RUSH ADD FOUR NEW CITIES ON THEIR CELEBRATED FIFTY SOMETHING TOUR
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame® Inductees, GRAMMY® Award-nominated icons, and RUSH Co-Founders Geddy Lee [bass, keys, vocals] and Alex Lifeson [guitar, vocals] today announce four new arena shows on their celebrated 2026 headline tour, Fifty Something. The band will perform at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, PA, on November 15, 2026. Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson of Rush share about the significance of these newly added dates, “When we initially booked this tour we didn’t know how well we would hold up to the rigours of the road – so we played it safe with lots of days off to recover – but life is nothing if not surprising and we’re doing fine and having a blast – so why not try to hit a few more of the cities that have always treated us so well.”
Tickets for these four newly added tour dates will go on sale here on Friday, September 4 at 10 am with presales beginning on Tuesday, September 1 at 10 am. Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning on Tuesday, September 1 at 10 am until Thursday, September 3 at 10 pm through the Citi Entertainment program. For complete presale details visit www.citientertainment.com.
Tickets for all other dates are on sale now here.
RUSH have received universal praise on their Fifty Something Tour which finds the band performing special “evening with” shows in cities across Canada, the United States, Mexico and the EU/ UK. The band performs two sets each night with each show featuring a distinct selection of songs built from a catalogue of over 35 songs including their greatest hits and fan favorites.

ABOUT RUSH
RUSH took rock music into uncharted territory and to unmatched heights fueled by the once-in-a-lifetime interplay of Geddy Lee [bass, keys, vocals], Alex Lifeson [guitar, vocals], and the late Neil Peart [drums, lyrics]. Selling over 45 million albums worldwide, garnering seven GRAMMY® Award nominations, tallying billions of streams, and earning induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame®, and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, the pioneering trio’s incalculable influence has spanned generations, attracting one of the most ardent audiences in history. These musicians effectively reimagined and redefined rock without boundaries, striking a balance between elite instrumentation, anthemic vocals, provocative lyricism, and timeless storytelling both sonically and thematically. RUSH notably achieved “the third most consecutive gold/platinum studio albums by a rock a band behind only the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.” Furthermore, their accolades have included becoming Officers of the Order of Canada in 1996, achieving the Canadian Governor General’s Performing Arts Award in 2012, and receiving recognition with both a star on the Canada Walk of Fame and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The world tragically said goodbye to Peart on January 7, 2020 following his battle with brain cancer. Honouring Peart and the legacy the band had forged together, Lee and Lifeson celebrate RUSH on tour in 2026. It’s a moment for new listeners to finally experience this music live in all of its glory and another chance for the group’s faithful fanbase to rally again.
