Overview
- The Fifty Something tour launched on June 7, 2026 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles with a two-set, 24-song show that closed the band’s 11-year live hiatus.
- Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson performed with German drummer Anika Nilles and touring keyboardist Loren Gold, and reviewers and fans praised Nilles for handling Neil Peart’s complex parts.
- Opening night mixed hits and rare tracks, opened with “Xanadu” for the first time in band history, and featured Aimee Mann joining to sing “Time Stand Still.”
- The band integrated multiple visual and video tributes to Neil Peart into both sets, dedicating select songs to his memory during the performance.
