At this point in their career, Rush is one of the few bands that can do whatever they want . That includes touring for their 40th anniversary even though their first album came out in 1974 and they formed in 1968. The band announced earlier today that they’d be doing the “R40 Live” tour, celebrating 40 years. Maybe they’re not counting some of those years, like around the Roll the Bones era. Regardless, the prog standard-bearers still bring it live, and they’ve got more than enough songs to choose from. Tickets will be on sale on January 30th, which you’ll be able to get here.
