Rush Expands Its 50th Anniversary Tour With 11 New Shows: See the Dates

Due to overwhelming demand, Rush is adding 11 new dates to its limited-run Fifty Something tour, the band announced Wednesday.

The iconic 23-date run celebrates the band’s deep catalog of chart-topping tracks like “Working Man,” “The Spirit of Radio,” “Tom Sawyer,” and “YYZ.” The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame–inducted and Grammy-nominated band has four No. 1 albums on Billboard’s Top Rock Albums chart and seven tracks that have charted on the Hot 100.

The Fifty Something 2026 tour—which kicks off June 7 in Los Angeles—features co-founders Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson. The duo will be joined by German drummer and producer Anika Nilles, who will be filling in for the late Neil Peart, who died in early 2020.

“It’s been over 10 years since Alex and I have performed the music of Rush alongside our fallen bandmate and friend Neil,” Lee said in a press release announcing the tour, recalling their last performance together Aug. 1, 2015 in Los Angeles. “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 f–king miss it — and that it’s time for a celebration of 50-something years of Rush music.”

The new dates are being added in addition to those already booked for the tour. The newly announced stops include June 11 and 13 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles; June 28 and 30 at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas; July 20 and 22 at the United Center in Chicago; Aug. 1 and 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York; Aug. 11 and 13 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto; and Sept. 19 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio.
