Rush Fifty Something tour Fort Worth show #3 open thread

Sat, Jul 11, 2026@12:22PM | comments

Date/Time: Saturday, July 11th @ 7:30PM
Show Number: 9
Venue: Dickies Arena
Place: Fort Worth, TX
Setlist: View
Photos: TBD
Reviews: TBD

Rush returns to Fort Worth tonight to finish off their 4-night stint at Dickies Arena that was supposed to have wrapped up last month, but was delayed due to Geddy Lee being diagnosed with laryngitis. Geddy's feeling better, the truck rigs are at the arena, and the stage is set for another epic show. The first 2 Fort Worth shows took place without issues, and saw the band perform the exact same sets that they performed on nights 1 and 2 in LA. So we expect that tonight's show should then mirror LA night #3, which saw the band perform the entire Moving Pictures album. The Texas shows are also the debut of Rush's standard tourbook - identical to the exclusive LA tourbooks except for the photos, which include shots from the LA shows as opposed to just rehearsal photos. There is some some great exclusive merch for Fort Worth as well, including some LE lithographs, t-shirts and jewelry as seen in this Instagram post. Geddy Lee posted a video message to Instagram yesterday, with his dog Dottie in hand, saying how bored they both are of rehearsing and are ready to get back out on stage:
