yyz305 Posted February 23 Posted February 23 I'm very happy for everyone, but Australia and New Zealand miss out again. Frustrating!
Sir Lerxst Posted February 23 Author Posted February 23 Indeed - I live in Australia and sad to see that we're missing out - though I have to say not unexpected given they've never been here. Anika seems to fit in with the guy's sense of humor too. Also - they've rather quietly announced Loren Gold as the keyboard player.

I attended the Dream Theater show in Sydney last week, and I was astounded at how many people I came in contact with mentioned that Rush has never been to Australia, and how they wish they could go, ...
Brava Doh! Posted February 23 Posted February 23 At this point, who knows though…they coild add Aussie and NZ dates at the end of it all someplace.

arthurhasantos Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Hi, it's said "Exclusive Artist Pre-Sales for Rush Fan Club and RushBackstage members begin Tuesday, Feb 24". Does anyone know what Rush Fan Club they are talking about? Thanks!

Lurkst Posted February 23 Posted February 23 (edited) Not shocked to see this but surprised Europe is that early in the year, there's no schedule break at all. Maybe they only have Anika signed up for so long? Also a very extensive European leg, first visits to Denmark, Poland and Switzerland, plus a widespread German tour (I guess there may be extra interest with Anika featuring). Italy, last played in 2007, France in 1992. Yet only three UK cities featured. Edited February 23 by Lurkst
BastillePark Posted February 23 Posted February 23 In light of tremendous ticket sales, they managed to hastily add a few dates around the world. So random, right?

grep Posted February 23 Posted February 23 I'm really happy for everyone outside NA who will be able to see the band play. Awesome! 1

PAFHumbucker Posted February 23 Posted February 23 (edited) Is that the first video we’ve seen of Geddy and Alex along with Anika? Edited February 23 by PAFHumbucker

Italy, last played in 2007, France in 1992. Yet only three UK cities featured. To illustrate the unusual* schedule , I went through all previous years of European dates and looked at the percentage of shows in the UK:- Year (UK gigs/Total Europe) % UK 1977 (8/9) 89% 1978 (14/14) 100% 1979 (21/29) 72% 1980 (18/18) 100% 1981 (9/18) 50% 1983 (10/17) 59% 1988 (7/10) 70% 1992 (6/14) 43% 2004 (6/14) 43% 2007 (7/15) 47% 2011 (6/12) 50% 2013 (5/10) 50% 2027 (4/18) 22% * - I appreciate very little concerning Rush now could be considered 'usual'
Lurkst Posted February 24 Posted February 24 In for Glasgow. Prices ok by current standards for the upper sections. Absolutely ridiculous if you want on the floor near the stage though From what I've seen all the continental European shows are fully seated. Used to be able to get some moshpit action at those, sadly no more
starscreamsrevenge Posted February 24 Posted February 24 I've got 2 Front Row "Limelight" packages for London on the first night the 16th!!! Expensive I know, but it had to be done!!! The Backstage Tour with the rig rundown should be AMAZING! My Dad's got an idea of something he wants signed, I need to think about mine. Anyone else had any joy for the UK shows? 2
Alexmai Posted February 24 Posted February 24 I'm going to Milan... 316 euros maybe is the best compromise... at 97 you're far, at 2018 you're front but on the other side...
