Rush has announced additional Canadian tour dates for their highly anticipated reunion. Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson revealed that they have expanded their concert tour to include 17 more cities starting in June and running through the end of the year.
The newly added stops feature Montreal on September 2, 2026, along with Edmonton on December 10 and Vancouver on December 15. The Fifty Something tour schedule will also include performances in Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, Atlanta, Seattle, and Tampa, Florida.
Having already sold out all previously announced dates, including four nights in Toronto, Rush will open general public ticket sales for the new shows on October 31 following presales starting on Thursday.
This marks Rush’s return to touring since their significant R40 tour in 2015 and the passing of their drummer Neil Peart in 2020 due to an aggressive form of brain cancer. Anika Nilles, a German drummer, will be joining the band to replace Peart for the upcoming tour.
In a YouTube video released on Monday, Lee and Lifeson expressed gratitude for the overwhelming response to the initial dates and cautioned fans about scalpers trying to profit by reselling tickets at inflated prices. They advised fans to purchase tickets through Ticketmaster or the official Rush website to avoid falling victim to scalping practices.
