The tour will see founding members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson reunite to have a good time over fifty years of Rush‘s music, legacy, and Peart‘s indelible mark on the band and its followers. The trek kicks off June 7, 2026, on the Kia Discussion board in Los Angeles — the very venue the place Rush performed the ultimate present of their R40 farewell tour in 2015 — bringing the band’s journey full circle.
“It has been over 10 years since Alex and I’ve carried out the music of Rush alongside our fallen bandmate and good friend Neil,” Lee stated. “In any case that has gone down since that final present, Alex and I’ve performed some severe soul looking out and are available to the choice that we fucking miss it. It is time for a celebration of 50-something years of Rush music.
“So in 2026 my BFF Lerxst (aka Alex Lifeson) and I are going to hit the street as soon as once more to pay tribute to our previous and to Neil by performing an unlimited choice of Rush songs in a handful of cities. No small process, as a result of as everyone knows Neil was irreplaceable.”
In Peart‘s place behind the kit will be Anika Nilles, the German drummer, composer, and producer identified for her work with Jeff Beck and a string of acclaimed solo albums.
“Now we have been launched to a different outstanding particular person; an unimaginable drummer and musician who’s including one other chapter to our story,” Lee continued. “Her title is Anika Nilles, and we couldn’t be extra excited to introduce her to our loyal and devoted Rush fanbase.”
Rush will carry out a number of reveals in 7 cities throughout Canada, the US and Mexico, starting June 7, 2026 at The Kia Discussion board in Los Angeles. These particular “night with” reveals will discover the band enjoying two units every night time. Every present will characteristic a definite choice of songs and Rush will construct every night time’s setlist from a list of 35 songs together with their biggest hits and fan favorites.
