Rush adds more dates to their “Fifty Something” tour following incredible demand, with additional shows in most cities.

Rush co-founders Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson recently announced their return to the stage for a special 2026 headlining tour, “Fifty Something,” in celebration of the band’s music, legacy, and the life of late drummer and lyricist Neil Peart. Due to incredible demand, the band has added more dates in most cities.

The band has added two new dates in LA, Chicago, NYC, Toronto, and Fort Worth, along with one additional date in Cleveland. These shows mark the first time Lee and Lifeson have toured together in over a decade, since the finale of Rush’s R40 Tour on August 1, 2015.

“It’s been over 10 years since Alex and I have performed the music of Rush alongside our fallen bandmate and friend Neil,” said Geddy Lee. “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.”

Rush will perform multiple shows in seven cities across Canada, the United States, and Mexico, beginning June 7, 2026, at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. These special “evening with” shows will find the band playing two sets each night. Each show will feature a distinct selection of songs, and Rush will build each night’s set list from a catalog of 35 songs, including their greatest hits and fan favorites.

For “Fifty Something,” Lee and Lifeson will be accompanied by German drummer, composer, and producer Anika Nilles, who has performed as Jeff Beck’s drummer for over 60 shows, and has released four solo albums.
