Rush add even more dates to the tour they added more dates to earlier

Rush's swiftly expanding Fifty Something tour has been expanded again.

Just two days after confirming new shows in 17 cities – in addition to the original 12 dates announced earlier this month and the 11 added shortly after – the band have confirmed second shows in all 17, as well as a second show in Mexico City, which was part of the first announcement. Which, if our math is correct, means that Rush will now play a grand total of 58 shows across the US and Canada on their first live trek since 2015's R40 tour. Full dates below.

Fans will be able to participate an artist presale for the newly added shows by signing up at livemu.sc/rush by Thursday, October 23, before 11:59pm ET. The general sale begins on Friday, October 31 at noon local time for the US and Canada, and on Thursday, October 30, at 11am local time for Mexico.

Rush have not yet announced any shows outside North America. Earlier this year, frontman Geddy Lee told Classic Rock he regretted that Rush were unable to schedule a more extensive run of R40 dates because late drummer Neil Peart asked that the tour be kept short.

"I’d pushed really hard to get more gigs so that we could do those extra shows and I was unsuccessful," said Lee. "I really felt like I let our British and European fans down. It felt to me incorrect that we didn’t do it, but Neil was adamant that he would only do thirty shows and that was it. That to him was a huge compromise because he didn’t want to do any shows. He didn’t want to do one show."

"Ged and I were disappointed that Neil demanded playing only a limited number of dates which precluded a UK and European run," said Alex Lifeson. "I think a dozen or so more dates would have made us a bit more accepting."

Rush's Fifty Something Tour will see the live debut of the drummer stepping into Peart's shoes, German musician Anika Nilles.
