"A lifetime's worth of songs that we had put our cumulative hearts and souls into writing, recording and playing together onstage. And so, after all that has gone down since that last show, Alex and I have done some serious soul searching and come to the decision that we fucking miss it, and that it's time for a celebration of 50-something years of Rush music."
"Lee promises a vast selection of songs from the band's 19 studio albums, and while crediting Peart as irreplaceable, announced a remarkable new drummer, Anika Nilles. Lee previously praised her in a 2023 Guardian interview, saying: I heard this drummer the other day, I think her name is Anika [Nilles]. She played on the last Jeff Beck tour and I thought was she was terrific."
"Rush originally formed in 1968 in Toronto, and 11 of those 19 albums eventually went Top 10 in the US, culminating in 2012's Clockwork Angels, a No 2 hit. Rush's last gigs were in a 40th anniversary tour in 2015, with the band members reportedly divided over their future. I miss playing with Rush. I don't miss travelling with Rush, Lee told the Guardian in 2018,"
Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, both 72, will reform Rush for seven North American concerts beginning 7 June 2026 in Los Angeles. The tour will cover the US, Canada and Mexico and feature a wide selection of songs from the band's 19 studio albums. Anika Nilles has been announced as the new drummer, while Neil Peart is credited as irreplaceable. Rush formed in Toronto in 1968 and achieved multiple US Top 10 albums, including 2012's Clockwork Angels. The band's last full touring activity was a divided 40th anniversary run in 2015.
