Rush in Italy after twenty years: a show announced for 2027

Rush return to Italy twenty years after their last show in our country. After the tour that marked their reunion last year, Geddy Lee and his associates have announced a new round of concerts. The “Fifty something tour” which will start on June 7th from Los Angeles and will stop over the course of the year in other cities in the United States, as well as Canada and Mexico, will also land in Europe in 2027. A date is also scheduled at the Unipol Dome in Milan on 30 March 2027.

Tickets will be on sale according to the following methods: in advance through band website from 10:00 on February 24; through MC2Live.it and Vivaticket.com, from 10:00 am on February 25th, then via Spotify from February 26th at 10:00 am. Sales general sale on MC2Live.it, Vivaticket.com and at authorized resellers from 10:00 on 27 February. VIP Packages will be available.

Rush’s last show in Italy dates back to 23 October 2007, when the group performed at the DatchForum in Assago, Milan.

For the “Fifty something tour”, which will also see Rush pay homage to drummer Neil Part, who passed away in 2020, Lee and Lifeson will be accompanied by German drummer, composer and producer Anika Nilles, who played as Jeff Beck’s drummer for over 60 concerts and released four solo albums. The band also announced that keyboardist Loren Gold (The Who, Roger Daltrey) will also be on stage.

Speaking about the tour, Geddy Lee states: «We’re looking forward to getting back to all these cities we haven’t played in so long, as well as visiting some new places we’ve yet to play. Both Alex and I are loving the hours of rehearsals we are spending with Anika and now Loren, learning about 40 songs that will allow us to evolve the shows, playing different pieces on different nights. We’re thrilled that many of our longtime crew members have returned to help us design the kind of RUSH show fans have come to expect from us. We sincerely hope that you will come with us and help us celebrate 50 years of Rush music, giving Neil the tribute he so richly deserves.”
