A non-album tour will hopefully open the back catalogue up during set list selection!

I am sure they will throw in some new tracks like concerts before NFPA came out.

I would hope it would be small venues like the WATS tour or was it WC where they opened up the catalog...that was a great tour but been a while.

Maybe try the Metallica thing & get people to vote for the setlist?
Or maybe not...

I don't think the new record will be out that soon. If this is a non-album tour it could mean a couple things.
- full album shows - I usually don't like these and I think they're gimmicky, but if it's centred around the 20th anniversary of Day For Night, I'd have trouble arguing with that.
- acoustic shows - less likely but if they were ever going to try it, a between-album tour seems like a good time for it.
I just hope they stay out of arenas in Canada. In Winnipeg last tour there must have been less than 10k at the show. I read a review for Edmonton that said attendance was 9000. At the show in Winnipeg in 2011 scalpers were giving tickets away the day of the show. Arena shows are fine but it's not a great atmosphere when it's 2/3 full.

The Hip met recently to work together for four days. Also, Gord and Billy said the band is currently planning a tour which will take place in January & February of 2015.

Johnny is also saying February, starting in Toronto.
