Tonight marks the long-awaited kickoff of Rush’s highly anticipated four-night residency in the Windy City. After a stressful few weeks of uncertainty following the brief tour hiatus due to Geddy’s recent illness, word from soundcheck is that the boys are back in rare form, fully recharged, and ready to tear up the stage.
Chicago has always held a legendary status in Rush touring lore, and this week’s stand only cements that bond. Tonight’s opener marks the band’s 31st performance in the city. That rich history makes Chicago the third most visited city in Rush’s entire touring career; sitting just behind Atlanta at number two, and, of course, their beloved hometown of Toronto holding down the top spot.
For those of you holding tickets to any of these four consecutive dates, expect an absolute masterclass. If the early legs of this tour were any indication, the energy in the room tonight is going to be electric as the community welcomes them back to the stage healthy, loud, and firing on all cylinders. Stay tuned to the site for set list updates, photos, and full night-by-night breakdowns as they happen!
