Rush are Coming!

Sherman, fire up the Time Machine!

Rush have announced the 2010 Time Machine tour featuring a full performance of the album Moving Pictures. The band plans to release a two-song EP this year, followed by a complete album in 2011. The album release will be followed by a second tour in 2011. As usual, the band will play a three-hour show, with two sets and an encore. There will be no opening act (which is a good thing for us Rush fans that remember Vinnie Moore and Candlebox.)

And yes, that means that Rush will be playing The Camera Eye, a song which is the most requested by Rush fans.

This is kind of like what the boys did a few years ago when they toured for their 30th anniversary (the R30 tour) which got the band "warm" to record Snakes and Arrows, their best studio record since 1993's Counterparts.


Rush are also celebrating the release of the documentary Beyond the Lighted Stage. Made by acclaimed Canadian filmmaker Sam Dunn (Metal: A Headbanger's Journey) the movie offers archived footage and a series of interviews with Jan Wenner's least favorite band.

Tickets are already on-sale with dates being added. More information and tour dates are available on Rush.com.
