RUSH Announces 2026 Tour: See The Full List Of Dates

RUSH is returning to the stage. The band's co-founders, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson have announced their 2026 headlining tour, "Fifty Something," in celebration of RUSH's music, legacy and the life of late drummer and lyricist, Neil Peart who passed away in 2020.

The "Fifty Something" Tour marks the first time Lee and Lifeson have toured together in eleven years since the finale of RUSH's "R40 Tour" in 2015. In a statement, Lee explained of the upcoming 2026 trek:

"It’s been over 10 years since Alex and I have performed the music of RUSH alongside our fallen bandmate and friend Neil. A lifetime’s worth of songs that we had put our cumulative hearts and souls into writing, recording and playing together onstage. And so, after all that has gone down since that last show, Alex and I have done some serious soul searching and come to the decision that we fucking miss it, and that it’s time for a celebration of 50-something years of RUSH music. So in 2026 my BFF Lerxst (aka Alex Lifeson) and I are going to hit the road once again to pay tribute to our past and to Neil by performing a vast selection of RUSH songs in a handful of cities. No small task, because as we all know Neil was irreplaceable.

Yet life is full of surprises, and we’ve have been introduced to another remarkable person; an incredible drummer and musician who is adding another chapter to our story while continuing her own fascinating musical journey. Her name is Anika Nilles, and we could not be more excited to introduce her to our loyal and dedicated RUSH fanbase, whom, we know, will give her every chance to live up to that near impossible role. Before we hit the stage, we also hope to add another musician or two to expand our sound a wee bit and free up Alex and I, in order to show off some of our new fancy dance steps.

Lerxst, Anika and myself, along with many of our longstanding crew members have been hard at work rehearsing and designing the kind of RUSH show you’ve grown accustomed to expect from us. We dearly hope you will come along and help us celebrate our history together."

Kicking off on June 7th in Los Angeles at The Kia Forum, the tour will make stops across North America, including Forth Worth, Chicago, New York and more, before wrapping up in Cleveland, Ohio on September 17th. According to a press release, fans can expect two sets each night featuring "a distinct selection of songs and RUSH will build each night’s setlist from a catalogue of 35 songs including their greatest hits and fan favorites."
