From the Rushisaband and therush forums.......This info came from Rushisaband :A couple months ago I reported that Rush will be playing several indoor dates in the U.S.& Canada in Spring of 2008, kicking off in March with a two or three night stand in Atlantic City. The tour would then move up the east coast to Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine and Atlantic Canada to wrap up the first set of dates before heading south for a handful of dates in late March through April, including New Orleans, New Mexico, Tennessee, Kentucky and Mississippi.
A few days later I reported that the band would end the 2008 leg in July with a headlining performance on the closing day of a concert commemorating the 400th anniversary of Quebec City. Now I've just obtained new information :It seems the tour will kick off in Atlantic Canada. They'll work their way south with the band playing the new Prudential Center in Newark for a metro NYC date, replacing the Atlantic City dates. As far as I know they will be hitting New Orleans, New Mexico, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi and points in between and also will be playing about a dozen dates in the Western U.S.
There's also very good news for our friends south of the equator, Rush will be playing several dates in South America. They'll be down there for nearly 2 weeks which likely means around 8 shows give or take. Brazil, Argentina, Peru and Chile are about 80% confirmed at this point. The also plan on recording one of these shows.
The official tour announcement will occur in the 2nd week of January with tickets going on sale at the end of Jan. and early Feb. They will be releasing Workin' them angels to coincide with the tour announcement and plan to release a video for the song which will use portions of the video recordings from the live DVD that was filmed in Rotterdam.
I'll end with this disclaimer: the above information is not yet official and could change. That said, my source has been very reliable in the past and I have no reason not to believe them on any of this information
See you all there and I'm doing several dates!!!!!!!!!!!!
