Carole Pope Live at The Mule Spinner
Date: Saturday, September 12
Location: The Mule Spinner, Hamilton, ON
Prepare for an unforgettable evening of raw storytelling, boundary-pushing rock, and pure alternative elegance as Canada’s original queer rock icon, Carole Pope, takes the stage live at The Mule Spinner on September 12. Joined by acclaimed guitarist Tim Welch, this intimate acoustic and interactive performance offers fans a rare, up-close-and-personal experience with a true living legend of Canadian music.
As the fearless frontwoman of the multi-Juno Award-winning 1980s band Rough Trade, Carole Pope didn’t just participate in the New Wave movement—she blew the doors wide open. Pushing the boundaries of sexuality, sexual politics, and societal status quo, Pope made music history with provocative, platinum-selling hits like "High School Confidential" and "Crimes of Passion." Decades ahead of her time, her unapologetic lyrics and commanding stage presence provided a vital lifeline for young queer audiences and paved the way for generations of alternative artists, including k.d. lang, Peaches, and Jann Arden.
This highly anticipated performance arrives at a historic moment in Pope's career. Her groundbreaking journey is currently taking center stage across the country with the release of the acclaimed feature documentary, Antidiva: The Carole Pope Confessions. After making its world premiere as the opening film at the Hot Docs Festival, the raw and rollicking film—featuring commentary from Peaches, k.d. lang, and Rufus Wainwright—is broadcasting nationwide on CBC and CBC Gem.
Don't miss this opportunity to see a Canadian Music Hall of Fame trailblazer reclaim her legacy in one of Hamilton's coolest, most atmospheric venues. Spanning four decades of gold and platinum hits alongside her latest compelling singles, Carole Pope’s performance at The Mule Spinner promises to be a masterclass in glam-punk defiance, authentic storytelling, and enduring musical power.
