RUSH blog RushIsABand report:

"The tour is over. Rush.com has just been updated with the following "Thank You" message to fans:

'Rush officially finishes the 2007 leg of the Snakes And Arrows Tour with a sold out performance in Helsinki, Finland. A very BIG Thank you to all the fans who made it out this year ... stay tuned to rush.com for all the latest updates.'

This sort of indirectly confirms a 2008 leg I'd say. Finnish Reader RAKA also let me know that in the Helsingin Sanomat (the biggest newspaper in Finland) a couple days ago there was a half page article where Alex Lifeson is interviewed. Lerxst says the following: 'We will take a break after Helsinki and continue the tour in April 2008, South and North America.'

A lot of folks have asked me about dates for the 2008 leg. At this time I don't have any information outside of what I reported back on September 3rd. But I can assure that as soon as I hear anything I will post it here. My guess is that we won't be hearing any official announcements until after the new year, but I'm hoping to get some leaked info early.

I'm turning off the special tour section on the home page for the time being. As soon as we have some firm 2008 dates it'll be back up there. You can still access all the tourdate information though by going to the tour section.

The fan tour image upload feature has been a huge success. Readers of this site have uploaded nearly 2000 images from the tour! A very big thank you to everyone who took the time to do this. If you haven't seen the gallery yet you can check it out here. And if you have any images to upload, click here.

I have yet to add videos for the European leg to the bootleg video section. I will try to do that in the upcoming week. To check out bootleg YouTube videos from the North American leg go here.

Oops... forgot one thing. Rush.com has also updated their Multimedia section with more Rush on the Road galleries from Glasgow, Newcastle, London, Sheffield, and Birmingham."
