After a couple of successful shows at Miami's Hard Rock Live over the past few days, Rush makes there way across Florida to the State's west coast to play the first of a pair of shows at Tampa's Benchmark International Arena this evening. The band seems to have flipped their setlist rotation from B-C to C-B now, so we're expecting Rush to treat fans to their C(harlie) setlist tonight featuring Moving Pictures in full. This set has seen very few changes for all of the 2nd shows over Rush's run of 2-nighters in North America, so we don't anticipate any surprises. Full expected setlist here. The Tampa-themed merch for tonight's show is featured in this Instagram post and early merch sales start at 4PM at the trailer located in Thunder Alley on the main entrance plaza. The doors open at 6PM and the show starts at 7:30 (more like 7:45). For everybody going to the show, have a blast!!!
