Dr. Rocktopus: A Tribute to Big Shiny Tunes 2
Winnipeg’s hottest party band, Dr. Rocktopus is paying tribute to the best selling Canadian compilation album of all time, Big Shiny Tunes 2, on Saturday, September 27, 2025 at the Park Theatre.
Big Shiny Tunes 2 wasn’t just an album; it was a rite of passage for a whole generation of Canadians. It was the soundtrack to basement parties, late night Much Music binges and driving around with the windows down.
On September 27, we’re throwing it back hard at the Park Theatre with a whole night dedicated to the most iconic rock compilation this country ever heard. Expect wall-to-wall bangers from bands like The Prodigy, Blur, Radiohead, and Marilyn Manson plus tracks from Canadian bands like Bran Van 3000, Wide Mouth Mason, The Tea Party and Holly Mcnarland. It will be loud, messy, nostalgic, and fun as hell.
Dr. Rocktopus will perform the entire album live from top to bottom, and then afterwards they’ll keep the fun going with a massive set, stuffed full of electrifying dance-rock, party anthems and mash-ups from the 90s, 00s and beyond.
Throw on your wallet chains, cargo pants, baby tees or frost your tips and rock it like you did back in the day.
This event is part of the Park Theatre’s 20th Anniversary celebrations, and this one’s going to be a blast from the past you won’t want to miss.
