RUSH - Official Tour Announcement Coming March 26th, Pre-Sale Info March 27th
March 21, 2007, 17 years ago
RUSH Is A Band reports:
"I've heard from a reliable source (sorry - can't reveal who) that Rush will be making the official announcement of tour dates this coming Monday, March 26th. I've also heard that they'll announce the dates via a press conference in New York City. And no - I don't know any details beyond that.
Warner Music Group, who owns Atlantic Records (Rush's US record company) is based in New York - if that means anything. Maybe they'll be announcing the dates there? I really don't care where they announce them - I just want the dates! Personally I hope I'm completely wrong on this and they instead release the dates sooner. If so, I will gladly eat my virtual hat. :)
I've also obtained information that pre-sales will begin next Tuesday, March 27th for selected cities and that musictoday.com will conduct the pre-sale similar to how it was done in 2004. This is to say that they'll email info (a url and password) out to their email list which you can signup for at Rush.net. I didn't participate in the pre-sale on the last tour, so I'm just going by what others have told me. So please share any info you have about the pre-sale in the comments.
