RUSH will be supporting the release of their forthcoming album, Snakes & Arrows Live (Anthem/Atlantic).

The set bowed at #3 on the Billboard charts upon its release last spring, plus its first single, “Far Cry,” was the #1 most-added song at rock radio and hit the Top 10 on the rock radio charts. Since releasing its self-titled debut in 1974, Rush has been universally regarded as one of the most innovating and exciting groups in rock. The band’s extraordinary body of work, which includes such acclaimed albums as 2112, Moving Pictures, Roll The Bones, Vapor Trails and more, has achieved worldwide sales exceeding 35 million units.
