Following the success of their 2007 tour, Rush is back on the road in 2008 in support of the album Snakes & Arrows, Rush will perform live Tuesday, July 22 at 8 p.m. at the new amphitheatre being built just off Ga. 400 in Alpharetta as part of their "Snakes & Arrows World Tour."

The Rush concert will feature an updated set list from the Canadian trio'sr 2007 outing. Since their early days in Toronto, singer/bassist Geddy Lee, drummer Neil Peart and guitarist Alex Lifeson have blended aggressive arena rock with cerebral tones that have resulted in some of rock's most memorable songs. The trio has hits including "Fly By Night," "Tom Sawyer," "Limelight," "New World Man," and "Working Man."
The latest studio CD from Rush is 2007's Snakes & Arrows, which includes the Grammy-nominated song "Malignant Narcissism", nominated in the category Best Rock Instrumental Performance. Rush is slated to release a live album this spring.
