evated offerings: an all-new VIP program, the first-ever 2112 Platform Experience, and curated Travel Packages for fans making a trip to see the show.
The band initially announced dates in seven major North American cities, and all the U.S. and Canadian dates have sold out. Due to the overwhelming demand for tickets, 17 additional cities have been added to the tour. This marks the first time Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson have toured together in 11 years since the finale of RUSH’s R40 Tour in 2015. They will be accompanied by drummer, composer, and producer Anika Nilles, who has performed as Jeff Beck’s drummer and released four solo albums.
RUSH also revealed the 50-track super deluxe anthology, RUSH 50, available in five configurations. It includes the first-ever reissue of their 1973 debut single and a live recording of the final song performed by Lee, Lifeson, and Peart during the R40 Tour. Rolling Stone described it as “an epic saga” suitable for both new listeners and avid fans.
RUSH’s iconic music and legacy are celebrated as they take rock music to new heights through their unparalleled interplay. With over 45 million albums sold worldwide, seven GRAMMY® Award nominations, and induction into several prestigious Halls of Fame, RUSH has a lasting influence on generations of fans. They achieved notable milestones, such as becoming Officers of the Order of Canada, receiving stars on the Canada Walk of Fame and Hollywood Walk of Fame, and winning the Canadian Governor General’s Performing Arts Award. Despite the loss of Neil Peart in 2020, RUSH continues to honor his legacy by embarking on the 2026 Fifty Something Tour, providing new listeners with a live experience of their timeless music and reuniting their dedicated fanbase.
