Great news! Recently spoke with an arena promoter in Canada. Asked if he heard anything on The Hip coming around this year, and he said he tried to get them but was told they're opting for multiple dates at theatres instead.
Here's to hoping the setlists will be similar to past theatre tours!
9 Hip shows in 6 different venues
2007-01-20 - Winnipeg - MTS Centre
2009-09-10 - Winnipeg - Centennial Concert Hall
2011-07-07 - Winnipeg - Shaw Park
2012-12-01 - Fargo - Fargo Theatre
2013-01-26 - Winnipeg - MTS Centre
2013-01-28 - Brandon - Keystone Centre
2013-09-06 - Moose Jaw - Mosaic Place
2015-02-14 - Winnipeg - MTS Centre
2016-08-05 - Winnipeg - MTS Centre

That is excellent news if true. Although we should probably brace ourselves for what will likely be some outrageous ticket prices. Arena pricing was bad enough. Just imagine what they'll be charging for smaller theatres. Yikes! My bank account shudders at the thought.

Any news floating around if a new record is coming out in the spring (March)? I wonder if there are US and Canadian shows this year being that they toured pretty extensively last year.

Sure would be great to see a "Winter Fling" or "Spring Fling" type tour before a new album comes out.
Hard to believe its been 10 years since the amazing Summer Fling theatre tour.

Great news. Hopefully theater tour means much better setlists than we've seen the last few years.

Sounds like at least the first leg of Pearl Jam's tour will be announced today. Sorry Hip, there goes my vacation time and concert budget.

Interesting - I'm not sure they've extended the theatre tours to the Maritimes - if they do one I hope we don't get overlooked!

I have always thought that they should play the Imperial in Saint John.
I would travel from Ottawa to Saint John for this if it happened... However I don't think the boys think too fondly of my hometown.

Do they still do shows at the Cunard Center down at the Peir? I've seen some great shows there (Feist, Queens of the Stone Age, 54-40, Sammy Rob Rob, Matty May May, JPs Emergency Band) and always thought it would be a great Hip venue!
