SOMETHING coming from Rush camp on Thursday at 7:00 AM ET

A countdown clock splash page is now the first thing you see when you enter rush.com. It's set to hit zero at 7:00 AM eastern time on Thursday morning.

It's gotta be tour dates, right? Or an album announcement? Or maybe a download of one of the new songs they're working on?

The announcement of the "Time Machine Tour"

http://www.rushisaband.com/

Yesterday at 7AM Rush.com posted a splash page which has a countdown clock that's counting down to 7AM tomorrow. It's assumed that this will be the official tour announcement along with tour dates. While we wait for the clock to tick down to zero, it looks like some official news regarding the tour is starting to trickle out from different media outlets. New Jersey's Star Ledger reported the following early this afternoon (thanks chipper01967):

... Rush will perform at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel on Sept. 3, with tickets going on sale April 17 at 10 a.m. Call (800) 745-3000 or visit LiveNation.com.

Rush will also perform at the Nikon at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, New York, on July 24. Both shows will be part of the band's Time Machine Tour.

Time Machine Tour?? I guess we now have a name for the tour! This seems to go along with the Rush.com countdown clock's vault theme, and bodes well for those of hoping for a B-sides tour.

B-sides? RUSH has no B-Sides.....they have their 2 demo tracks, a couple of covers they did early in their career, and Fancy Dancer and Garden Road....that's it. :? :lol:

From Rush.com

Tickets for Rush go on sale in select markets beginning April 16th at LiveNation.com


(Toronto – Thursday, April 8th 2010) - Rush – Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart – is without question one of the most inventive and compelling groups in rock history, equally famed for both its virtuoso musicianship and provocative songwriting.

Announced today, The Time Machine Tour is an evening with Rush, where they will perform their classics, give a taste of the future – and for the first time ever – feature the Moving Pictures album live in its entirety.

The band is currently working on their 20th studio album with producer Nick Raskulinecz (co-producer from 2007’s Snakes & Arrows) and in addition to their classics plan to showcase a few new tunes live this summer.

“We were off for a year and a half, and now it's just pouring. Everything is totally crazy and there's not a minute left in the day. We've got these half-dozen songs, and we'll probably go in the studio and work on a couple of them and see how it goes, perhaps release something – and I say perhaps – and then we plan on being on the road,” says guitarist, Alex Lifeson.

This summer’s Live Nation promoted tour will visit approximately 40 cities throughout North America beginning June 29th in Albuquerque, NM and finishing October 2nd in West Palm Beach, FL with stops along the way in Boston, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Holmdel, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Toronto, Washington, and more along the way (complete tour itinerary follows).

Rush has sold more than 40 million records worldwide and garnered untold legions of devoted and admiring fans. According to the RIAA, Rush's sales statistics place RUSH third after The Beatles and The Rolling Stones for the most consecutive gold or platinum studio albums by a rock band.

Released in 1981, Moving Pictures was their most successful album, certified 4x Platinum and features some of Rush’s most well known songs and perennial radio favourites Tom Sawyer, Limelight and the Grammy-nominated instrumental YYZ.

“Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage” a documentary created by filmmakers Scot McFadyen & Sam Dunn (whose filmography also includes: “Iron Maiden; Flight 666,’ “Metal, A Headbangers Journey” and “Global Metal”) will premiere at New York’s Tribeca Film Festival on April 24th followed by the Canadian premiere at Toronto’s Hot Docs festival on April 29th. The band was also recently showcased in the comedy “I Love You Man” where they play themselves in a concert scene featuring actors Paul Rudd and Jason Segal as ubra-fans, a performance which has exposed the band to a whole new generation.

Inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame this past March alongside Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and the Guess Who, Rush has also been nominated for multiple Grammy awards and won a number of Juno Awards. They were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994 and bestowed the Order of Canada in 1997. Consistently celebrated and respected worldwide, Rush is the most successful Canadian rock band of all time and they remain one of the biggest grossing arena rock bands ever.




Tickets for Rush Time Machine Tour will go on sale beginning April 16th in San Francisco, Uncasville, Saratoga Springs, Denver, Chicago, Wantagh, Seattle and Holmdel at Livenation.com. Tickets for performances in Milwaukee, Sarnia and Syracuse go on sale April 17th, check local listings for ticket information.


Citi® cardmembers will have access to pre-sale tickets through Citi's Private Pass® Program beginning April 13th in select markets. For complete presale details visit www.citiprivatepass.com.
