Prior to their Manhattan mini-residency, RUSH — who is playing with drummer Anika Nilles in the late Neil Peart’s place — last performed at Chicago’s United Center. According to Set List FM, they performed 24 songs each of the first three nights and then closed their Second City stint with a 28-song marathon.
Just a few of the most notable tracks to make their way to the stage include “Tom Sawyer,” “The Spirit of Radio,” “Subdivisions,” “Working Man” and the seven-part “2112” from the “Overture” to the “Grand Finale” to name just a couple.
“Seeing a Rush performance of this caliber in 2026 was an unexpected joy,” The Chicago Sun-Times wrote in a review of one of the four United Center concerts. “The chemistry and vitality of the revamped four-piece lineup suggest the music need not end when the ‘Fifty Something Tour’ wraps. New material with this combination of players would be an exciting prospect for fans of progressive rock while continuing to honor Peart’s legacy.”

What is Geddy Lee’s book about?
In 2023, Lee embarked on a fall tour in support of his memoir “My Effin’ Life.”
“I’ve never lived my life looking anywhere but forward, which is why I resisted doing this kind of thing for so long,” Lee shared in a statement ahead of the trek.
“But you need a lot more determination to proceed in the world of music without the comfort of your bandmates, and I can only hope that finishing this book will release me to return to what I do and love best.”

Who is Anika Nilles?
Nilles, 43, hails from Aschaffenburg and started her artistic journey when she was just six.
Her first original compositions, “Wild Boy” (2013) and “Alter Ego” (2014), led to a subsequent tour, debut album and aforementioned 2022 European run alongside Jeff Beck.
To get a taste of her jazzy and refined yet explosive sound whilst banging on the kit, you can find her lively discography here.
What do the Pearts say about the ‘Fifty Something Tour’?
Peart’s widow Carrie Nuttall-Peart and his daughter OIivia released a statement regarding the ‘Fifty Something Tour.’ Here’s what the two shared in full:
“We are thrilled to support the ‘Fifty Something’ tour, celebrating a band whose music has resonated and inspired fans for generations, and to honor Neil’s extraordinary legacy as both a drummer and lyricist. Neil’s musicianship was singular. Compositions of intricacy and power that expanded what rhythm itself could express. As both drummer and lyricist, he was irreplaceable. Inimitable in his artistry, and unmatched in the depth and imagination he brought to the lyrics that inspired and moved so many, he profoundly shaped how fans connected with him and the band, giving voice and meaning to their own lives. As the band enters this new chapter, it promises to be truly unforgettable. We are excited to see how their new vision unfolds, and to hear this legendary music played live once again.”
