About a month ago, I heard a solid rumor (as opposed to just regular rumors I guess) that the Tragically Hip were coming down to cayman to play a concert for their 30th anniversary. I kept my mouth shut because hey, who likes to spread rumors and false hope? In the past few days I've heard a few more people talk about it, and then this morning Paul had it written on the "news plate" on the front counter at Paperman's Coffee House that they were going to play at Safehaven on May 1st. That sounds pretty specific which leads me to believe that it might actually happen.

Unlike the whole Gretzky/Messier/Lowe/Cementhead visit last year that got pushed back twice before being called off, this one seems more of a Halo 3 rumor than a Duke Nukem Forever vaporware statement. No word on tickets or anything yet, but that's gotta be coming soon if the show is May 1st.

Note to JMG: If you really want to take a census of all the Canadians living in Grand Cayman, then you'll have your chance on May 1st, if this actually happens :)

Update: It's been all over the radio all day, so I guess it actually is happening. As Lee posted in the comments, it's even on their own site.
