Rush Bids the World Farewell with the 2026 “The Last Days” Tour — Full Dates and Cities Finally Revealed…
In a moment fans long believed would never come, legendary Canadian rock band Rush has announced its final bow: a worldwide farewell run titled “The Last Days” Tour, slated for 2026. Framed not as a return to the past but as a celebration of a 50-year legacy, the tour marks the band’s first full-scale run since the passing of drummer and lyricist Neil Peart in 2020. With the blessing of Peart’s family and estate, surviving members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson emphasized that the tour is both a tribute and a thank-you to generations of fans.
Joined by a rotating lineup of guest drummers—each selected for their connection to Peart’s stylistic influence—Rush promises a show that honors the band’s evolution without attempting to replicate the irreplaceable. “This isn’t about replacing Neil,” Lee explained in the announcement stream. “It’s about playing the music we made together for the people who carried us all these years.”
Demand for information has been swirling for months after mysterious countdown clocks began appearing on the band’s socials. Now, the full list of cities and dates has finally been revealed, confirming a massive, eight-month tour spanning North America, Europe, South America, and Asia.
