Nahko and Medicine for the People celebrate the 10th anniversary of their album HOKA with re-recorded versions of fan favourites.
Nahko and Medicine for the People are playing Empire Control Room & Garage on Thursday, October 8, 2026. The show is part of a tour marking the 10th anniversary of his album HOKA, and the set is built around that record.
Ten years is a long time to live with one album, and Nahko is marking the milestone by returning to it. Rather than just playing the songs as they were recorded a decade ago, he's bringing re-recorded versions of the fan favorites from HOKA to the stage. If you've had those tracks on repeat since the original release, this is a chance to hear them shaped by where he is now.
It's a specific way to approach an anniversary—going back to the studio to rework the songs before taking them out on the road. The re-recorded versions will be the core of the night, so the set leans heavily on HOKA rather than pulling from across his whole catalog. If those are the songs you know best, you'll recognize them, but they'll sound different from the versions you've lived with for the last ten years.
