RUSH have confirmed the next chapter of their Fifty Something Tour, adding 2027 dates across South America, the United Kingdom and Europe. The run marks the band’s first European shows since 2013, and their first South American dates in 17 years.
The tour sees co-founders Geddy Lee (bass, keys, vocals) and Alex Lifeson (guitar, vocals) celebrating more than 50 years of RUSH music while paying tribute to late drummer and lyricist Neil Peart.
“We can’t wait to get back to all these cities we haven’t played in so long,” Geddy Lee said, “as well as hitting some new places we’ve yet to play. Both Alex and I are loving the hours of rehearsal time we’re spending with Anika and now Loren, learning around 40 songs, which will enable us to keep the shows evolving, playing some different songs on different nights.
“We are thrilled that many of our longstanding crew have come back to help us design the kind of Rush show that fans have grown accustomed to expect from us. We dearly hope you will come along and help us celebrate 50 years of Rush music, while giving Neil the long overdue tribute he so richly deserves.”
Carrie Nuttall-Peart and Olivia Peart, Neil’s widow and daughter, have said they are thrilled to support the Fifty Something tour, “celebrating a band whose music has resonated and inspired fans for generations, and to honour 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.”
