Rush has expanded their 50th anniversary Fifty Something 2026 North American arena tour by adding 17 new dates to their previously announced schedule. The additional shows include stops in Philadelphia, Boston, Montreal, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Edmonton, Seattle and Vancouver. Founding members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson will be joined by German drummer Anika Nilles – who previously played with Jeff Beck – as they pay tribute to late drummer Neil Peart, who died in 2020. The tour kicks off on June 7 in Los Angeles with four already sold-out shows, and continues with previously announced multiple-night stands in Fort Worth, Chicago, New York, and Toronto. The newly announced dates begin on August 21 in Philadelphia, with the tour now concluding on December 15 in Vancouver. Artist pre-sale for the new shows starts on Monday (October 27), followed by general on-sale beginning Friday (October 31). (Billboard)
