What are the chances of the Hip signing up for this show? (if it comes to be)
I think they are guaranteed to be there given the cause and how they feel about humanitarian efforts.

My apartment is open if anybody needs a place to crash. I've got a futon AND a toilet.
Seriously though, if this thing goes through and the Hip are part of it, I can provide a crash pad.
Hmm....I MIGHT have enough money to do it. However, got a promotion and might not be able to take the time off. I will certainly try to make an effort. Get the futon ready Dame.

As of right now, there is NO live 8 show, as the Government put the Kibosh on it for Ottawa.
Had they approved, the boys would have been there!

Canadian Live 8 concert details Thursday, lineup 'spectacular': organizer
TORONTO (CP) - An announcement concerning a Canadian Live 8 concert will be made Thursday, say organizers who've been working furiously to assemble musicians for a Canuck event.
"We are expecting to announce tomorrow, in a big way. That's what we're kind of working towards," said Sharon Marshall of World Vision, which is involved with Canada's Make Poverty History campaign. She said a venue has been secured although she wouldn't reveal which city would host the historic concert.
"It's not Ottawa . . . I can tell you that the lineup is spectacular. I can tell you that. And that Canadians will be really proud of it."
Marshall said concert promoter Michael Cohl will be involved in making the announcement Thursday.
This has prompted speculation that the Rolling Stones, who will be practising in Toronto for their upcoming tour, will be part of the show.
Live Aid mastermind Bob Geldof is behind this summer's concert bashes which will be held in Philadelphia, London, Paris, Rome and Berlin on July 2.
With U2, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Sting and Sarah McLachlan among the performers in those cities, Geldof's banking on the star-studded event raising awareness of poverty before leaders of the wealthy G-8 countries - which include Canada - meet in Britain.
"There are going to be lots and lots of ways for Canadians to be engaged in the purposes behind this concert," said Marshall.
"This concert is designed to put pressure globally on the G-8 leaders to make major changes in the way we're tackling poverty as a world."

I was just thinking that. If the Hip are involved, and the rest of the lineup is noteworthy, I shall definitely be there.
