By Editorial Staff | Published: Feb 23, 2026 10:43 AM EST

Rush have announced that they have extended their Fifty Something Tour into next year with the addition of new dates in South America, the United Kingdom and Europe.

The group shared these details: The dates will be the first time the band has played in Europe since 2013 and 17 years since visiting South America. For Fifty Something, Lee and Lifeson will be accompanied by German drummer, composer, and producer Anika Nilles, who has performed as Jeff Beck's drummer for over 60 shows and has released four solo albums. The band announces today, they will also be joined by keyboard player Loren Gold (The Who, Roger Daltrey).

"We can't wait to get back to all these cities we haven't played in so long, as well as hitting some new places we've yet to play. Both Alex and I are loving the hours of rehearsal time we're spending with Anika and now Loren, learning around 40 songs which will enable us to keep the shows evolving, playing some different songs on different nights. We are thrilled that many of our longstanding crew have come back to help us design the kind of RUSH show that fans have grown accustomed to expect from us. We dearly hope you will come along and help us celebrate 50 years of Rush music, while giving Neil the long overdue tribute he so richly deserves." - Geddy Lee

Carrie Nuttall-Peart and Olivia Peart, Neil's widow and daughter share: "We are thrilled to support the Fifty Something tour, celebrating a band whose music has resonated and inspired fans for generations, and to honor Neil's extraordinary legacy as both a drummer and lyricist. Neil's musicianship was singular. Compositions of intricacy and power that expanded what rhythm itself could express. As both drummer and lyricist, he was irreplaceable. Inimitable in his artistry, and unmatched in the depth and imagination he brought to the lyrics that inspired and moved so many, he profoundly shaped how fans connected with him and the band, giving voice and meaning to their own lives. As the band enters this new chapter, it promises to be truly unforgettable. We are excited to see how their new vision unfolds, and to hear this legendary music played live once again."

Performing 24 shows across 13 countries, these special "evening with" shows will find the band playing two sets each night. Each show will feature a distinct selection of songs and RUSH will build each night's setlist from a catalogue of 40+ songs including their greatest hits and fan favorites.

RUSH invites fans to get closer than ever with elevated ways to experience the tour: a special VIP program with the 2112 Platform Experience, and curated Travel Packages for those journeying in to see the show.
