RUSH will return to the stage in 2026 for a North American tour titled "Fifty Something," marking the first shows since the 2015 R40 Tour and the first concerts since drummer Neil Peart's death in January 2020. Founding members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson will perform alongside German drummer Anika Nilles, who gained attention on YouTube and has toured and released albums with her band Nevell. The tour will visit seven markets, including Los Angeles, Mexico City, Fort Worth, Chicago, New York City, Toronto and Cleveland, with multiple dates in select cities. Fans can sign up for an artist pre-sale by October 9 at 11:59 p.m. ET and expect a general on-sale beginning October 17 via Ticketmaster. Lee and Lifeson reached a mutual decision to tour again with the blessing of Peart's family, citing a desire to celebrate the band's catalogue and pay tribute to Neil.
