BleedingPurist Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I'll be headed to Irvine tonight and I'm wondering if there is an opening band or what time Rush actually hits the stage. Should I expect Rush will actually start at 7:30? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 LOL! Rush hasn't had an opening act in quite a while.... CP tour was the last opening act I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdog Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 No opening act and the boys normally hit the stage within 15 minutes of the time on the ticket. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy Thanks guys! I knew there probably wasn't an opening act, but wanted to be sure. This is my first Rush show! I usually time my arrival for just before the main band actually hits the stage, which in most cases is at 8:45. That would be quite tragic if I tried that tonight. So promptness to the stated time on the ticket it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So promptness to the stated time on the ticket it is! No, don't mess around, Rush is a pretty regimented band, it's rare for them to start more than 15 minutes late. We got there at 6:30 and had a few drinks before finding our seats around 7:00-7:15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldRod Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 No opening act. At KC, they started about 10-15 minutes past the starting time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 When I saw them in Saratoga Springs the showtime was 8:00 and it started just about on time. Their basic concert format is the first set lasts a little over an hour and then they take a 15-20 minute break then the second set is almost 90mins. Enjoy your first Rush show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 No opening act but there may be a pre-show short film. A comedy, so I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spok Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 the opening act started sometime about 8:00pm in 1995? they probably had a 45 minute set and there was 30-45 minutes between for takedown and setup and Rush came on about 9:30 ish and played till about 11:00 or so... that was then.

LeaveMyThingAlone Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 They started around 8:00PM last night, a half hour late, which is typical for Irvine. Every time I've seen Rush here, the ticket says 7:30 and they start at 8:00PM. Irvine has a long and hilly walk to actually get to your seat...first timers there dont anticipate it. At 7:30, I'd say the place was about 2/3 full, but by 8, when they came on, it was full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boots Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I'm glad they don't have one. Waste of time and MY money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
