Rush goes out with 'Snakes & Arrows'

The itinerary has been announced for Rush [ tickets ]'s Snakes & Arrows World Tour, which has the prog-rock power trio traipsing across North America and Europe from mid-June to late October.

The 45-date North American run, Rush's first since the group's 30th anniversary jaunt in 2004, kicks off June 13 in Atlanta and hits cities all over the US and Canada through Sept. 21. Those shows are listed below. The European leg, which is detailed at the band's website, picks up Oct. 3.

Tickets for most markets go on sale this Saturday (3/31).

The outing supports Rush's forthcoming album, "Snakes & Arrows," which is due May 1. "Snakes" is the band's first set of new material since 2002's "Vapor Trails." It was recorded last fall with Grammy-winner Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver) sharing production duties with the band.

The album's recently released first single, "Far Cry," was the No. 1 most-added song at rock radio and has scored a Top 10 spot on rock-radio charts, according to a press release. The cut is streaming at Rush's website.

In their more than three-decade career, the Canadian rockers have achieved worldwide sales exceeding 35 million units, according to a press release.

Rush is up for a Juno Award next month for its "R30" DVD set, which captures the band's 30th Anniversary Tour stop in Frankfurt, Germany.
