Fans have proposed yet another way for the Tragically Hip to reach a wider audience this summer: perform on Parliament Hill as part of this year’s Canada Day festivities.

A Facebook page is trying to convince Canada Day organizers to book the band, whose summer tour is already sold out.

“Let's try to celebrate Canada Day with one of the best bands that ever came from Canada, The Tragically Hip,” creator Rich Bowie wrote on Facebook.

“I want to be there for the Hip. What could be more Canadian, eh?” wrote fan Linn Mulligan on the page.

Metric and Coeur de pirate are already booked to play the main stage at Parliament Hill on Canada Day.

Fans have blamed the ticket shortage on scalpers, and their outrage has sparked a number of movements aimed at getting the Hip in front of the largest audience possible.

Toronto city councillor Josh Colle suggested the band play a free show at Downsview Park, which can hold hundreds of thousands of people. Mississauga city councillor Nando Iannicca suggested that city’s Celebration Square could also play host to a Hip show.

Other fans have urged the CBC to broadcast the Hip’s final show in Kingston on Aug. 20, and the public broadcaster has said it is in talks with the band’s management to do just that.

In May, lead singer Gord Downie announced he has terminal cancer, and that this will likely be his last tour.

His doctor has consulted with the Hip’s management, and both believe he is healthy enough to perform this summer, provided he takes extra steps to avoid exhaustion.

The band’s latest album, Man Machine Poem, comes out tomorrow.
