Rush unveils four new arena dates for their 2026 Fifty Something reunion tour, adding Houston, St. Louis, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh stops later in the year.

Citi cardmembers gain access to presale tickets from September 1 at 10 am local time through Citi Entertainment, ahead of general sale.

Anika Nilles and Loren Gold have joined Rush to complete the current lineup, with extensive rehearsals described as exhaustive but successful by Lifeson and Lee.

The performances carry a personal, cathartic tone for fans and artists alike, highlighting mutual love and respect.

Lifeson and Lee praise the collaborative energy between Nilles and the band, noting her eye contact and dynamic on stage.

The article closes with a note about Side-Line’s mission, fundraising request, and donation options supporting the publication.

Lifeson revealed in a recent interview that he stopped smoking cannabis at 72 to enjoy clearer thinking and better memory.

Classic Rush tracks like Anthem, Working Man, and Red Barchetta are performed with visual tributes to John Rutsey, harking back to the band’s origins.

Nilles entered Rush with limited prior knowledge of the band, learned material from home before rehearsals, and earned respect through hard work.

Nilles initially faced doubts about fitting in, but she felt a release after delivering a strong opening show at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.

The tour has featured breaks for recovery and reflects Rush’s long history of reactivation and ongoing activity on the road.

Shows during this leg are selling out or near sell-out, underscoring the high demand for Rush’s reunion.
