What Happened
Rush has confirmed the addition of 2027 tour dates across South America, the United Kingdom, and Europe as part of their Fifty Something Tour. This announcement follows the band’s successful 2026 headline run, which reportedly sold over half a million tickets. The upcoming tour will feature co-founders Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, along with drummer Anika Nilles, marking their first European shows since 2013 and their first South American dates in 17 years.
Why It Matters
The tour is significant as it celebrates more than 50 years of Rush music while paying tribute to the late drummer and lyricist Neil Peart, who passed away in 2020. Geddy Lee expressed excitement about returning to cities they haven’t played in for a long time, as well as exploring new locations. The band aims to evolve their performances by learning around 40 songs, allowing for varied setlists across different nights. This tour also marks the return of many longstanding crew members, ensuring a familiar Rush experience for fans.
What’s Next
Tickets for the Rush 2027 tour will go on general sale on Friday, February 27, at 10 AM local time. Fans are encouraged to secure their tickets early, as demand is expected to be high. The band hopes to celebrate their legacy and honor Neil Peart’s contributions during these performances.
