"We are blown away!" Rush share new video as they add 17 more US and Canadian cities to Fifty Something tour
Rush will play their first live shows in eleven years in 2026 on their Fifty Something tour

Rush have added a further 17 Canadian and US cities to their rapidly expanding Fifty Something tour for 2026.
The band originally announced their first live shows as Rush for 11 years, since 2015's R40 tour, at the beginning of the month with live dates in Los Angeles, Fort Worth, Chicago, New York, Toronto and Cleveland, all of which have sold out. Today the band have added live dates in cities including Philadelphia, Boston, Montreal, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Edmonton, Seattle, Vancouver, and more...
"Wow," exclaim Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson in a new video message. "We are blown away by the response to the announcement that we made a few weeks ago that we're going back out on tour. And I cannot tell you how surprising and overwhelmed we are. And also the way you guys have welcomed Anika Nilles into theRush family has been very heartwarming. I know she's very appreciative of that and we're even more excited to get back on stage with her and go through the plethora of songs that we're planning."
