RUSH Returns with New Drummer

RUSH just launched their “Fifty Something” tour with a brand-new lineup, featuring Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson alongside German drummer Anika Nilles — who’s played with Jeff Beck — and keyboardist Loren Gold, known for his work with The Who and Chicago. Their LA debut on June 7th was captured in a viral drum-cam video, and the tour has exploded, selling over half a million tickets across 58 shows in 24 U.S. cities — with South America and Europe dates already announced for 2027. This marks their first overseas tour in years and their first live performances since Neil Peart’s passing in 2020, a monumental challenge Nilles acknowledges as she strives to honor Peart’s legendary, ever-evolving style. Their first public show with Nilles was at the Juno Awards in March, performing “Finding My Way,” and they’re now gearing up for European gigs featuring two sets each night, diving deep into their catalog with over 40 songs — a full RUSH experience fans won’t want to miss.
