RENOWNED rockers Rush will be stopping off at The NEC Arena in Birmingham as part of their world tour.

The tour, which kicked off in America in June, supports the band's new album Snakes & Arrows, their first album of original material in nearly five years.

Since releasing their self-titled debut album in 1974, Rush have been universally regarded as one of the most inventive and exciting groups in rock.

Famed for virtuoso musicianship, epic soundscapes and dramatic lyricism the band have achieved worldwide sales exceeding 35 million albums.

Fans can expect to hear all the band's classic hits as well as the technical virtuosity and hard-rocking compositions Rush are known for.

The show is on Friday, October 12.

Tickets cost £45 from 0871 945 6000.
