Rush Announce 2026 Fifty Something Reunion Tour

Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson announced the "Fifty Something" reunion tour for summer 2026, their first live dates since 2015 and since drummer/lyricist Neil Peart’s death in 2020. The 12‑date, seven‑city North American run opens with two shows at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on June 7 and June 9 and concludes in Cleveland on Sept. 17, with stops including Mexico City, Fort Worth, Chicago, New York (including Madison Square Garden dates) and Toronto. German drummer Anika Nilles will handle drumming duties, and Lee and Lifeson said they may add additional musicians to expand the live sound. Peart’s widow and daughter have publicly supported the tour, which the duo frames as both a celebration of over 50 years of Rush music and a tribute to Peart’s legacy. The announcement coincides with commemorative releases — including a greatest‑hits collection, "Rush 50," released earlier this year — and presales are set to begin in mid‑October with general tickets on sale Oct. 17.
