The Rush Tribute Project plays H-E-B Performance Hall at the Tobin Center on Friday, June 12 — and the room is exactly right for the material. Rush tributes don’t belong in clubs. The catalog is too dense, too layered, too structured around the album experience to work in a standing room. A performing arts hall is where this show should happen, and the Tobin’s H-E-B stage is the right call for it.
The San Antonio date falls inside a nine-city Texas and Oklahoma run spanning June 4 through 14, threading through Dallas, Houston, Midland, Lubbock, and El Paso before the Tobin Center, with Austin’s Paramount the following night and Corpus Christi closing it out. So you’ve got options on the Texas leg — but there’s something right about sitting down for a catalog this dense rather than shouldering through a crowd.
About The Rush Tribute Project
RTP has been running since 2013 and the lineup is serious work. Sean Jones handles vocals, bass, and keys — covering Geddy Lee’s notoriously demanding parts across the full catalog. Jones is classically trained with more than twenty years of Rush tribute experience, including RushCon performances and a touring run through army bases in Kuwait. Bill Heck anchors the Alex Lifeson side of the sound — a 37-year veteran and 2017 WAMI Award recipient for best guitarist through the Wisconsin Area Music Industry. Drummer Thomas Slawnik has been with RTP since the founding, started playing at age four, and runs a custom kit built on Rush’s R30 tour configuration.
What distinguishes RTP from the tribute circuit’s more casual entries is scope. They cover forty-plus years of catalog using vintage instruments, multi-camera projections, and production scaled to the rooms they’re booking — and this 2026 national run of 28 dates, running through November across the Midwest, Mountain West, and California, is the clearest signal yet that they’re operating at the top of the tribute tier. A recent April 2026 setlist confirmed “2112,” “Tom Sawyer,” and “Xanadu” in play. Not the radio set — the full reach of the catalog.
The Venue
Tobin Center for the Performing Arts is at 100 Auditorium Circle in San Antonio. The H-E-B Performance Hall seats 1,746 and is an A-list room on the Texas circuit — the kind of space that handles serious production riders without friction. It’s exactly the room RTP’s multi-camera projection setup was built for.
