DANNY PEART (Canada) - Neil's dear brother will chat and recite some of his own poetry.
BRANDON DYKE (USA) - stunning guitarist, regular at RUSH fan events in USA and Canada, and one of the loveliest guys on the planet. Brandon will play an acoustic set and also accompany Danny Peart.
SALLY & XSENIA ZIVOJINOVICH (Canada) - Alex's sister and niece have some tales to tell!

SAT 10/5/25 - DRYGATE BREWERY, GLASGOW - 1pm till midnight -
KAROL & THE SNOW DOGS (Brazil) - Karol has one of the best voices on the planet, especially for early Rush - and the guys in the band play it all perfectly. You'll see why these guys (and girl!) are our Saturday headliners.
Raffles and Auctions.
THE SPIRIT OF RUSH (England) - a stunning 3-piece from the Midlands. These guys (no girl!) don't gig that often but when they do - holy faak! And they're the nicest guys on the planet (just like the vast majority of RUSH fans, eh!)
SUBSTITUTE (Scotland) - Who tribute. Drummer Michael Angus played for us as part of The RFS Allstars last year. And we all know the Who was a big influence on RUSH. A lovely "aural sorbet" to refreshen the Rush palate! (Editor - "WTF are you on Steve??!!" - Steve - "I'm high on Lifeson!!" )
THE RFS ALLSTARS (Planet Earth - mostly) - a set of Rush songs played by professional musicians - line-up changes every song!
MIKE MASSE (USA) - an outstanding acoustic artist, Mike has a huge following worldwide and tours constantly. He can play and sing anything (and does!) including a massive repertoire of Rush. Another one that can really hit the high notes - truly something special. You do not want to miss this opening act.
SUN 11/5/25 - DRYGATE BREWERY, GLASGOW - 2pm till 6pm -
OUTSIDE THE ORIGINAL - these guys and girl were a massive hit last year, we had to bring them back for more - playing a huge range of Prog covers - immaculately!
DAVID KING - guitar virtuoso, a regular RFS player, his original instrumental arrangements of RUSH songs have featured on all 5 volumes of the Songs for Neil albums.
