The Tragically Hip Announce 2013 Canadian Tour; Stream Their New Album

Canadian stalwarts, The Tragically Hip, have just released their 12th studio album, Now for Plan A. The album hit number 1 in the Canadian charts, and number 129 on Billboard 200, which is actually their highest position on that chart in their history. Facts are fun! What’s also fun is seeing the Tragically Hip play live. I’m not just randomly mentioning that either, it is a very clever segue into this – the Tragically Hip have announced a Canadian tour in 2013. Spend Valentine’s Day with the Hip in Toronto, and convince your girlfriend that Gord Downie is Justin Bieber’s dad. Wait, is he?

Check out their tour dates below, where they will have The Arkells opening for them. A pre-sale will take place tomorrow at 10am local time. As a bonus, you can stream the album below or at The Hip’s website, in case you don’t have it just yet.
