For years, the Cygnus-X1.Net tour dates and setlist pages have been massive, static walls of text, a historical archive frozen in time. But much like Rush's own evolution, it was time for a major upgrade. We’ve officially rebuilt the entire Tour Dates and Set List sections from the ground up, transforming them into a fully interactive, database-driven experience!

On the new Tour Dates page, you are no longer just endlessly scrolling. You can dynamically filter tours by era or use the powerful new search tool to instantly hunt down specific venues, cities, or dates from the band's massive history. Want to see every time they played Madison Square Garden? It's just a keystroke away. Even better, every single date is now clickable, letting you jump straight from a specific show into the exact setlist the band played that night.

Over on the Set Lists page, you can now explore the master setlist for every single tour, meticulously broken down to show every night-by-night variation. You can also toggle your global view from the Top 10 to Top 100 most (and least!) played songs, or explore a beautifully redesigned visual grid of the studio gems that never quite made it to the stage. Ever wondered exactly how many times "Xanadu" was played? Click any song, or use the brand-new Song Search tool, to pull up a custom stats hub that calculates the band's entire live history, filtering out canceled shows and tracking every tour a song appeared on.

Go ahead and fall down the rabbit hole - we've got the data to keep you busy for hours!

Spent hours back in the day pouring over all the details in this great technical manual...

50 Years ago this week, Rush appeared on the cover of RPM Weekly with an - interesting - choice of photos. This was shortly after the release of 2112, which was already gaining serious traction by that point.
