I've emailed the band, the venue, and done the "Demand The Hip" thing on Facebook.
Come play The Pageant in St. Louis. It's an ideal venue for your US tours and The Hip have a sizeable following among the college kids here in the Lou.
Never hurts to try. Have they ever played St.Louis? Maybe they will hit some places they havent before on this tour who knows?
good luck

There's a show from Mississippi Nights (which no longer exists) from back in the late '90s. I'd love to see them here.

Would it be crazy to predict the Hip being to the Sasquatch! Festival this year? They haven't played it since 2006 and they arguably saved the day in many respects. With the album coming out in April, the timing would be right.

That would suck Downsview is a crappy place. How about Kitchener Memorial Auditorium. and Lots of ourdoor festivals with lots of bands.
Plus my backyard is a good venue and I wont charge them any money to play there. They can stay at my place too. I will cook breakfast.

That would be cool.
I would like to see them play the Seattle Bumbershoot Festival as well.

According to radio station Power 97, Monday morning will be the announcing date of a Winnipeg show. They made it seem that if we hadn't heard the news already, we should listen in on Monday... Maybe we should be looking harder for a complete list of Canadian tour dates?

Speaking of which, check out the Song of the Day on thehip.com right now: Nautical Disaster from that show. Nice coincidence.

For fans in the Chicago area, 2 shows at the Vic theater are up on ticketmaster. May 26, 27.

sean.bonner - 02-27-2009
These multiple dates in theatres have got me praying for some Saint John / Imperial Theatre dates.
I know I've said it before, but holy fuck, that would be epic.
The Hip in my hometown, in the nicest theatre in Canada!

Looks like the Hip are coming back to Victoria as well. Local radio station says they have a 'huge' concert announcement monday, can't be anything else.
However, the announcer seemed to think it would be at the local arena, which doesn't seem to work with the rest of the rumoured datess
