"Fifty-something years ago, Canadian rock band Rush rocked into the ages. The band wasn't like others during the seventies - they appealed to the fantasy metal nerds searching for epic proportions of progression, made in a different flavor of rock than the sixties, with which to identify. Teenagers were a big driver of their audience base. Some of those awkward teenagers, such as Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins, later went on to become rock legends in their own right."
"Rush has toured over 30 times, with the most recent tour marking 40 years of touring. The R40 Live Tour took place in 2015 and was the last time fans had the opportunity to see them live; the final show was played at the Kia Forum in Inglewood. After the tour closed in 2015, drummer Neil Peart alluded to his desire to retire. It was quiet for a bit. Fans waited years, hoping that this wasn't the end."
"As it turns out, the band has decided to go on one more tour after all, embarking on a reunion tour in memory of their late bandmate, Peart. Announced as the band's big farewell, the 2026 series is called their Fifty Something tour, and I've broken down how to score Rush tickets below. Keep scrolling to find the information on how you can catch your last chance to see them rock out their final notes before their official retirement,"
