Rush Add Four New U.S. Dates to Fifty Something Tour

Rush have expanded their ongoing Fifty Something reunion tour, adding four new U.S. dates for this fall. The Canadian rock trio, featuring founding members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson alongside new drummer Anika Nilles, will now perform at Houston's Toyota Center on October 1, St. Louis's Enterprise Center on October 21, Cincinnati's Heritage Bank Center on October 23, and Pittsburgh's PPG Paints Arena on November 15. The band explained the decision to add more shows in a statement, noting their initial caution when planning the tour. "When we initially booked this tour we didn't know how well we would hold up to the rigors of the road so we played it safe with lots of days off to recover," Lee and Lifeson said. "But life is nothing if not surprising and we're doing fine and having a blast, so why not try to hit a few more of the cities that have always treated us so well?" The Fifty Something tour, which began in June 2026, marks Rush's first live performances in 11 years and their first without legendary drummer Neil Peart, who died in 2020. The tour serves as a tribute to Peart, with German drummer Anika Nilles stepping into his role.
