Rush Add 17 Cities To Fifty Something Tour
by Tom Breihan · StereogumA few weeks ago, Rush’s Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson made a big announcement: They’re going back out on tour. It’s been more than a decade since Canadian prog legends Rush’s last tour. In 2020, longtime drummer and lyricist Neal Peart passed away at the age of 67. Now, Peart’s two surviving bandmates are getting ready to head out on their Fifty Something tour. The show is being framed as a tribute to Peart, and they’re doing it with the blessing of Peart’s family and with former Jeff Beck drummer Anika Nilles standing in. As initially announced, the Fifty Something tour was only scheduled to hit seven cities, with multiple dates in most of them. But all of the Rush’s US and Canadian dates sold out, so they’ve added a bunch more, in different cities.
Now, Rush’s Fifty Something tour is coming to more arenas in the US and Canada. Next year, they’ll hit three more Canadian cities — Montreal, Alberta, and Vancouver — as well as American spots like Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston, Seattle, San Jose, and Atlanta. Check out the expanded dates below.
