Rush will visit Alpharetta as part of 40th anniversary tour

Tickets are on sale at 10 a.m. Jan. 30 for $40.50-$149.50. Tickets can be purchased at all Ticketmaster outlets, www.ticketmaster.com or by calling 1-800-745-3000. Fan club pre-sales are available now.

Rush stated that the concerts will highlight their four decades of music and noted that this will likely be their last tour of this magnitude.

While the tour ostensibly celebrates the 40th anniversary of drummer Neil Peart joining the band, that actually happened in 1974. But since Rush had recently wrapped its lengthy "Clockwork Angels" tour last year, the band opted to commemorate the anniversary in 2015.
