Rush wraps up the first leg of its tour behind “Vapor Trails” later this month, but the veteran power trio is set to head back out in early September for the outing’s second leg.
The two-months worth of new dates kick off in the Canadian group’s home country, and stretch into early November. Tickets for several shows hit the box office on Saturday (8/17). (On-sale details will appear in SoundSpike’s weekly ”Ticket Window” feature, which is updated on Thursday evening.)
Rush’s current tour supports its May 14 release, “Vapor Trails"--the group’s first collection of new material since 1996’s “Test for Echo"--and is the band’s first tour in five years. The group recently released to radio the new album’s second single, “Secret Touch.”
Detailed information about “Vapor Trails,” including audio samples, can be found at the album’s official website. The band’s official website, meanwhile, features streaming video of the current tour’s opening night.
Rush--Geddy Lee (bass-vocals), Alex Lifeson (guitar) and Neil Peart (drums)--has released 22 albums, all of which have been certified gold or better by the Recording Industry Association of America, and has sold over 35 million albums worldwide, according to a press release. The group’s best-selling album is 1981’s quadruple-platinum “Moving Pictures,” which features the band’s most well-known hit, “Tom Sawyer.”
