Rush to Perform Live at Ford Center April 26

Rush will be performing live at Ford Center on April 26 at 7:30 pm.

Formed in Toronto, Ontario in 1968, the Canadian rock band Rush has influenced modern musicians such as Metallica, the Smashing Pumpkins and Primus as well as progressive metal bands such as Dream Theater and Symphony X.  The band has become known for their instrumental virtuosity, complex compositions and eclectic lyrical motifs which draw from such topics as science fiction, fantasy, libertarian philosophy and addresses humanitarian, social, emotional and environmental concerns.

The band has received multiple Juno Awards and was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994 while individual members of the group have been recognized for their musical talent on their instruments, earning them several awards individually through magazine readers’ polls.

Rush has 24 gold records and 14 platinum records placing Rush fifth in place, behind the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Kiss and Aerosmith for the most consecutive gold and platinum albums.  The band also falls 77th on the list in US albums sales.  They are tied with Nirvana, ZZ Top and Faith Hill, says the RIAA.

A multipurpose indoor sports and concert arena, the Ford Center is located in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.  The 586,000 square foot facility first opened on June 8, 2002 after three years of construction.  The venue accommodates 19,675 through four seating levels in addition to 3,380 club seats, seven party suites and 49 private suites.

The venue is the home of the Oklahoma City Blazers of the Central Hockey League and the Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz of af2.  The center has also hosted professional wrestling shows, like Unforgiven 2005, as well as several touring concerts.
