Rush Extends 2026 Fifty Something Tour to 40 Cities Including Philadelphia

Prog-rock legends Rush, co-founded by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, have announced an extended 2026 'Fifty Something Tour' with 17 additional U.S. and Canadian cities, including major stops like Philadelphia, Boston, Washington D.C., and the Bay Area. This tour marks their first nationwide outing since 2015 and honors the legacy of late drummer Neil Peart, who passed away in 2020, with German drummer Anika Nilles filling in. Each concert will feature two distinct sets nightly, drawing from a rotating catalog of 35 songs that include their greatest hits and fan favorites. Due to overwhelming demand, tickets for the newly added shows will be available through presales starting October 27 and general sales beginning October 31, with VIP experiences and travel packages also offered. The band expressed gratitude for the warm reception to this comeback and excitement about performing with Nilles, aiming to reinvigorate their sound and connect with fans old and new. The tour coincides with the release of 'RUSH 50,' a super deluxe box set celebrating the band's enduring impact on progressive rock.
