Rush‘s reunion tour is officially underway, with the Canadian prog rock legends having returned to the stage last night, June 07th, for their first show in eleven years. The Rock & Roll Hall Of Famers’ surviving duo of vocalist/bassist, keyboardist, etc. Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson announced their return in October 2025, enlisting Anika Nilles in place of their late drumming great, Neil Peart. Since then, they’ve also welcomed in keyboardist Loren Gold as a touring member.
While the group returned to the stage in March of this year for a surprise live performance at the Canadian ‘Juno Awards‘, last night’s set marked their first full concert since concluding their farewell tour at The Forum in Inglewood, CA back on August 01st of 2015. In an apparent nod to this new beginning, the group chose to launch this new run in that very same venue where their previous chapter had concluded. While Lee and Lifeson are now in their 70s, they didn’t skimp on the setlist length, delivering the following 24-songs during their time onstage:
Set #1:
“Xanadu“
“Limelight“
“Far Cry“
