Rush are taking their return victory lap overseas.
Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson have expanded their Fifty Something reunion tour with a new 2027 run across South America, the UK, and Europe, beginning Jan. 15 in Buenos Aires and wrapping April 10 in Helsinki. According to the band’s official announcement, it will be Rush’s first Europe dates since 2013 and their first South America shows in 17 years.
The tour, billed as an “evening with” format, is set up as two sets per night with setlists built from a roughly 40-song rotation, allowing for variation from show to show.
The ongoing reunion lineup continues with acclaimed German drummer Anika Nilles, who steps into the impossible role of honoring the late Neil Peart while keeping the songs moving with her own feel and precision. For 2027, Rush are also adding a new wrinkle: keyboardist Loren Gold, known for his work with The Who and Roger Daltrey, joins the touring band for the first time.
Before that international leg kicks off, the Fifty Something run starts in North America on June 7, 2026 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, followed by additional 2026 dates across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Ticket details and official routing are being handled through Rush’s site, with the band announcing an on sale time of Feb. 27 at 10 a.m. local for the newly added 2027 shows.
Lee and Lifeson have only surfaced under the Rush banner a handful of times since Peart’s death, including appearances tied to the 2022 Taylor Hawkins tribute concerts. This new leg makes the scope of the comeback unmistakable: not a one-off salute, but a full-scale, arena-sized celebration of the catalog, built to evolve night by night.
