Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson have been playing together for more than fifty years. They last played as Rush — in full, with Neil Peart behind the kit — on August 1, 2015, at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Peart died in January 2020, and the question of whether the surviving co-founders would ever return to the road seemed settled, in the quiet way those questions settle after a death. Then they went away and did some serious soul-searching. What they came back with is the Fifty Something Tour.
About RUSH
Lee and Lifeson will take the stage at San Antonio’s Frost Bank Center on Friday, September 25, 2026, joined by German drummer and composer Anika Nilles — who toured with Jeff Beck — and keyboardist Loren Gold, playing two full sets each night drawn from a rotating catalogue of 35 songs. No supporting act. An evening with Rush, beginning to end. The September 25 date is the second of two San Antonio shows on this run; the September 23 performance sold fast enough to demand it, and the band obliged.
This is the first time Lee and Lifeson have toured together in eleven years. The last time you could buy a ticket to see Rush in a room this size, Peart was alive and still widely regarded as among the finest rock drummers of his generation. He was irreplaceable, as Lee has said plainly, and the Fifty Something Tour does not attempt to replace him. Nilles is there to hold the music together, not to inhabit a legend. Peart’s widow and daughter publicly expressed their support for the tour — which tells you something about the spirit in which this is being done.
“After all that has gone down since that last show,” Lee has said, “Alex and I have done some serious soul searching and come to the decision that we f***ing miss it, and that it’s time for a celebration of 50-something years of RUSH music.”
That catalogue earned Rush induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, and multiple Grammy nominations across four decades of work. The companion anthology RUSH 50 — a 50-track collection released alongside the tour announcement — is the breadth of it gathered in one place, a useful entry point before September and a reason for longtime listeners to go back in. The Frost Bank Center show is the thirty-fourth of thirty-nine dates on this leg of the tour.
