Rush has announced a custom-designed cymbal setup with Meinl, featuring the new Lunar Ride and Hats models.

These cymbals were engineered to meet the exact sonic demands of both Anika Nilles and Rush, ensuring an effortless integration into the mix on stage.

The Lunar Ride boasts extra heavy weight, a massive bell, and a warm, deeply musical tone.

The Lunar Hats deliver a crisp, energetic chick sound and maximum projection.

These special cymbals will be available in music stores worldwide in September 2026.

The tour kicked off with three sold-out shows at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, California.

A message from Meinl reveals, "These aren’t just new cymbals; they are a sonically crucial part of Anika’s setup." The band will continue their extensive tour across North America and Europe, performing two sets each night.

Each show features a distinct selection of songs and Rush will build each night’s setlist from a catalogue of 40+ songs including their greatest hits and fan favorites.

The special VIP program includes Meet & Greet access, an autograph signing session and production tour, entry to the Xanadu pre-show VIP lounge, exclusive merch gifts, and more.

Each Travel package includes a 2-night stay at a curated hotel, premium tickets to the show, a limited edition gift, a Rush Welcome Pack, Transportation Pass, and more exclusive goodies.

The tour itinerary includes stops in cities such as Chicago, New York, Toronto, Philadelphia, Detroit, Montreal, Boston, Cleveland, San Antonio, Denver, Seattle, San Jose, Washington D.C., Uncasville, Tampa, Charlotte, Atlanta, Glendale, Edmonton, Vancouver, Buenos Aires, Curitiba, SĂŁo Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, BrasĂ­lia, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Munich, Cologne, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Glasgow, Manchester, London, KrakĂłw, Milan, Basel, Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, and Helsinki.
