Rush has announced additional tour dates across Canada as part of the band’s highly anticipated reunion. Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson revealed that they have expanded the upcoming concert tour to include 17 more cities, commencing in June and running through the end of the year.
Among the newly added stops are Montreal on September 2, 2026, along with Edmonton on December 10 and Vancouver on December 15. The Fifty Something tour schedule will now feature cities such as Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, Atlanta, Seattle, and Tampa, Florida.
The band from Toronto disclosed that all previously announced dates, including four nights in Toronto, have already sold out. Tickets for the additional shows will be available to the general public starting on October 31, following various presales beginning on Thursday.
This tour marks Rush’s return to the road since the significant R40 tour in 2015 and the passing of their drummer Neil Peart due to an aggressive form of brain cancer in 2020. Anika Nilles, a German drummer, will be stepping in to replace Peart for the upcoming tour.
In a recent YouTube video, Lee and Lifeson expressed gratitude for the overwhelming response to the initial tour announcement. Lee also cautioned fans about scalpers who are inflating ticket prices, advising them to purchase tickets through Ticketmaster or the Rush website to avoid falling prey to resellers.
