Rush will finish up their 2-show Montreal stint at the Centre Bell tonight before taking a much-deserved 8-day break and picking things back up in Boston next weekend. We'll be expecting Rush to play a version of their Charlie setlist tonight, which means fans should get all of Moving Pictures in set 2. There have only been 2 versions of this setlist so far, with the only difference being that one includes A Farewell to Kings in place of Anthem, so I wouldn't be surprised if they vary it up a little more tonight. Other staples of that setlist so far have been Dreamline, New World Man, Closer to the Heart and By-tor and the Snow Dog for the encore. We'll keep an eye on things in case of any unexpected setlist changes. Rush's exclusive Montreal-themed t-shirt and poster are featured in this IG post, with early merch sales beginning at 3PM at the outdoor merch stand at Cours Rio Tinto (Place dea Canadiens). Doors open at 6:30 and the show starts at 7:30 (ish). Follow along for updates, and have a blast! Rush!!!
