Canadian progressive rock legends Rush continue to pull massive surprises out of their catalog during their highly anticipated “Fifty Something” comeback tour. Thanks to the YouTube channel “TapeheadToo“, fans worldwide can now watch video of the band’s entire fourth concert of the trek, which took place at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, on June 13, 2026.
The Los Angeles-area setlist featured a treasure trove of deep cuts and long-awaited live revivals. The undeniable highlight of the evening was a stunning performance of “A Farewell To Kings“, the title track from their landmark 1977 fifth studio album, A Farewell To Kings. Astoundingly, the legendary trio had not played the song live since 1979.
In addition to that historic revival, Rush treated the packed arena to a rare rendition of “The Pass” off their 1989 record Presto, marking its first live appearance since 2013. The band also pulled “The Anarchist” from their 2012 release Clockwork Angels for the first time since 2015.
Adding to the monumental nature of the evening, the group once again delivered their epic seven-part sci-fi suite, “2112“, in its absolute entirety. Later in the set, celebrated singer-songwriter Aimee Mann made a special guest appearance, joining the band on stage to perform her original vocal parts on the classic track “Time Stand Still“.

Rush officially launched “Fifty Something” tour on Sunday night, June 7. The concert marked the band’s first official tour in 11 years and began with a four-night residency at the same venue where they last performed with the late Neil Peart in August 2015.
The landmark return introduces a completely revamped touring lineup. Classic members Geddy Lee (vocals, bass) and Alex Lifeson (guitar) have enlisted German drummer Anika Nilles, who prominently toured alongside guitar virtuoso Jeff Beck in 2022 to take on the demanding role behind the kit. Additionally, the band has expanded their live sound with the addition of keyboardist Loren Gold, a seasoned touring musician best known for his work with The Who and Chicago.
Prior to the massive Los Angeles kickoff, the new iteration of Rush made their live public debut in late March at Canada’s Juno Awards in Hamilton, Ontario. During the ceremony, the group performed “Finding My Way” from their 1974 self-titled debut album, Rush, notably the only full-length studio release in their catalog that did not feature Peart. Before the “Fifty Something” tour, Lee and Lifeson‘s only live performances together since 2015 were under their own names, participating in high-profile tribute events for artists like Gordon Lightfoot and Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins.
