Canadian rock legends Rush have announced UK shows in Glasgow, Manchester and London, as part of the 2027 ‘Fifty Something’ tour.
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 announced their return to the UK.
These special “evening with” shows will find the band playing two sets each night. Each show will feature a distinct selection of songs, and Rush will build each night’s setlist from a catalogue of 40+ songs, including their greatest hits and fan favorites.
Lee and Lifeson will be accompanied by German drummer, composer, and producer Anika Nilles and keyboard player Loren Gold.
Of the tour, 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,” he adds. “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.”
Rush last visited the UK in May 2013 on their ‘Clockwork Angels’ tour, and Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee had previously expressed regret that 2015’s farewell ‘R40 Live’ tour never visited our shores.
Tickets go on sale this Friday (February 27) at 10am local time.
