I cannot believe it . 32 years into Rush, travelled to the UK and europe to see them, and now, at last, in Ireland. Feck the IMF, ECB, and the shaggin government, this has to be the greatest day in years. Any volunteers to form a reception committee at the airport?Jesus i still can't believe it

grimm2005

SWEEET!! and it (just about) doesn't conflict with exams!

Yeah, i was jelous of all those that were getting to see this tour as the setlist is just brilliant. The fact that this is an extension of that tour and not a new album tour is even greater news!

MoeJay

Ticketmaster indicates o2 priority tickets onsale next Wednesday but no further info yet.

Yup, seen the show in Kansas in July. Caravan absolutely ROCKS live :pac:

grimm2005

The poster indicates tickets will be €57.80, €68.70 and €79.25. Fingers crossed this is one of those gigs where standing is the cheapest (although I don't really care, its Rush!)

flickarius

Absolutely Fantastic News. Roll on May! C y'all there!

donalfo

Brilliant, been a fan for the last 20 years and never seen them live. Can't wait it's a long time coming.

JBnaglfar

This is amazing. The best band in the world finally comes to Ireland.

smcq

awesome, saves me going to England to see them again, way to bring an end to me feeling miserable about IMF!! :O)

JK9

Beauty. Wonder how quick this will sell out?

RayCon

Rush ... followed by The Wall .... May 2011 is going to a memorable month.

Im going to name it Viagra month !!!

Karl Hungus

****ing. Awesome.

Moving Pictures was my first Rush album I might add.

Numina

Galwayrush hasn't posted yet, but I'm sure he already knows and is currently busting his nuts over the news.

RayCon

O2 Presale starts on Weds at 9am .... tried txting RUSH to 51020 but got a message back saying "keyword not recognised" .... ah well , worth a shot.... must calm down .... must calm down !!!!

DAMN STRAIGHT. I'm a drummer myself and I just worship the man. I seriously cannot wait to see him play live.

Passenger

About time too. Hope they put on a typically ostentatious stage production.

Jordan 199

I'm going to go aswell, be it on my own or with other people. If I have to crawl all the way up, so be it!

Twilightning

A Facebook page for the event. Invite your friends!

flickarius

Oh Yes!! Can't wait for the Drum Solo! A living legend that man!:D

Just threw on Power Windows.

newcavanman

i was out in the truck today, had a live compliation i did myself on . i was stopped at roadworks, the van was shaking, sounds all the way up, turned to 11 as per Spinal Tap, shades on, and matching neil with a biro in each hand for drumsticks . Im sure i looked like a complete tosser, but i didnt give a damn . What a day!!!!!!!!!!!!

groovie

I've listened to Rush for almost 30 years, and they have never played here in Ireland.
As God is my witness I will attend the concert, and I will ****ing enjoy it. I'm not kidding people. You hear about 'defining moments', events in people's lives that stay with them throughout their days, this is one of those... I know you cannot equate it with life or death, but (pauses) THIS IS RUSH!

(I need to lie down)

rainbow kirby

Aw **** yeah.

Gogo O2 presale.

Mushy

Want.....presale............code............now!

Announcement on Nova was cool, love how he said 'everybody's favourite band':D Got Rush in Rio now too.

anyone???

Mr. CooL ICE

Ever since seeing Kiss live, I considered giving up gigs forever as I felt that no gig could ever be better than that, but this sounds like it might top it (slightly, I might add)

PeterIanStaker

Awesome!

Now all I need is cash!!

Test For Echo

And fair play to Matt Cooper for giving the Dublin gig a mention on his show yesterday. :cool:

Brendog

Just to see Geddy Lee......I cannot describe

My younger sister told me yesterday this had been confirmed but I didn't believe her.

My mam then rang today to tell me tickets are on sale this week. I also didn't believe her.

I checked ticketmaster, saw the tickets on sale and still don't believe it.

Seriously?! What the hell?! Rush in Ireland?! They're the only band I've ever traveled to another country to see. And I thought I might do it again for this tour.

Best news ever!

jellies

First album I ever bought was g/p...been to see them 3 times in UK...was expecting to have to travel again...brilliant news.
And I can still remember my mates winding me up saying Rush were coming to play in the SFX...:)

loyer

great news...i hope they sort the sound out in the O2...was at Maiden there recently...sound was'nt great.
