Rush Adds 17 Cities, Expands 2026 ‘Fifty Something’ Tour to 40 Dates

The run reunites Geddy Lee with Alex Lifeson, featuring drummer Anika Nilles in a tribute to Neil Peart.

Overview

  • Newly added stops include Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston, Montreal, Washington, D.C., Seattle, Atlanta, Edmonton and Vancouver, bringing the full itinerary to 40 arena shows.
  • The tour runs June 7–December 15, 2026, opening at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles and closing at Rogers Arena in Vancouver.
  • Artist presale registration for the new dates closes October 23 at 11:59 p.m. ET, with the Artist Presale starting October 27 at 12 p.m. local and general on-sale October 31 at 12 p.m. local.
  • Citi cardmember presales run October 24–26 for U.S. shows, with American Express presales on the same dates for Canadian shows.
  • Lee and Lifeson said they were “blown away” by demand as the initial dates sold out, urged fans to buy through official channels due to reseller price inflation, and noted two-set shows drawn from a 35-song pool.
