Tentative Rush Tour Dates!

[True Believer]

Thanks to Arlene for this heads-up. Please note NOT CONFIRMED at this time.

Canadian rock trio RUSH is rumored to have scheduled the following live dates in support of their forthcoming new studio album (provisionally titled "Snakes and Arrows"):

Jun. 13 - Nashville, TN @ Starwood Amphitheater
Jun. 15 - West Palm Beach, FL @ Sound Advice Amphitheater
Jun. 16 - Tampa, FL @ Ford Amphitheater @ Florida State Fairgrounds
Jun. 18 - Atlanta, GA @ HiFi Buys Amphitheater
Jun. 19 - Charlotte, NC @ Verizon Wireless Amphitheater
Jun. 27 - Mansfield, MA @ Tweeter Center
Jul. 02 - Wantaugh, NY @ Jones Beach Amphitheater
Jul. 04 - Darien Lake, NY @ Six Flags
Jul. 07 - Homdel, NJ @ PNC Arts Center

It should be noted that these dates have **NOT** been officially confirmed by the band or its management.

In other news, the first single from RUSH's upcoming album is expected to be "Far Cry" (or "Farcry"), and it is set to go for radio adds on March 13.

RUSH's new album is expected to be released late spring/early summer via Atlantic. The tracks were put to tape at Allaire Studios in upstate New York with co-producer Nick Raskulinecz. "I have never enjoyed the recording process so much, nor been so satisfied with the results," drummer Neil Peart wrote last month on his web site.

Peart previously told Billboard.com some of his lyrics for the new songs were inspired by his motorcycle journeys throughout the United States, chronicled in the recent book "Roadshow: Landscape with Drums".

"Just seeing the power of evangelical Christianity and contrasting that with the power of fundamentalist religion all over the world in its different forms had a big effect on me," he said.

I will bet they come to Minneapolis too.
I may see them twice like I have Yes.

It would be convenient for me if they'd push that Nashville date to the weekend.

It'll never be "Tweeter" to me---it will always be Great Woods....

Did I tell you about the time I went deaf for a few hours after seeing America in concert at Aloha stadium? I kid you not.

Earplugs are now a staple at every concert I attend.

As many, I am waiting for the offical North American Tour Dates. Not wanting to jump the gun, per say. Rush has been to the Northwest on every tour so far, I am sure they will again. Waiting to see how many shows I will be able to go to, if only one show, that will be great too. I am sure of it, Keep the spark alive.

Desperately seeking a Phila PA date..I hope

[heartofthesunrise]

I'm looking for at least two dates; Great Woods is middle of the week, I can leave work early. Jones Beach is a weekend, and PNC might be doable if it turns out my vacation is that week. I love it when a plan comes together. Can I get an amen?
