UPDATE - 4/8@12:14PM: The Summerfest date/venue that Rush.com had listed is incorrect. It should be July 3rd at the Marcus Amphitheater as originally expected. The Summerfest website will be making the official announcement later this afternoon. I'm gathering information on pre-sales as we speak and will be working on loading all the dates into the tour section over the next few days.
UPDATE - 4/8@8:02AM: Here's the official press release announcing the tour (thanks lilvictory).
... Announced today, The Time Machine Tour is an evening with Rush, where they will perform their classics, give a taste of the future – and for the first time ever – feature the Moving Pictures album live in its entirety.
The band is currently working on their 20th studio album with producer Nick Raskulinecz (co-producer from 2007's Snakes & Arrows) and in addition to their classics plan to showcase a few new tunes live this summer. ... This summer's Live Nation promoted tour will visit approximately 40 cities throughout North America beginning June 29th in Albuquerque, NM and finishing October 2nd in West Palm Beach, FL with stops along the way in Boston, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Holmdel, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Toronto, Washington, and more ...
The release also includes the complete itinerary with a footnote saying Additional cities and dates to be announced. Itinerary subject to change. So we will likely see a few more dates announced before all is said and done.

The Rush countdown clock has ticked down to zero and with it came the big tour announcement! It's called the Time Machine Tour and includes 33 US dates and 4 Canadian dates. Tickets begin going on sale April 17th. It will be another evening with Rush format and they'll be playing Moving Pictures in its entirety! I included the complete itinerary below.
