Rock icons Rush have officially announced their comeback tour, the ‘Fifty Something Tour,’ marking their first live performances in over a decade. The highly anticipated tour is dedicated to celebrating the band’s remarkable music, their rich legacy, and most importantly, honoring the memory of their late drummer and acclaimed lyricist, Neil Peart.
Kicking off on June 7 and 9, 2026, at the iconic Kia Forum in Los Angeles – the very venue where Peart played his final show with the band in 2015 – the tour promises an unforgettable experience for fans. Peart, who tragically passed away in January 2020 from glioblastoma, will be remembered through the band’s powerful performances.
Neil Peart’s widow, Carrie Nuttall-Peart, along with their daughter Olivia Peart, expressed their enthusiasm for the tour. “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,” they stated.
Following their Los Angeles dates, the ‘Fifty Something Tour’ will make stops in Mexico City, Fort Worth, Chicago, New York, and Toronto, before concluding with a single performance in Cleveland on September 17. Fans can expect to hear timeless Rush hits like “Tom Sawyer,” “The Spirit of Radio,” and “Limelight,” a testament to Peart’s incredible talent as both a drummer and a lyricist.
Rush, a fixture on classic rock radio, saw their success soar in the 1980s with six consecutive albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Their influence continued through the 1990s and into the 2010s, with their final studio album, ‘Clockwork Angels,’ released in 2012. The band was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013, solidifying their status as one of rock’s most influential acts.
