The Tragically Hip says more tickets for their highly-anticipated tour will be released on Tuesday after the Canadian band gave their show design a facelift so they can add additional seating.
There will be only a two ticket limit and they go on sale at 10am local time in cities across the country.
The announcement comes after “overwhelming demand” for the band’s Man Machine Poem tour when news broke that lead singer Gord Downie has terminal cancer.
Downie was diagnosed with an aggressive, incurable form of cancer called glioblastoma in December and has since undergone surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
The Hip are scheduled to play in the following cities on the following dates:
Victoria: July 22
Vancouver: July 24 and July 26
Edmonton: July 28 and July 30
Calgary: Aug. 1 and Aug. 3
Winnipeg: Aug. 5
London, Ont.: Aug. 8
Toronto: Aug. 10, Aug. 12 and Aug. 14
Hamilton: Aug. 16
Ottawa: Aug. 18
Kingston: Aug. 20
The official release of the band’s Man Machine Poem album will happen next week.
