In a new interview with Darren Redick of U.K.'s Planet Rock, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush spoke about their decision to reunite for a tour in 2026 and 2027.

The run of dates will begin at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, site of the last Rush concert on the legendary Canadian band's "R40" anniversary tour.

Joining the duo on the trek will be German drummer Anika Nilles, who toured with legendary guitarist Jeff Beck in 2022 and has been rehearsing with Lee and Lifeson in preparation for the tour.

The tour, dubbed "Fifty Something," promises to bring a unique sonic experience to fans.

According to Geddy, Rush will play two sets each night, featuring a distinct selection of songs from their extensive catalog.

The band will take on Neil Peart's memory by incorporating tributes into the show.

Geddy and Alex Lifeson spoke about how Nilles ended up joining Rush's touring lineup.

Anika impressed both Geddy and Alex with her talent and work ethic, making her the perfect fit for the band.

The tour announcement took Rush fans by surprise.

Originally, the band planned a small residency tour, but due to high demand, they were forced to add more dates.

The tour now totals 58 shows across 24 cities in North America, with over half a million tickets sold.

In addition to North America, Rush has also announced South American and European tour dates for early 2027.

These special "evening with" shows will feature two sets each night, with a unique selection of songs for each performance.

Fans will be treated to an immersive experience as they get closer than ever before with the band.

Rush invites fans to elevate their live show experience with VIP packages and curated travel options.

Each package includes meet-and-greet access, an autograph signing session, entry to the Xanadu pre-show VIP lounge, exclusive merch gifts, and more.

The band's decision to reunite for a tour was motivated by their desire to perform at their best.

Geddy mentioned that they've been rehearsing extensively for nearly a year in preparation for the tour.

Geddy and Alex Lifeson expressed their gratitude towards fans for embracing their reunion with such enthusiasm.

The band's legacy continues to inspire new generations of musicians and fans alike.

The "Fifty Something" tour promises to be an unforgettable experience for Rush fans around the world.

With its unique sonic landscape, immersive atmosphere, and tribute to Neil Peart, this tour will undoubtedly cement Rush's legendary status in the music scene."
