Fifty-something years ago, Canadian rock band Rush rocked into the ages. The band wasn’t like others during the seventies — they appealed to the fantasy metal nerds searching for epic proportions of progression, made in a different flavor of rock than the sixties, with which to identify. Teenagers were a big driver of their audience base. Some of those awkward teenagers, such as Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins, later went on to become rock legends in their own right.Rush has toured over 30 times, with the most recent tour marking 40 years of touring. The R40 Live Tour took place in 2015 and was the last time fans had the opportunity to see them live; the final show was played at the Kia Forum in Inglewood. After the tour closed in 2015, drummer Neil Peart alluded to his desire to retire. It was quiet for a bit. Fans waited years, hoping that this wasn’t the end. As it turns out, the band has decided to go on one more tour after all, embarking on a reunion tour in memory of their late bandmate, Peart. Announced as the band's big farewell, the 2026 series is called their Fifty Something tour, and I've broken down how to score Rush tickets below. Keep scrolling to find the information on how you can catch your last chance to see them rock out their final notes before their official retirement, with leads on tickets via StubHub and VividSeats.See more: Is StubHub legit? | Kenny Chesney tickets | Eagles tickets | Bon Jovi tickets | AC/DC tickets | Iron Maiden tickets | Morrissey tickets | Dolly Parton ticketsRush’s 2026 tour scheduleRush is going to be all over the United States for the bulk of their tour.

Some shows have either completely sold out or have very limited options for available tickets. Remember: this is the first tour that they’ve had in a decade and is said to be the last the band will ever do.They have two shows that aren’t connected to the tour scheduled in Glendale, Arizona, at the end of this year. The first of those two shows has already sold out. Only 1% of tickets were remaining shortly after they went up on StubHub. They aren’t even available on Ticketmaster either.If you visit Ticketmaster seeking original tickets, you’re met with a notice stating that tickets are either extremely limited or only available through verified resellers. Fans (and resellers looking to get their hands on a bag) are grabbing tickets quickly. This will make getting tickets competitive.How much are tickets?The July 17th Chicago show’s tickets are the most expensive to try to snag on StubHub of the tour. (The same date isn’t even available on VividSeats.) They are priced at over a grand for the lowest-priced tickets. This makes so much sense to me as a kid born in the Chicago suburbs who grew up with my dad and cousin Kevin playing Rush. If I had the cheddar to go to one of those shows with my pa & my cousin, I’d be mighty tempted personally. The band has some serious old-school Midwest dad-rock fanfare that you don’t need to be “Fifty Something” to appreciate.The other most expensive cheap tickets are just under a grand for the December 3rd show at the end of this year. These are currently only available on StubHub. Overall, more ticket dates appear to be available on StubHub compared to VividSeats.There are also some impressive VIP packages available, if you can secure them and afford them. VIP packages are listed on Rush’s website. There are multiple levels of VIP packages potentially up for grabs. Each level unlocks fan experiences from direct meet and greets and photo ops for the ‘gram, special VIP only merch, autographs, behind-the-scenes tour, great seats, and of course, drinks and networking with fans before the masses who paid for general admission or regular tickets get in.I peeked at the site to see how much an available VIP package would cost if someone were to go to one of the Los Angeles shows, and, well, it’s pretty expensive. Their lowest VIP package seats were $840 on Ticketmaster. Their second-tier VIP package seats, located four rows from the stage and including a hotel package stay, concert, and assorted goodies, were $2,256 each before taxes.Who is opening for Rush’s tour?Rush is doing their own thing and owning the stage for their final bow. They are, however, supported with this by a moderately younger drummer than the rest of the Rush crew. Forty-two-year-old Anika Nilles is from Germany and has previously played with the late English musician Jeff Beck. She will be rocking the drums, channelling the musical stylings of Neil Peart in his absence.Will there be international tour dates?Folks seeking to see Rush play live outside the United States will have limited options on where to see them. The band is currently scheduled to perform only in Canada and Mexico. The bulk of their international shows are in Canada, which makes perfect sense given the band’s origins.There are no shows scheduled in Europe or other international countries and continents. The tour dates all take place in the North American region.The number of international appearance locations is extremely limited. Only two of the band’s tour dates are happening in Mexico. The remaining 10 international tour dates are scheduled in select cities across Canada.Who are the Rush band members?Rush is composed of two current main members: guitarist Alex Lifeson and lead vocalist Geddy Lee. Lee also does bass and keyboard work for the band. The third member of the original band was the late Neil Peart, who died in 2020. Lee and Lifeson have elected to tap German drummer Anika Nilles to step in for Peart during this tribute farewell tour.Where can I buy Rush band merch?Folks interested in purchasing Rush merchandise can find a variety of items on Rush’s official website. If you’re thinking about what to get your Rush-loving relative or the dad rock-loving hipster some Rush schwag, there are a bunch of options. They offer a wide range of merchandise, including copies of their music on vinyl, books, T-shirts, glasses, beanies, and more. There’s even a Rush baseball on there. When you go to their site, you’ll see that they are set up for the holidays with sales now too, so you might want to “rush” over there and check it out if that’s your groove.
