Rock & Roll Hall of Fame® Inductees, GRAMMY® Award-nominated icons, and RUSH Co-Founders Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson return to the stage together for the first time in 11 years for the 2026 "Fifty Something" Tour, a celebration of their music, legacy, and the life of late drummer, Neil Peart. They'll be joined by German drummer, composer, and producer Anika Nilles, who was Jeff Beck’s drummer for over 60 shows and has four solo albums.
Along with the Tour, RUSH has released a 50-track super deluxe anthology, "RUSH 50", representing the breadth of their discography, from the first reissue of their 1973 debut single to the live recording of the final song Lee, Lifeson, and Peart played together during the R40 Tour closer at The Forum. Hear songs like "Tom Sawyer," "The Spirit of Radio," "Limelight," "Closer To The Heart," "Working Man," "Fly By Night," "Freewill," and more as RUSH comes to Edmonton for TWO SHOWS—December 10th & December 12th!
Of the tour, Geddy Lee says:
“It’s been over 10 years since Alex and I have performed the music of RUSH alongside our fallen bandmate and friend Neil. A lifetime’s worth of songs that we had put our cumulative hearts and souls into writing, recording and playing together onstage. And so, after all that has gone down since that last show, Alex and I have done some serious soul searching and come to the decision that we #@!$ing miss it, and that it’s 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 road once again to pay tribute to our past and to Neil by performing a vast selection of RUSH songs in a handful of cities. No small task, because as we all know Neil was irreplaceable.
Yet life is full of surprises, and we have been introduced to another remarkable person; an incredible drummer and musician who is adding another chapter to our story while continuing her own fascinating musical journey. Her name is Anika Nilles, and we could not be more excited to introduce her to our loyal and dedicated RUSH fanbase, whom, we know, will give her every chance to live up to that near impossible role. Before we hit the stage, we also hope to add another musician or two to expand our sound a wee bit and free up Alex and I, in order to show off some of our new fancy dance steps.
Lerxst, Anika and myself, along with many of our longstanding crew members have been hard at work rehearsing and designing the kind of RUSH show you’ve grown accustomed to expect from us. We dearly hope you will come along and help us celebrate our history together.”
