Great news for Vancouver's old-school rock fans: Rush has just announced that it will play Rogers Arena on July 17.

Can I get a fvckin-AAA!!!

Here's some promotional bumph:

Over the course of their amazing career, Rush has lived a lifetime together, providing an influential soundtrack to many of their fans’ lives. Some have been with them since the start, while others have discovered them along the way and delved into their incredible body of work.
To quote Dave Grohl from their momentous induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, “Rush built their following the right way. No hype, no bullshit, they did it from the ground up. Their legacy is incredible and their influence undeniable.”
After 40 years together and 20 gold and platinum studio albums, Rush is ready to celebrate with the most loyal fans in the world by embarking on their 21st tour, one which will most likely be their last major tour of this magnitude. Celebrate four decades of music with three incredible musicians--all in 1 night.

There will be no opening act.

Rush doesn't need no stinkin' opening act.

Tickets for the show go on sale Feb. 6 at www.livenation.com.
