RUSH’s Four Hometown Shows in Toronto To Be Captured for Concert Film

RUSH, the iconic prog-rock band, is wrapping up their successful "Fifty Something" reunion tour with four hometown shows in Toronto. The four-night stand at Toronto's Scotiabank Arena is scheduled for August 7th, 9th, 11th, and 13th. Singer-bassist Geddy Lee shared the news on Instagram, stating that while the decision to film a live concert was challenging, Toronto's hometown status and the high demand for such a film made it the perfect choice.

Lee emphasized the significance of capturing the emotional response from fans and paying tribute to the late Neil Peart, who was replaced by Anika Nilles on drums. The tour, which launched in early June, has been praised by fans and critics alike, with recent performances at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles and Madison Square Garden in New York City receiving enthusiastic reactions.

Lee, Alex Lifeson, Anika Nilles, and keyboardist Loren Gold are the current lineup for the remaining shows. For those unable to attend, tickets are available with a special offer code for a $20 discount on orders of $200 or more.
