Multiple tributes to late drummer Neil Peart

Rush's "Fifty Something Tour" brought the iconic prog-rock band to Toronto's Scotiabank Arena for four sold-out hometown shows from August 7 to August 10, 2026. These concerts represented the band's first tour under their name since 2015 and without their late drummer, Neil Peart, who passed away in 2020. The lineup for these performances included singer-bassist-keyboardist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson, touring German drummer Anika Nilles, and keyboardist Loren Gold.

The series of performances was notable for its heartfelt tributes to Neil Peart, with Geddy Lee expressing emotion during one segment dedicated to his former bandmate. The band also confirmed that the four-night stand in Toronto was being filmed, strongly suggesting the production of a future concert film. Opening with "Xanadu" and quickly moving into fan favorites like "Limelight," "Subdivisions," and "Free Will," the shows provided a celebration of over 50 years of music written by Lee, Lifeson, and Peart.
