Rush Announces Fall 2012 Tour Dates

Rush are currently planning a 33 city tour this fall. Find tour dates and more after the jump.

The tour will begin in September and run through the end of the year. The tour is in support of their latest record, Clockwork Angels (Anthem/Roadrunner Records) which will be released on June 12, 2012. It also goes hand in hand with the group latest single, “Headlong Flight.” About the single, singer/bassist Geddy Lee had this to say,

” ‘Headlong Flight’ was one of those songs that was a joy to write and record from beginning to end. Alex [Lifeson] and I had blast jamming in my home studio one day before the 2nd leg of the Time Machine Tour and I did not revisit that jam until a year later. Alex and I assembled the song to be an instrumental and it’s original title was “Take that lampshade off yo head!”   but once we saw the lyrics Neil had written for ‘Headlong Flight’, I knew that the spirit of the lyrics matched the instrumental perfectly and it was just a matter of making them fit and writing the melodies.”

Tickets for the shows will go on sale on April 27, 2012 on LiveNation.com and Ticketmaster.com.
