About Rush

Rush are a Canadian progressive rock trio from Toronto, Ontario, consisting of bassist and vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson, and the late drummer and lyricist Neil Peart, widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential rock bands in history. Formed in 1968, the band built a catalog spanning 19 studio albums that defies easy categorization: hard rock, progressive rock, heavy metal, new wave, and eventually arena pop, all unified by the band's extraordinary musicianship and Peart's philosophical, literary lyrics. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. Following Peart's death from glioblastoma in January 2020, a live reunion seemed impossible, until October 2025, when Lee and Lifeson announced the Fifty Something Tour: a celebration of Rush's music, legacy, and the life of Neil Peart, with acclaimed German drummer Anika Nilles, who previously toured with Jeff Beck, filling the drum role. The tour runs from June 7 through December 15, 2026, with stops in Atlanta, Boston, Edmonton, Montreal, Seattle, Vancouver, Washington D.C., and many more cities — with all previously announced dates having sold out immediately.

The tour is explicitly framed as a tribute to Neil Peart, and Lee and Lifeson have described the experience of playing Rush music again as deeply emotional and celebratory rather than mournful.

Who is Anika Nilles and why was she chosen to play with Rush?

Anika Nilles is an award-winning German composer and producer who previously toured with Jeff Beck and has released four solo albums. Lee and Lifeson have described the choice as driven by her extraordinary technical ability, musicality, and the sensitivity with which she approaches Peart's iconic drum parts, honoring their complexity without attempting an exact imitation. Her presence on the Fifty Something Tour has been widely praised by Rush fans and music critics alike.
