The number 2112 has become synonymous with Rush over the years due to their breakout 1976 album of the same name. And since today is the 21st day of the 12th month - written as 21/12 in many parts of the world - Rush fans over the years have dubbed it as an unofficial Rush holiday of sorts (it also happens to be the Winter Solstice too!). Happy International Rush Day everyone! So as a tribute to our favorite prog-rock trio, on this Rush Day 2025, let's don our Rush apparel and listen to the Holy Triumvirate all day long. We have a lot to celebrate as Rush fans this year, with Rush's Fifty Something tour coming up next year, so crank up the Rush music and smile. To make it especially significant, do something extra special at exactly 9:12PM this evening; 21:12 in military time. Happy #RushDay everybody!!!
