Rush adds new "Fifty Something" Tour dates: Updated schedule, presales and tickets

Few bands in rock history have earned the kind of devotion that follows Rush. For a fanbase that watched the "R40" tour close out in 2015 and mourned the loss of Neil Peart in 2020, the idea of hearing these songs performed live again once felt impossible. Now, with four added cities joining the "Fifty Something" Tour, that impossible thing has a date, a venue and a ticket link.

The "Fifty Something" Tour continues across North America through December 17, 2026, with four new cities joining an already packed fall schedule. Houston (October 1), St. Louis (October 21), Cincinnati (October 23) and Pittsburgh (November 15) are the four newly added stops. The rest of the 2026 itinerary includes multi-night runs in Montreal, Boston, Cleveland, Denver, Seattle and more.

For a band whose live reputation was built on surgical precision and arena-filling power, every one of these dates carries weight.

What to expect at Rush's "Fifty Something" Tour

The "Fifty Something" Tour has been delivering roughly three-hour shows split into two sets, an intermission and an encore, with no traditional opening act.

Setlists have changed significantly from night to night, especially during multi-night stops. Rush has mixed staples like "Tom Sawyer," "The Spirit of Radio" and "Subdivisions" with deeper cuts, while some shows have featured major surprises like the complete "2112" suite or all seven songs from Moving Pictures.

Neil Peart tributes are woven throughout the production with video segments and other onstage acknowledgments. Fans have also consistently praised drummer Anika Nilles for bringing her own power and precision to Peart's parts while fitting naturally alongside Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson.

For fans attending a two-night stop, the rotating setlists make seeing both shows especially worthwhile — there's a good chance the second night will be substantially different from the first.
