For complete presale details visit  www.citientertainment.com .   RUSH initially announced dates in seven major North American cities, and all the dates in the U.S. and Canada have sold out. These new dates have been added due to the incredible demand for tickets on those dates.  The band shares in a new video , “we are blown away from the response to the announcement we made a few weeks ago that we’re going back on tour. I cannot tell you how surprising and overwhelmed we are and the way you guys have welcomed Anika Nilles. It’s been very heartwarming, and I know that she’s very appreciative of that. We’re even more excited to get back on stage and play with her and to go through the plethora of songs that we’re planning.” These shows mark the first time Lee and Lifeson have toured together in 11 years since the finale of RUSH’s R40 Tour on Aug. 1, 2015 at the Forum in Los Angeles, bringing it full circle with a return to The Forum to embark upon these special shows.

It represents breadth of their discography, beginning with the first-ever reissue of their 1973 debut single and concluding with a live recording the final song Lee, Lifeson and Peart played together during the R40 Tour closer at The Forum.

Selling over 45 million albums worldwide, garnering seven GRAMMY Award nominations, tallying billions of streams and earning induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame , the pioneering trio’s incalculable influence has spanned generations, attracting one of the most ardent audiences in history. These musicians effectively reimagined and redefined rock without boundaries, striking a balance between elite instrumentation, anthemic vocals, provocative lyricism and timeless storytelling both sonically and thematically. RUSH notably achieved “the third most consecutive gold/platinum studio albums by a rock a band behind only the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.” Furthermore, their accolades have included becoming Officers of the Order of Canada in 1996, achieving the Canadian Governor General’s Performing Arts Award in 2012, and receiving recognition with both a star on the Canada Walk of Fame and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

First juvenile sawfish born at SeaWorld Orlando moves into public habitat, giving guests a rare chance to see this critically endangered species up close. SaWorld Orlando is marking a major conservation milestone, as the first time ever, a juvenile smalltooth sawfish named Axel, born at the park is moving into a guest-facing habitat at the Manta Aquarium. Axel is part of a historic trio of sawfish pups born in 2023 — a rare and significant event for a species that’s critically endangered. Now, guests will be able to see this remarkable animal up close, giving the public a front-row seat to an inspiring conservation story in action. “This moment is the culmination of years of collaboration, dedication, and discovery,” said Dr. Dana Lindemann, Veterinarian at SeaWorld Orlando. “By bringing this young sawfish into view, we can inspire future generations, while continuing to advance critical research and contribute to the recovery of this species.” Check out the latest  theme park news and updates  from Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, SeaWorld Orlando, LEGOLAND Florida, and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. A Rare Birth with Global Impact Sawfish births in human care are incredibly rare. SeaWorld Orlando is currently the only aquarium in the U.S. to care for smalltooth sawfish and just the second in the world to successfully welcome pups. Since their birth in July 2023, the pups have been thriving behind the scenes, growing to three times their birth length and offering scientists valuable insight into how these mysterious fish mature and develop. National Conservation Efforts Smalltooth sawfish once thrived in U.S. waters but saw their numbers plummet due to habitat loss and accidental catch. They became the first marine fish protected by the U.S. Endangered Species Act in 2003. Today, they’re mostly found in Florida’s coastal waters and chances to see one up close are almost unheard of. SeaWorld has provided long-term care over the past 30 years for adult sawfish, including the parents of these offsprings. SeaWorld serves as active participants in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Survival Plan and working with partners to protect and study these extraordinary animals. The move to the Manta Aquarium opens a new chapter in that work, connecting everyday guests with a species most people will never see in the wild… while contributing to research that could help secure their future.
