See Drum-Cam Video Of RUSH’s Entire First Madison Square Garden Concert With Drummer ANIKA NILLES
A drum-cam video capturing the entirety of RUSH's first Madison Square Garden concert, performed on 28 July 2026, has been uploaded to YouTube by the channel TapeheadToo. The show was the opening night of four sold-out New York dates on the band's "Fifty Something" tour, notable as the first tour to feature the revamped lineup of Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson alongside new drummer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Loren Gold, marking RUSH's return to touring for the first time since Neil Peart's death in 2020.
The nearly two-and-a-half-hour video covers 24 songs, including "Xanadu", "Tom Sawyer", "2112" and "La Villa Strangiato". The tour, RUSH's first in over a decade, launched on 7 June in Los Angeles and was briefly disrupted when Lee was diagnosed with laryngitis and bronchitis, forcing two shows to be postponed. It has since expanded to 58 shows across 24 cities with more than half a million tickets sold in 2026, with South American and European dates added for early 2027 — the band's first European appearances since 2013.
