Author Benedetta Baldin - 8.6.2026
On Sunday night, June 7, Canadian rock icons Rushbegan their first tour in eleven years in Los Angeles, California, as per Blabbermouth. The Forum, the location of Rush‘s final performance with legendary drummer Neil Peart in August 2015, will host a four-night stand to kick off the band’s first tour following Peart’s death. Anika Nilles, a German drummer who toured with legendary guitarist Jeff Beck in 2022, and newly added keyboardist Loren Gold—best known for touring with The Who and Chicago—join Rush on their first “Fifty Something” tour, which features the band’s redesigned lineup of classic members Geddy Lee (vocals, bass) and Alex Lifeson (guitar).
