Canada knows how to rock: Hilary Weaver, Eleven Past One and Danny Fernandes unite on the Breathe Again Tour
Mississauga became a bright spot on the Breathe Again Tour as three celebrated Canadian acts shared one stage in support of Danny Fernandes’ third studio album, Breathe Again. The living room-sized feel of the Living Arts Centre amplified a night you could feel in your bones: real musicians, real connection, and a crowd ready to sing along. It was a show built on collaboration, crafted to lift spirits, and punctuated by moments that reminded fans why live music still matters.
Hilary Weaver opened with a tone that blended pop and rock with a striking pop sensibility. The set drew heavily from her debut album Heart Breakout, and she carried it with the kind of confidence that makes a room tilt toward the chorus. Her voice held steady through the high-energy tracks, and the crowd clung to the title track, letting the hook carry them into the second verse as she kept the energy bright and unfussy. The moment wasn’t just about a few solid songs; it was about establishing a mood—one of fearless pop craftsmanship and an impulsive stage presence that suggested a rising star ready to take the next big leap.

Eleven Past One followed with a different kind of electricity, the kind that comes from a band that knows its audience and isn’t afraid to push a set into uncharted territory. They delivered seven tunes, weaving through old favorites like Tonight’s The Night with newer material that showcased a slightly more cinematic pop-rock edge. An inspired acoustic moment put a spotlight on the band’s versatility as they sat on the edge of the stage for This Is No Dream, turning the room into a more intimate listening space. The group closed strong with The World Is Ours, leaving the audience buzzing and ready for more. Source: Canadian Music News
Danny Fernandes stepped up to the mic with a confidence that felt earned, guiding the night through a survey of his recent work and selected highlights from the past five years. He opened with Fly Again (Broken Wings), a song that invites listeners into a journey of resilience, then moved through a curated set that drew from Automatic, Fantasy, and Kryptonite, among others. The performance worked as both a celebration and a shared memory, a line that fans could walk together from one beloved track to another. In a gratifying moment, Fernandes returned for an encore, revisiting Kryptonite as the crowd roared for one more song and a lasting impression of the night’s energy. Source: Canadian Music News
During the evening, both Fernandes and Eleven Past One spoke about a cause close to their hearts, World Vision. Fans were invited to participate in a charity effort by texting the keyword LOVE to 41010 to donate to education programs for children in North Sudan and Indonesia. The experience offered an interactive, tangible way to contribute, and the show’s organizers highlighted how sponsorships could bring a VIP meet-and-greet opportunity, a Danny Fernandes poster, a copy of Breathe Again, an Eleven Past One T-shirt, autographs, and a personalized video message from Danny. The moment underscored how concerts can blend music with meaningful social impact, a theme that resonated with attendees who came for the music and stayed for the purpose. Source: World Vision Canada
