As had been anticipated, Rush has announced via this video that they'll be extending their upcoming Fifty Something into South America, UK and Europe in 2027, hitting 24 shows in 13 countries. The announcement also came with an exclusive new interview with the UK's Planet Rock, where Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson discuss new details about how the tour came about, and how rehearsals are going, revealing that keyboard player Loren Gold (The Who, Roger Daltrey) will be joining Geddy, Alex and Anika on the tour. From the announcement:

... Today the band are ecstatic to announce the addition of South America, the United Kingdom and Europe tour dates to the Fifty Something tour, in early 2027. The dates will be the first time the band has played in Europe since 2013 and 17 years since visiting South America.

Tickets will go on sale this Friday, February 27th at 10:00 am local time here: https://www.rush.com/tour/fifty-something/

Performing 24 shows across 13 countries, these special "evening with" shows will find the band playing two sets each night. Each show will feature a distinct selection of songs and RUSH will build each night's setlist from a catalogue of 40+ songs including their greatest hits and fan favorites. ...

... For Fifty Something, Lee and Lifeson will be accompanied by German drummer, composer, and producer Anika Nilles, who has performed as Jeff Beck's drummer for over 60 shows and has released four solo albums. The band announces today, they will also be joined by keyboard player Loren Gold (The Who, Roger Daltrey).

Of the tour, Geddy Lee says: "We can't wait to get back to all these cities we haven't played in so long, as well as hitting some new places we've yet to play. Both Alex and I are loving the hours of rehearsal time we're spending with Anika and now Loren, learning around 40 songs which will enable us to keep the shows evolving, playing some different songs on different nights. We are thrilled that many of our longstanding crew have come back to help us design the kind of RUSH show that fans have grown accustomed to expect from us. We dearly hope you will come along and help us celebrate 50 years of Rush music, while giving Neil the long overdue tribute he so richly deserves." ...
