Overview
- On Saturday, June 13, Rush closed their four-night Kia Forum run by adding three tour debuts—'A Farewell to Kings' (played live for the first time since 1979), 'The Pass,' and 'The Anarchist'—to a 28-song set.
- Across the Los Angeles residency the band varied its shows nightly, including full live performances of the 2112 suite and of Moving Pictures, and appears likely to rotate among those four distinct setlists for future dates.
- German drummer Anika Nilles, recruited to fill Neil Peart’s role, has been widely praised for mastering Peart’s complex parts and for delivering high-energy performances that won strong crowd approval.
- Singer-songwriter Aimee Mann joined Rush onstage for 'Time Stand Still,' and nightly video montages and onstage remarks acknowledged Peart’s presence and influence on the reunion shows.
- Promoters added dates after high demand and the Fifty Something Tour moves next to Mexico City, with a multi-leg schedule currently listed through international dates into 2027, including a planned April 10 finish in Helsinki.
