I have no idea how Gord is going to find the strength to do a full tour.
My dad's brain cancer went from diagnosis-to-death in 8 months, and by month 4 he didn't have the strength to do even little jobs around the house like vacuuming.
I'm still gutted by this news. I'm losing my dad and my favorite singer to Brain Cancer in the same year. God damnit.
I think by it being an "only" a 10 city, 11 stop tour, he probably doesn't have the strength to do a full tour.

For most cancers, yeah.
Brain cancer is a beast. Trust me. I've seen it up close and personal. It's nothing like the rest of them.
The extra sad thing is with brain cancer, you lose the person far before they actually die. They become someone else. It's a brutal, harsh, heartbreaking way to die.

Got 4 tickets to see Gord and his boyos... presale... even though I think TicketSatan was actively trying to mess with my interwebs browser...
I was on early, and then first thing it opened to get tickets in Kingston.... I live 5 blocks from the Krock centre.
Yeah not ONCE did the "find best seats for you" successfully find me ANY tickets whatsoever. I am pissed.
Ticketmaster is such a ****ing piece of ****.
/edit/ just saw your reply in the other thread.
I'll try again on Friday and worst case scenario Stubhub it is.

With a comment like this, I really wonder if you know any of the bands listed. Coleman Hell, Metric and Coeur de Pirate are all very solid.

I'm definitely not complaining, because I like Metric and CDP. That being said, it just feels like they have both been here a lot in the last few years (for some reason I'm thinking it was even for Canada Day festivities). A little bit of variety wouldn't hurt
Hopefully they step up the musical acts a little bit for the 150th next year, but I definitely don't have any issues with the lineup this year (not that I'll be venturing downtown anyways).

So sorry to hear that, at the moment my closest friend's wife is dying of cancer & it's just a terrible tragedy at such a young age but it's not the first person we have seen lose their battle with cancer. My dad also died from cancer but my mother died from a stroke & Alzheimer's is pretty bad too in that you think they know you one second & in the next breath they are talking about something that happened fifty yrs ago & are wondering where their mother is. It was very sad to see my mother who was a very strong woman paralyzed down the left side of her body & in a wheel chair with half a mind coming & going from the present to the past & then eventually not be able to do or say anything.
It's incredibly tough to watch your parents who you thought were invincible shrivel away & we are unable to do anything about it, it's a harsh reminder that life can be very difficult at these times. I wish you all the strength you can muster during this very difficult time for you & your family. Take care Bonk.

Has anyone had any luck getting tickets? Someone just texted me that it's already sold out and I'm still in cue on capital tickets.
Tickets for The Tragically Hip are on sale now
Currently, there is NO INVENTORY AVAILABLE for The Tragically Hip. Check back at a later date as tickets often become available as the event date nears.

I know it's a longshot, but if anybody has a pair of tickets for the London show that they are selling, or know anybody that is, please PM me. I'm trying to avoid the scalper pricing if I can. Thanks!

The CityFolk lineup looks pretty good, a lot of bands to discover in that lineup.

It's a pretty good lineup. That Sept 17th show looks particularly great. The New Pornographers and Dan Mangan are great shows.

Just a few days until Bluesfest starts, who's excited? Anyone lol? I'm looking forward to Schoolboy Q and The Lumineers I guess.
Of the limited number of acts I was planning on seeing during the festival, two have just been cut from the lineup, so that's great. Freddie Gibbs is dealing with his issues in Europe, so I figured for weeks that he wasn't coming. Also Brandi Carlile is no longer on the bill. Not sure why she's out.
Also, if you're behind on the news, DFA1979 were taken off the schedule a while back.

If it was 1997 I might be interested.
I remember what a big deal it was when Edwin left IME. Is OLP worth seeing without Taggart on drums? Either way, I was never a huge fan of either band.
