The prayers of music fans in Western Canada have been answered. Legendary Canadian rock band and future Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Rush have added additional dates to their Clockwork Angels tour, which now includes summer stops in Vancouver and Calgary. Rush fans – and there are certainly many of them – initially decried the band’s omission of Western Canada for their first run of the tour last fall.
The new dates include July 24 in Calgary, followed by a July 26 appearance in Vancouver. Tickets go on sale February 22, but fans can buy Rush tickets in advance with ShowTimeTickets.com.
