The '''Time Machine Tour''' was a [[concert tour]] by the Canadian rock band [[Rush (band)|Rush]] that began on June 29, 2010 in [[Albuquerque]], [[New Mexico]] and ended July 2, 2011 at [[The Gorge Amphitheatre]] in [[George, Washington]]. The tour was notable for featuring the album ''[[Moving Pictures (Rush album)|Moving Pictures]]'' played in its entirety for the first time live, as well as material from the band's then upcoming studio album ''[[Clockwork Angels]]'' (i.e. the songs "[[Caravan (Rush song)|Caravan]]" and "BU2B", which had been released as a single in early June 2010).<ref>[http://rush.com Official Rush website]</ref><ref>[http://newyork.timeout.com/articles/film/84998/alex-lifeson-interview Alex Lifeson Interview]</ref> This tour is one of three where the setlist has been consistent throughout the entire tour, the others being the 1987 Hold Your Fire tour and the 2004 [[R30: 30th Anniversary Tour]]. This is also the first Rush tour to not include any songs from ''[[Roll the Bones]]'' in the set list since that album was released in 1991.

As a tribute to the city that first played their music on the radio, the [[Cleveland]] performance at Quicken Loans Arena on April 15, 2011 was recorded/filmed and released as a DVD, Blu-ray, and double CD titled ''[[Time Machine 2011: Live in Cleveland]]''. This is the first official full-length live performance filming of Rush in the United States.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.music-news.com/shownews.asp?nItemID=38015 | title=Rush to film Cleveland performance for DVD release | publisher=MusicNews.com | date=December 7, 2010 | access-date=August 1, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=161226 | title=RUSH: 'Time Machine 2011: Live In Cleveland' DVD Pushed Back To October | publisher=Blabbermouth.net | date=July 27, 2011 | access-date=August 1, 2011 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111015022527/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=161226 | archive-date=October 15, 2011 | df=mdy-all }}</ref>
