If this is a go, I am going to this show for sure. This is awesome news.
Yeah, I sure hope this is true. Just a short drive down for me, get my bro and a couple mutual friends to join me, it will be a hell of a night! :jump
And the Headstones as opening act? Unreal!!

A reunited Headstones?? Interesting. What happened to the Hugh Dillon Redemption Choir? Don't they have a new record coming out soon?
I've just heard the same rumor from a very good friend.
Pretty frekin sweet of The Hip to "christen" the New Arena !!
seating 6000 .
Will be doing my best to get into this one too !
Presale ?
Coincidence, I really think so... but on the webcam page of the city of Kingston's site for the arena, there's a banner on a rendering of the new arena, that states "the hip are live tonight".

Hey guys, just wanted to pop in and say hi. As for the rumours, they are just that, still rumours. Beleive it or not, even the Hip opening is still a rumour. Nothing has been said officially. But it only would make sence that they open the arena that they were a big part in getting built. Here are the officail words so far.
The LVEC Rumour Mill
When: February 23, 2008
Where: LVEC
According to an article in The Heritage, Managers of the LVEC have all but confirmed that the Tragically Hip will play the first concert in the new venue when it opens mid-February. Rumour has it that the band is expected to headline the gala show on Saturday February the 23rd, while unidentified artists are being slated for opening performances.
Oh I should say that i work for the City of Kingston and I also work for KROCK 1057 as their photographer.
Zeineth !!!
Kevin here ... you sure get around dude!
Thanx for the info , will be keeping an eye out for any further updates on this potential show.
The HIP in their home town ... that's going to be HUGE !
If it is a happening event I hope your "shootin" it 8)
Well, I was suppose to get married on this date. And I'm no longer getting married. In my day planner, I have "find something to do that will clear your mind." This show is just the solution.
Kingston rock city, here I come.
Cheers,
Pat
Man, I don't wanna pry. But if anyone deserves t'go to this show, it's you.
I could see it happening. i mean, Rob was one of the key guys in supporting the building of the arena...
