SONiC’s Big Fat Fifty is your favourite songs of 2016. This marked a new beginning for Red Hot Chili Peppers and welcomed Ohio-duo Twenty One Pilots. The Lumineers finally returned with their sophomore album and Edmonton’s Scenic Route To Alaska found a home on our airwaves. Sadly though a year most notable for a cancer diagnosis from The Tragically Hip’s Gord Downie. Tune in to Big Fat Fifty LIVE to hear these stories and more.
