In 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductees, Grammy Award-nominated icons, and 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 with the initial 22 dates selling out immediately, which encouraged additional shows.
Today, Rush announce new shows in São Paulo, Brazil (January 26, 2027) and London, UK (March 21, 2027).

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.
The band will also be joined by keyboard player Loren Gold (The Who, Roger Daltrey).
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." Carrie Nuttall-Peart and Olivia Peart, Neil's widow and daughter share: "We are thrilled to support the Fifty Something tour, celebrating a band whose music has resonated and inspired fans for generations, and to honor Neil's extraordinary legacy as both a drummer and lyricist.
Neil's musicianship was singular.
Compositions of intricacy and power that expanded what rhythm itself could express." The full confirmed 2026 and 2027 itinerary below.
