Popular preschool entertainer Blippi is heading to Prince George.
The all-new Join the Band Tour makes a stop at the CN Centre on Thursday, Nov. 7.
"Blippi will be joined onstage by Meekah along with their singing and dancing buddies and live musicians. They’ll explore what makes music, including sounds, rhythms and instruments, with fan-favorite Blippi hits," states the announcement.
Tickets went on sale Tuesday, Sept. 24. For tickets and additional information, visit TicketsNorth.ca.
The show is presented by Round Room Live and Moonbug Entertainment. Blippi was created by Stevin John for YouTube in 2014 and became part of Moonbug Entertainment in 2020. In the Join the Band Tour shows, Blippi and Meekah will be played by professional stage performers.
“We are turning it up to 11 with the Blippi: Join the Band Tour this Fall,” said Stephen Shaw, founder and co-president of Round Room Live. “Blippi is a rockstar for today’s kids and has been delighting millions of children and families all over the world. A brand-new show that amps up the excitement to an even higher volume
with a live band onstage was the next logical step in continuing Blippi touring around the world."
Blippi tours have played in North America, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
"Following the success of previous tours, Blippi: Join the Band Tour will bring families to their feet across the country to dance and sing along to their favorite Blippi hits as well as some brand new songs," said Susan Vargo, head of global experiences at Moonbug Entertainment. “Parents and kids alike will share in making
music the Blippi way, with curiosity and silliness center stage!"
Blippi is aimed at children five and under and has more than a billion views a month on Netflix, HBO Max, Amazon Prime, YouTube and other streaming services. The series airs in 20 languages (including ASL) and has led to spinoff shows for characters Meekah and Juka, as well as an animated streaming show, Blippi Wonders.
