Earlier this week the Rock Band news site RockBandaide.com posted a rumor that Rush's 2112 would soon be coming to Rock Band DLC. It looks like that rumor was partially true in light of the news that the Rock Band website announced this morning the release of a Rush 3-pack for Rock Band DLC which will include The Spirit of Radio, Fly By Night and Caravan. They also hinted at more Rush releases for the near future, so 2112 may still be on the docket for a forthcoming release. The pack will release next Tuesday, December 13th. From the Rock Band website:

Three tracks from Canadian rockers Rush are set to hit the Rock Band Music Store on December 13th! “Fly By Night,” from 1975’s album of the same name kicks off the pack, followed by a live cut of Rush’s “The Spirit of the Radio,” one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s “500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll.” The pack is rounded out by “Caravan,” which was released as a single earlier this year. These three tracks are just the tip of the iceberg for Rush fans; we’ll have even more exciting Rush/Rock Band news before the year’s out, so stay tuned!

Rush's 2112 was the centerpiece of last year's Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock and several other Rush tracks have been made available for both Rock Band and Guitar Hero games over the past few years. Thanks to USB Connector for the heads up.
