RUSH TO BRING ‘FIFTY SOMETHING TOUR’ TO THE O2
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame® Inductees, GRAMMY® Award-nominated icons, and RUSH Co-Founders Geddy Lee [bass, keys, vocals] and Alex Lifeson [guitar, vocals] have today announced that they will be bringing their FIFTY SOMETHING TOUR to London, with two nights at The O2 on Tuesday 16 and Thursday 18 March 2027.
Priority Tickets are available to O2 and Virgin Media customers at https://priority.o2.co.uk/ from 10am on Wednesday 25 February and go on general sale at 10am on Friday 27 February via www.theo2.co.uk.
The FIFTY SOMETHING TOUR will celebrate more than 50 years of Rush music, their legacy, and honour late bandmate Neil Peart.
Lee and Lifeson will be accompanied by German drummer, composer, and producer Anika Nilles, who has performed as Jeff Beck’s drummer for over 60 shows and has released four solo albums. The band will also be joined by keyboard player Loren Gold (The Who, Roger Daltrey).
Of the tour, Geddy Lee says: “We can’t wait to get back to all these cities we haven’t played in so long, as well as hitting some new places we’ve yet to play. Both Alex and I are loving the hours of rehearsal time we’re spending with Anika and now Loren, learning around 40 songs which will enable us to keep the shows evolving, playing some different songs on different nights. We are thrilled that many of our longstanding crew have come back to help us design the kind of RUSH show that fans have grown accustomed to expect from us. We dearly hope you will come along and help us celebrate 50 years of Rush music, while giving Neil the long overdue tribute he so richly deserves.”
