Primus to cover Rush's 'A Farewell To Kings' in its entirety on tour

Primus have announced a summer tour in which they will perform Rush's A Farewell To Kings in its entirety. The A Tribute To Kings tour will be supported by Wolfmother, The Sword and Battles.
 In a statement, Primus bandleader Les Claypool had the following to say on his band's admiration for Rush:

"Geddy, Alex and Neil had been superheroes to Larry, Herb and I in our teens," Claypool recalled in a statement. "So when we all became pals while touring together in the early 90's, we were pretty delighted; partially because of the musical geek-out factor, but mostly because the three guys whom we had admired so much from afar, turned out to be truly great, down-to-earth humans, and like us, a tad eccentric."
