Geddy Lee (vocals) and Alex Lifeson (guitar) of Rush will be embarking on the tour, entitled Fifty Something, which will celebrate their 50 plus years in music and honour late bandmate Neil Peart, who died in 2020.

Peart was the drummer, percussionist, and primary lyricist for Rush.

For the upcoming tour, Lee and Lifeson will be accompanied by German drummer, composer, and producer Anika Nilles and keyboard player Loren Gold (The Who, Roger Daltrey).

The shows will see the band playing two sets each night, which will cover a distinct selection of songs.

Speaking on the tour, Geddy Lee said: “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."
