Event summary

Highlights

First Rush tour in 15 years
First tour since Neil Peart's passing
Substantially changing setlists between shows
Full performance of the 'Moving Pictures' album on August 28

Canadian rock band Rush brought their "Fifty Something Tour" to Detroit for two distinct performances at Little Caesars Arena in August 2026. The tour, which commenced in early June in Los Angeles, marks the band's return to the stage after a 15-year hiatus and their first tour since the passing of drummer Neil Peart in 2020.

The first Detroit concert took place on Wednesday, August 26. A second show followed on Friday, August 28, offering fans a significantly different experience with substantial setlist changes. The August 28 performance featured nine different selections out of 22-24 songs, and notably included the entirety of the 1981 album "Moving Pictures" to open its second half, a departure from the "2112" album played on Wednesday. The Friday show was also noted for improved vocal performance by Geddy Lee and a better sound mix, described as delivering an even better experience than its predecessor.
