Rush extends world tour into summer
Having recently completed their highest-grossing tour to date, Canadian prog-rock vets Rush are preparing to hit the road hard again this spring.
The extended "Snakes & Arrows World Tour" will launch April 11 with Rush's first-ever appearance in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and then trek through more than 45 cities across the US and Canada. The itinerary is listed below.
The outing will bring the band to a host of cities it hasn't played in more than a decade, including Winnipeg; New Orleans; Oklahoma City, OK; Reno, NV; Moline, IL; Boise, ID; Austin, TX; and Orlando and Jacksonville, FL
Fan-club presales begin Jan. 22 and American Express cardholders will have access to advance tickets in select cities beginning Jan. 26. Further information is available at Rush's website.
The band continues to support its May release, "Snakes & Arrows," which debuted at No. 3 on The Billboard 200 and became Rush's 11th Top 10 album in the US. A track from the set, "Malignant Narcissism," is up for a Grammy Award in the "Best Rock Instrumental Performance" category.
The album is Rush's first collection of new material since 2002's "Vapor Trails." The rockers are planning to release a live version of "Snakes & Arrows" in April, according to a press release.
