Prog-rock legends Rush have just expanded their hugely anticipated Fifty Something Tour, announcing 2027 dates across South America, Europe and the United Kingdom — marking their first appearances in those regions in over a decade.
Co-founders Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson are gearing up to celebrate more than 50 years of Rush music, honouring their incredible legacy and the late drummer and lyricist Neil Peart with a tour that now spans three continents.
“We can’t wait to get back to all these cities we haven’t played in so long,” Lee said, explaining how excited the band is to reconnect with fans across the world. They’ve been rehearsing an extensive catalogue of songs — around 40+ tracks — so no two nights are exactly the same.
The expanded tour kicks off with shows in South America, including multiple dates in Argentina and Brazil, before moving on to Europe and the UK:
- Feb 19 – Paris, France
- Feb 21 – Berlin, Germany
- Feb 23 – Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Feb 25 – Munich, Germany
- Feb 28 – Cologne, Germany
- Mar 2 – Hamburg, Germany
- Mar 4 – Stuttgart, Germany
- Mar 8 – Glasgow, UK
- Mar 12 – Manchester, UK
- Mar 16 & 18 – London, UK
- Mar 27 – Kraków, Poland
- Mar 30 – Milan, Italy
- Apr 1 – Basel, Switzerland
- Apr 4 – Copenhagen, Denmark
- Apr 6 – Oslo, Norway
- Apr 8 – Stockholm, Sweden
- Apr 10 – Helsinki, Finland
This is the first time Rush have played in Europe since 2013 and the UK since that same era, making the 2027 stops a huge deal for longtime fans.
With original co-founders Lee and Lifeson leading the charge in their seventies, the band will be joined by Anika Nilles on drums and Loren Gold on keyboards for the trek. They’ve been hard at work rehearsing, and Lee says the idea is to keep each show feeling fresh, with varied set lists and two-set performances each night.
Tickets go on sale Friday, Feb. 27 at 10:00 AM local time, with pre-sales for fan club members starting a few days earlier.
The 2027 leg of the Fifty Something Tour isn’t just another set of dates — it’s a once-in-a-generation chance to see Rush perform across the world again, decades after they first changed prog rock. Fans will get to relive classics and rediscover deep cuts as Lee and Lifeson push forward with passion and pride.
