RUSH - Complete List Of Cities/Venues For Snakes & Arrows 2008 Tour Revealed
December 19, 2007, 16 years ago
RushIsABand.com has issued the following update:
"Just last week RUSH officially announced the 2008 extension of the Snakes & Arrows tour. They confirmed that they'd kick off the tour this spring in Puerto Rico and teased us a little by revealing a few of the cities the tour would cover. I was hoping that I'd get some advance information on more cities/venues and specific dates before year's end. Well... I haven't managed to get any specific dates yet but I did get my hands on a complete list of the venues the band plans on hitting. The list is not in any particular order as the exact dates and routes are still being determined. Venues that are still pending a final decision are indicated with an asterisk (*), while all the other venues are essentially confirmed. The band is also leaving the option open for a second show in Puerto Rico if needed. Again - the list is not in order (except for the Puerto Rico show).Go to this location for the list of cities (scroll down).
The pending New Hampshire show would be at the Verizon Wireless Arena (added to the list) sometime in July. That brings us up to 48 possible venues! However, from what I know, there will probably be no more than 43 actual cities covered - so 5 or so of the pending venues will likely be dropped. This will all be based on geography and availability; for instance - if the Rhode Island gig falls through than the New Hampshire gig is more likely to happen and vice versa.
The Jones Beach show is set for July 14 (Bastille Day!).
The band is still penciled in to play the Quebec City 400th anniversary celebration in the week of July 4th - but nothing is definite yet. Also, the original plan was to close out the tour here but that doesn't seem to be the case any longer."
