RUSH kicked off the Madison Square Garden leg of their "Fifty Something" reunion tour on 28 July 2026, playing the first of four sold-out nights at the New York venue. The show marked a milestone for fans, as it is the progressive rock band's first tour in 11 years, and featured a lavish production including video tributes to the late Neil Peart alongside comedic appearances referencing "I Love You, Man" and "South Park".

The band performed a 24-song set spanning their career, opening with "Xanadu" and closing with "Working Man". Reviewers praised Geddy Lee's vocals and Alex Lifeson's guitar work, while drummer Anika Nilles, who has taken over from the late Neil Peart, was singled out for her performances on tracks such as "YYZ" and "Tom Sawyer". The setlist is expected to vary across the remaining three Madison Square Garden shows, with the wider North American tour continuing through to December.
