The band expands the newly announced trek
Earlier this week, Rush co-founders Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson announced their return to the stage for a special 2026 headline tour, Fifty Something, in celebration of the band’s music, legacy, and the life of late drummer and lyricist Neil Peart. Due to incredible demand, the band announces additional dates in most cities. The band is adding two new dates in LA, Chicago, NYC, Toronto, and Fort Worth, and one additional date in Cleveland. These shows mark the first time Lee and Lifeson have toured together in eleven years, since the finale of Rush’s R40 Tour on August 1, 2015, at the Forum in Los Angeles, CA, bringing it full circle with a return to the Forum to embark upon these special shows.
Rush will perform multiple shows in 7 cities across Canada, the United States and Mexico, beginning June 7, 2026, at The Kia Forum in Los Angeles. These special “evening with” shows will find the band playing two sets each night. Each show will feature 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.
For Fifty Something, Lee and Lifeson will be accompanied by German drummer, composer, and producer Anika Nilles, who has performed as Jeff Beck’s drummer for over 60 shows and has released four solo albums.
Fans can participate in the Rush Artist Presale by Thursday, October 9th at 11:59 pm ET. The general on-sale begins here on Friday, October 17th at noon local time for the US & Canada, and 11 am local time for Mexico.
Rush invites fans to get closer than ever with three elevated offerings: an all-new VIP program, the first-ever 2112 Platform Experience, and curated Travel Packages for fans making a trip to see the show.
Additionally, Rush reveals the 50-track super deluxe anthology, Rush 50. The project is available in five distinct configurations, including the Super Deluxe Edition, Rush Store Exclusive Super Deluxe Edition, 7-LP Deluxe Edition, 4-CD Deluxe Edition, and Digital Edition. It represents the breadth of their discography, beginning with the first-ever reissue of their 1973 debut single and concluding with a live recording of the final song Lee, Lifeson, and Peart played together during the R40 Tour closer at The Forum.
