CLEVELAND, Ohio—This news will land “Closer to the Heart” for many rock fans: Rush is touring next year.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush snuck into town Sunday night to drop the surprise on an invite-only gathering of 150 fans, media and dignitaries at the Rock Hall’s Foster Theater.

The limited run of summer dates — their first official concert routing in 11 years — will begin at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, site of the last Rush concert on their R40 anniversary tour.

Other concert dates on the “Fifty Something Tour” include Fort Worth, Chicago, Toronto and (you guessed it) Cleveland. Our show will take place at Rocket Arena on Thursday, September 17, 2026. Tickets go on sale Friday, October 17 at 10 a.m.
