The Fuse Celebrates 50 Years with Special Benefit Concert for Habitat for Humanity Manitoba

 Winnipeg, MB — Local rock legends The Fuse are marking an incredible 50 years of music with another benefit concert in support of Habitat for Humanity Manitoba (Habitat Manitoba) on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at The Park Theatre, located at 698 Osborne Street. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., with the show starting at 8:30 p.m.

Presented by Meridian OneCap, this concert marks the third consecutive year that The Fuse has collaborated with Habitat Manitoba to help raise funds that support local families on their journey toward affordable homeownership.

The past two benefit concerts in 2024 and 2025 raised nearly $100,000. Proceeds from the concert will help Habitat Manitoba continue building safe, decent and affordable homes for families across the province. Habitat’s unique mortgage model ensures every dollar repaid is reinvested into building future homes, making community support essential to creating stability and opportunity for families.

The Fuse are known for their tight musicianship, electrifying roots rock sound, and a devoted Winnipeg following, The Fuse continue to bring unmatched energy to the stage, an energy that has defined their five decades in music.

Audiences can expect powerful vocals, soaring guitar solos, and infectious rhythms that have made the band a staple of the city’s live music scene attracting the attention of Police front man, Sting, and sharing the stage with Elvis Costello, one infamous night in 1978 at the St. Vital Hotel. The Fuse toured across Canada and into the U.S. for many years before settling down in Winnipeg where they continue to write and record infectious music that has garnered critical acclaim.

The event is 18+ and offers partially seated / standing admission.

For those unable to attend, donations can still be made to support Habitat’s work across Manitoba.
