Rush and progressive metal fans are gathering for the unique numerological event known in North America as 2.1.12 Rush Day, a celebration of all things quirky, far-reaching, and progressive in heavy metal music. Events and special celebrations of Rush and progressive metal have been announced by fans, music stores, media and a host of radio stations across the US and Canada. 

After four decades of progressive heavy metal, 2112 is probably the first record which can rightfully be called progressive metal, so it's only appropriate that fans blast the album from their rooftops, their cars, their iPods, everywhere, to celebrate this landmark record and Rush's incredible longevity and lasting influence.
