These concerts will be RUSH’s first since full shows since the untimely passing of legendary drummer Neil Peart and their 2015 ’40th Anniversary Tour,’ which wrapped at The Forum.
Set List FM reported that the Canadian prog legends performed 26 songs that evening including “Tom Sawyer,” “The Spirit of Radio,” “Closer to the Heart,” “Working Man” and the four-part “2112.”
“It was another stellar evening with Lee in strong command of his vocals along with a very present bass, Lifeson, ever the virtuoso on guitar, in pristine form, and Peart the professor behind the drum kit,” Progarchy noted in a review of the show.
This time around, German drummer Annika Niles is sitting in for Peart at his kit. Over the years, she’s made her name playing alongside Jeff Beck as well with her virtuosic solo work.
As for what to expect, Lee and Lifeson claim their shows will be made up of “two sets each night. Each show will feature a distinct selection of songs and RUSH will build each night’s setlist from a catalogue of 35 songs including their greatest hits and fan favorites.”

About the forthcoming tour, Lee released this statement:
“It’s been over 10 years since Alex and I have performed the music of RUSH alongside our fallen bandmate and friend Neil. A lifetime’s worth of songs that we had put our cumulative hearts and souls into writing, recording and playing together onstage. And so, after all that has gone down since that last show, Alex and I have done some serious soul searching and come to the decision that we f—ing miss it, and that it’s time for a celebration of 50-something years of RUSH music. So in 2026 my BFF Lerxst (aka Alex Lifeson) and I are going to hit the road once again to pay tribute to our past and to Neil by performing a vast selection of RUSH songs in a handful of cities. No small task, because as we all know Neil was irreplaceable.”
Geddy Lee memoir
In 2023, Lee embarked on a fall tour in support of his memoir “My Effin’ Life.”
“I’ve never lived my life looking anywhere but forward, which is why I resisted doing this kind of thing for so long,” Lee shared in a statement ahead of the trek.
“But you need a lot more determination to proceed in the world of music without the comfort of your bandmates, and I can only hope that finishing this book will release me to return to what I do and love best.”

Anika Nilles
Nilles, 42, hails from Aschaffenburg and started her artistic journey when she was just six.
Her first original compositions “Wild Boy” (2013) and “Alter Ego” (2014) led to a subsequent tour, debut album and aforementioned 2022 European run alongside Jeff Beck.
To get a taste of her jazzy and refined yet explosive sound whilst banging on the kit, you can find her lively discography here.
Carrie Nuttall-Peart full statement
Peart’s widow Carrie Nuttall-Peart and his daughter OIivia released a statement regarding the ‘Fifty Something Tour.’ Here’s what the two shared in full:
“We are thrilled to support the ‘Fifty Something’ tour, celebrating a band whose music has resonated and inspired fans for generations, and to honor Neil’s extraordinary legacy as both a drummer and lyricist. Neil’s musicianship was singular. Compositions of intricacy and power that expanded what rhythm itself could express. As both drummer and lyricist, he was irreplaceable. Inimitable in his artistry, and unmatched in the depth and imagination he brought to the lyrics that inspired and moved so many, he profoundly shaped how fans connected with him and the band, giving voice and meaning to their own lives. As the band enters this new chapter, it promises to be truly unforgettable. We are excited to see how their new vision unfolds, and to hear this legendary music played live once again.”
