Rush band touring schedule

Entities: Rush (band) · Geddy Lee · Estadio Bicentenario de La Florida · Alex Lifeson · Madison Square Garden

Overview

In July 2026 the Canadian rock group Rush announced a series of four Madison Square Garden concerts in New York, part of their worldwide “Fifty Something Tour,” and detailed a pop‑up merchandise shop in Toronto that would run alongside the North‑American leg.

Later that same day the band confirmed a follow‑up leg for 2027, revealing two stadium shows in Santiago, Chile, scheduled for January 2027. The Chile dates were added after a backstage encounter with Paul McCartney, who urged the group to resume touring, and were presented as the first live performances since an eleven‑year hiatus.
