Canadian band the Constantines will celebrate their 10th anniversary at Lee’s palace on December 11-12, chartattack.com reports.

The Guelph-native rockers have enjoyed incredible success over the past decade in Toronto’s thriving indie scene, and have been compared to bands like The Clash and Nick Cave.

Pre-sale tickets, being sold through the Gallery A&C website, will include a download of the Too Slow For Love EP – the electronic-only companion to their last studio album, Kensington Heights.

For around $25, Constantines fans will enjoy a show that, as they said on the website, “will feature special guests, and many other surprises.” Sounds promising.

Regis Philbin will return as host of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” once the game show returns to celebrate its 10th anniversary in prime-time format.

The 77-year-old has received many Daytime Emmy nominations for “Live With Regis and Kelly,” and won in 2001 for “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.”

Throughout the years, Philbin has been nominated for a multitude of other awards including two People’s Choice Awards, a TV Guide Award (which he later won) and even a Teen Choice Award nomination in 2000.
