Rush Add 17 More Dates to 2026 Reunion Tour

Rush have announced an additional 17 reunion tour dates for 2026, bringing the total number of comeback shows to 40. Earlier in October, the Canadian prog rock legends revealed they’d be returning next year, recruiting German drummer Anika Nilles to fill the role of the late, great Neil Peart.

The newly added tour stops are all one-off dates, contrasting with the previously announced tour stops that feature extended stays in several major cities — with up to four shows in some locations. The full span of Rush’s Fifth Something reunion tour will now stretch from June 7 through December 15.

In addition to Nilles behind the kit, Geddy Lee suggested that fans may see “another musician or two” added to the lineup “to expand our sound a wee bit and free up Alex and I, in order to show off some of our fancy new dance steps.” Lee, who often performed triple duty live — singing as well as playing bass and keyboard — will turn 73 next July. It’s understandable he’d want to be relieved of one of those roles to enjoy himself more onstage.
