Rush 40th Anniversary
On May 8, Rush's 40th anniversary celebration officially began from the BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla., and as of June 24, fans in 19 cities have had a chance to experience the landmark venture that according to the band, “will most likely be their last major tour of this magnitude.”
The question of whether the trek is really serving as a farewell was recently addressed directly with Rush band members Geddy Lee, Neil Peart, and Alex Lifeson for the July 2 issue of Rolling Stone magazine, which surprisingly, marks the first time ever that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group has graced the cover. During the interview, the trio never fully said it's the end, but it was definitely apparent that it very well could be on the tour front at least, as they instead left the door open to something more along the lines of one-off shows and other isolated special events.
With that in mind, don't miss what could be the last chance to experience Rush on tour. Dates still remain for a number of cities, including July 25 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. For the show, Vivid Seats and Ultimate Classic Rock are offering one lucky Rush fan the chance to win a trip for two to see the band live in Sin City. The grand prize includes a two-night stay at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, a dinner voucher for one night, airfare for two, and two tickets for seats in the lower bowl.
