RUSH Adds Four New U.S. Cities To ‘Fifty Something’ Tour
RUSH has added four new arena dates to its 2026 "Fifty Something" tour, marking the band's first extensive road trip in more than a decade. Co-founders Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson said they had originally planned a lighter schedule with plenty of rest days, unsure how well they would cope with touring, but decided to expand after finding the run more manageable than expected and wanting to reach more cities that have supported them.
The new shows will take place in Houston (1 October), St Louis (21 October), Cincinnati (23 October) and Pittsburgh (15 November). Tickets go on general sale on 4 September, with presales starting 1 September and a separate Citi cardmember presale running until 3 September. The tour, which began in June in Los Angeles, is RUSH's first since drummer Neil Peart's death in 2020, and features a revamped line-up with new drummer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Loren Gold alongside Lee and Lifeson, who have described the fan response so far as overwhelmingly emotional and joyous.

RUSH are a Canadian rock band formed in the late 1960s, known for the musicianship of singer and bassist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson and drummer Neil Peart. Peart died in 2020, and the band stopped touring after its final tour in 2015.
The 2026 “Fifty Something” tour is RUSH’s first extensive road run since then. Lee and Lifeson are joined by drummer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Loren Gold, while Peart’s absence makes the tour a significant return for the band and its longtime fans.
