Not as defunct as we were led to believe....

Alex is the heart and soul of Rush for me, there's no replacing that even if Neil was still alive. Geddy - possible, but still a stretch.

All 3 of them were the heart and soul of Rush.  I've said it before...I was second off the rail at the Wembley Taylor Hawkins gig...a really enjoyable set with 2 brilliant and very different drummers...and it was still a little jarring and not as good without Neil.  You need all 3 of them on the stage.

Yes, they are coming to Europe, and the rest of the world it seems

Glad I didn't push the button on a couple of the Canadian dates.

Will do Manc and London and possibly another European one on the continent.  Or maybe two.

I'm Out.

Might do Oslo/Stockholm/Helsinki just for old time's sake - without the concerts!

Oh well, fate has stepped in for me. I'll be at my old aunt's funeral on Friday when the tickets go on sale, so it'll be YouTube and a DVD at some point.😢

I'll have a look on pricing for the Amsterdam tickets. It has to be within reason.

Any word on pricing yet?  Hope they've learnt from the US that they shouldn't overcharge.

Would have been so excited about such an announcement in the past, now its all a bit meh

If I do manage to get in I hope the performance is less tired than the standard of jokes in that video. They need a new scriptwriter.

They did not list prices for Amsterdam yet, but if they go overboard I'll skip or try ticketswap at the day of the event.

It's probably a good move on their part to sell the next wave before the initial shows begin. Sorry if that sounds a bit negative. I still want them to be brilliant but they'll be another year older.

Aww shit

The first batch of US dates did sell out, so they've probably learned that they should.

Actually, I might do, Mrs S is on half term that week and I've wanted to take her to those three cities, the boy keeps going on at us to go to Norway as he has friend there and Ryanair do good flights to Oslo's second airport.

I figured, just as AI what the expectations might be:

based on the 2026 US tour prices, the USD vs EUR exchange rate and past relationship between the aforementioned, can you predict ticket prices for EU (Amsterdam) and UK shows?

Based on 2026 US tour data showing ticket prices starting between $292 and $398 for high-demand shows, Rush (if touring) EU/UK tickets will likely start around €150-€200 (approx. $160-$215) for Amsterdam and £130-£170 for the UK, assuming a 1:1.08 EUR/USD rate and standard European pricing, with premium seats exceeding €500+
.
Predicted Pricing Breakdown (2026 Estimates)

    EU (Amsterdam - Ziggo Dome/Arena): Base tickets are expected to start in the €150–€250 range, considering VAT and lower base pricing relative to USD, with premium seating often exceeding €400-€500 for high-demand legacy acts.
    UK (London - O2 Arena): Due to high venue costs and high demand, expect entry-level tickets to be roughly £130–£200, with top-tier seats in the £350–£600+ range.
    Exchange Rate Factors: The 2026 USD/EUR exchange rate remains relatively strong, meaning USD-based ticket demand directly inflates European prices, often keeping nominal prices high even after conversion.

These estimates assume a similar, extremely high-demand, limited-engagement model seen in the 2026 US "Fifty Something Tour" announcements.

We'll see. I am not paying 150 EUR for a nosebleed.
