Overview
- The limited arena itinerary spans seven cities in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, with multiple nights in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and Toronto and a finale in Cleveland on Sept. 17.
- The tour opens June 7 at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, the site of Rush’s final 2015 show, before stops in Mexico City and Fort Worth.
- Each date is an “evening with” performance of two sets built from a rotating pool of 35 songs, with a planned nightly tribute segment to Peart.
- Former Jeff Beck drummer Anika Nilles will handle drums for the run, with public support from Peart’s widow Carrie Nuttall-Peart and daughter Olivia.
- Fans can register for the artist presale by Oct. 9, with presales beginning Oct. 13 in the U.S. and Canada (Oct. 16 in Mexico) and general on-sale on Oct. 17; Lee and Lifeson also aim to add one or two touring musicians, and the reunion coincides with the Rush 50 anthology.
