Legendary Canadian progressive-rockers Rush will hit the road for an extensive North American run beginning June 28.
On its first tour since 1997, the band will be traveling the continent into the fall. Tickets are available beginning April 20.
The tour will follow closely the May 14 release of Rush’s 17th studio recording, “Vapor Trails.” The album’s initial single, “One Little Victory,” is already enjoying success on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. Produced by Rush and Paul Northfield, who is known for his work with Hole and Marilyn Manson, the album is the first studio effort from Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart since 1996’s “Test for Echo." The band's most recent release was a 1998 live set titled “Different Stages.”
