Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductees, Grammy -nominated icons and Rush Co-Founders Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson have announced their return to the stage for a very special 2026 headlining tour, “Fifty Something.”

The trek marks the first time Lee and Lifeson have toured together in eleven years since the finale of Rush’s R40 Tour on August 1, 2015 at the Forum in Los Angeles.

“It’s been over 10 years since Alex and I have performed the music of RUSH alongside our fallen bandmate and friend Neil [Peart],” said Lee. “A lifetime’s worth of songs that we had put our cumulative hearts and souls into writing, recording and playing together onstage. And so, after all that has gone down since that last show, Alex and I have done some serious soul searching and come to the decision that we miss it, and that it’s time for a celebration of 50-something years of RUSH music.”

“So in 2026, my BFF Lerxst (aka Alex Lifeson) and I are going to hit the road once again to pay tribute to our past and to Neil by performing a vast selection of RUSH songs in a handful of cities,” he adds. “No small task, because as we all know Neil was irreplaceable”.

Carrie Nuttall-Peart and Olivia Peart, the widow and daughter of late Rush drummer and lyricist Neil Peart, said, “We are thrilled to support the Fifty Something tour, celebrating a band whose music has resonated and inspired fans for generations, and to honor Neil’s extraordinary legacy as both a drummer and lyricist.”

Rush will perform multiple shows in across Canada, the United States and Mexico, beginning June 7, 2026 at The Kia Forum in Los Angeles. The band will be 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.

For “Fifty Something,” Lee and Lifeson will be accompanied by German drummer, composer, and producer Anika Nilles, who has performed as Jeff Beck’s drummer.

Fans will be able to participate in the Rush Artist Presale by signing up at here by Thursday, October 9 at 11:59pm ET. The Artist Presale begins on October 13 at 12 pm local time in the U.S. and Canada and on October 16 at 12 pm local time in Mexico.

The general on-sale begins on October 17 at 12 pm local time for the U.S. and Canada and 11 am local time for Mexico at Rush.com.

Foo Fighters recently released a live EP, Are Playing Where??? Vol. 1 exclusively on Bandcamp.

The live performance was captured across the surprise club shows Dave Grohl and company played across the United States in September.

Are Playing Where??? Vol. 1 is made up of “absolutely ripping live tracks recorded in front of dozens, possibly hundreds of lucky fans at the band’s recent surprise club gigs,” says a press release.

The tracklist includes performances of “Alone + Easy Target,” “Exhausted,” “Watershed,” “Weenie Beenie,” “White Limo,” and “Winnebago.”

All proceeds from the “pay what you want” release will go to local charities combating food insecurity in San Luis Obispo and Santa Ana, California, Washington, D.C., and New Haven, Connecticut – the four cities where the shows took place.

Billy Idol, Corey Taylor, Elliot Easton of The Cars, Josh Freese, Moby, Nuno Bettencourt, and Steve Stevens have been confirmed as the initial list of artists for the rescheduled 2025 Above Ground 4 benefit concert.

Cypress Hill will join them as special guests on October 26 at The Fonda Theatre in Hollywood, California. Tickets are available at abovegroundorg.com.

Above Ground 4 will feature performances of the groundbreaking self-titled debut albums by The Cars and The New York Dolls. Moby will DJ between sets beyond his performance. A full list of performers will be announced in the coming weeks.

Originally set for January this year, the rescheduled show marks the fourth iteration of the event, which will again raise awareness and funds for mental health and suicide prevention. Proceeds from this annual Live Music event will be donated to MusiCares.

The Above Ground team made the decision to postpone the event until later in the year following the horrific wildfires that ravaged Los Angeles in early 2025.
