A Night for Neil - The Neil Peart Memorial Celebration
New Date Announced for “A Night for Neil,” honoring the late drummer of Canadian band RUSH Due to multiple concerns and questions regarding the current travel restrictions in Canada, we have rescheduled our event once more so that our attendees are fully prepared for the new date. The comments and support from the fans have been overwhelming to say the least. It warms our hearts to hear of so many people that want to convene together and honor the man who has been an intricate part of our life’s portfolio, Neil Ellwood Peart.
“A Night for Neil” is now re-scheduled for Saturday, October 22, 2022 at the Meridian Centre in St. Catharines which happens to be a lovely time of year in Canada. This event has been carefully crafted by fans for fans and includes both memorial and celebratory segments. Our confirmed artists for the event
