Rush has expanded its reunion tour with 17 new cities added Monday, including a stop in the West Valley.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees will visit Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale on Dec. 1, 2026.
Fans can participate in the artist presale for the newly added shows by signing up at livemu.sc/rush by 8:59 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 23. No code is needed – access is tied to your account. The artist presale begins at noon on Monday, Oct. 27. General on sale begins here at noon on Friday, Oct. 31
Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets US beginning at noon on Friday, Oct. 24 until 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 26 through the Citi Entertainment program. Visit www.citientertainment.com.
The iconic band’s co-founders Geddy Lee (bass, keys, vocals) and Alex Lifeson (guitar, vocals) initially announced their reunion tour, Fifty Something, with dates in seven major North American cities. All the dates in the U.S. and Canada have sold out.
The demand led to 17 new cities being added.
The tour will celebrate Rush’s music, legacy, and the life of late drummer and lyricist Neil Peart. German drummer, composer, and producer Anika Nilles, who has performed as Jeff Beck’s drummer for over 60 shows and has released four solo albums, will play drums.
“We are blown away from the response to the announcement we made a few weeks ago that we’re going back on tour,” Lee shared in a Monday video. “I cannot tell you how surprising and overwhelmed we are and the way you guys have welcomed Anika Nilles. It’s been very heartwarming, and I know that she’s very appreciative of that. We’re even more excited to get back on stage and play with her and to go through the plethora of songs that we’re planning.”
The shows will mark the first time Lee and Lifeson have toured together in 11 years since the finale of Rush’s R40 Tour on Aug. 1, 2015, at the Forum in Los Angeles.
The shows will find the band playing two sets each night. Each show will feature a distinct selection of songs and Rush will build each night’s setlist from a catalogue of 35 songs including their greatest hits and fan favorites.
