re elated about tonight. It’s going to be a Dwayne Gretzky show like none other. The idea of pushing ourselves has always motivated us. Whether it’s to learn new songs, or in this case, a whole new medium. A live Dwayne broadcast!

Aside from it being virtual with viewers from across the country and beyond, it’ll also be the longest show we’ve ever played – and we’ve done some doozies. It’ll be roughly 55 songs from start to finish, from midnight in Newfoundland all the way until midnight in BC.

So all that to say, we hope you don’t miss it.

Below is a guide to some extra info and details so you can get the most out of it.

If you have the means, we recommend the following for optimal experience:

  • Put us on the Big Screen: It’s on YouTube so it’s accessible on a big any smart TV fairly easily. Or use an HDMI cable, Chromecast, Apple TV, or the like.
  • Put us on the Speakers: Connect the audio to your best home audio system or other quality speakers for optimal listening experience. We’ve made sure it’s worth the effort.
  • Turn it up: If your neighbours complain, just send them the link to the show :)

Have your say! Hear what you want to hear. We’ll be running a poll linkable here where our viewers can vote on the last song of each set throughout the night – 5 in total!
