A disgruntled fan of the rock band Rush has been thrust into the limelight after he sued the band because one of their shows was canceled due to rain.

Christopher Langone filed has lawsuit against the band after Rush canceled its July 7 concert at Northerly Island in Chicago, according to a report by the Chicago Sun-Times.

Mr. Langone, a one-time Chicagoan, had flown from New York to attend the concert by his favorite band. After the show was canceled amid bad weather, he filed the lawsuit charging breach of contract. The suit argues that Rush should have played despite the rain, as the show was characterized as a “rain or shine” event on the ticket stub.

Mr. Langone's lawsuit—which seeks class action status—asks for reimbursement for the tickets he bought—six at $80 each—$250 airfare for and funds for round of beers he bought at the venue before the show was canceled, according to the Sun-Times. Mr. Langone thinks the lawsuit will reach class action status given the list of grumbles by other fans in online Rush forums.

The concert has been rescheduled for Aug. 23 at the same venue.
