Rush has announced the Fifty Something Tour, which will begin in Los Angeles in June 2026 and continue through North America before extending to South America and Europe in 2027.

The tour marks the band’s first performance in 11 years and features a full setlist drawn from their 40-song catalog spanning five decades.

The band’s co-founders Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson are joined by drummer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Loren Gold for the tour.

To coincide with the tour, UMe/Mercury and Anthem Records have released two new vinyl editions.

The first is a 50th Anniversary Liquid Vinyl Edition of the 1976 album 2112, available on October 2.

The pressing, inspired by the original album cover, includes a die-cut hole for display and was initially sold in limited quantity at Madison Square Garden during Rush’s 2026 U.S.

shows.

The release is exclusive to Sound of Vinyl and was produced with Terry Brown.

The second release is the first-ever vinyl edition of The Spirit of Radio: Greatest Hits 1974–1987, featuring artwork by Hugh Syme.

It is available in two configurations: a 2LP set with 16 tracks and a 1LP retail exclusive with 10 tracks.

The 1LP edition includes the track 'Finding My Way,' which appears only on that version.

The compilation features classics such as 'Fly By Night,' 'The Spirit of Radio,' 'Tom Sawyer,' and 'New World Man,' as well as 'Time Stand Still,' which includes a vocal counterpoint by Aimee Mann from 'Til Tuesday, performed live during the first four dates of the tour.

Both vinyl releases are available for pre-order on official websites.
