After years of silence, Rush have officially stepped back into the spotlight with the announcement of their monumental 2026 “Fifty Something Tour,” sending a wave of excitement through longtime fans across the world. Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson’s decision to reunite marks a powerful new chapter for the legendary band, blending reflection, legacy, and a renewed passion for live performance. The announcement has been met with overwhelming anticipation, as many believed the group’s touring days had quietly come to an end.
The tour is set to kick off on June 7, 2026, in Los Angeles, California, before moving through major North American cities that have played a defining role in Rush’s history. Early stops include San Francisco (June 10), Denver (June 14), Chicago (June 18), and New York City (June 24), with each show expected to celebrate the band’s decades-long catalog while honoring the spirit that made Rush iconic.
Canadian dates hold special significance, with the band returning home for performances in Toronto on July 3 and July 5, followed by Montreal on July 9 and Vancouver on July 15. These hometown shows are already being described as emotional centerpieces of the tour, symbolizing both where Rush began and how far their journey has carried them.
The schedule continues through late summer and fall, extending into cities such as Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Dallas, Austin, Phoenix, Seattle, and Las Vegas, with additional dates planned for Mexico City in October. The tour is currently slated to conclude on December 17, 2026, in Vancouver, bringing the long-awaited reunion full circle.
While the band has remained focused on the live experience, insiders suggest the creative chemistry between Lee and Lifeson feels stronger than ever, fueling speculation that this reunion could extend beyond the stage. For now, the “Fifty Something Tour” stands as a historic return—one that reconnects Rush with their global audience and proves that even after years of silence, their legacy still resonates louder than ever.
