In 2025 RUSH co-founders Geddy Lee (bass, keys, vocals) and Alex Lifeson (guitar, vocals) announced their return to the stage for a very special “Fifty Something” tour in Canada, USA and Mexico in 2026 in celebration of RUSH’s music, legacy, and the life of late drummer and lyricist Neil Peart. The response was overwhelming — the initial 22 dates sold out immediately, prompting the addition of more shows. The tour now totals 58 shows across 24 cities, with over half a million tickets sold for 2026.
Now the band has announced the addition of South America and Europe tour dates to the “Fifty Something” tour, in early 2027. The dates will be the first time the band has played in Europe since 2013 and 17 years since visiting South America. Tickets will go on sale this Friday, February 27 at 10:00 a.m. local time at this location.
Of the tour, Geddy Lee says:
“We can’t wait to get back to all these cities we haven’t played in so long, as well as hitting some new places we’ve yet to play. Both Alex and I are loving the hours of rehearsal time we’re spending with Anika and now Loren, learning around 40 songs which will enable us to keep the shows evolving, playing some different songs on different nights. We are thrilled that many of our longstanding crew have come back to help us design the kind of RUSH show that fans have grown accustomed to expect from us. We dearly hope you will come along and help us celebrate 50 years of RUSH music, while giving Neil the long-overdue tribute he so richly deserves.”
