“RUSH are returning to the stage for a 2026 North American tour, marking their first shows since 2015’s “R40 Tour,” as well as their first concerts since the passing of beloved drummer Neil Peart in January 2020. The legendary Canadian prog-rock act’s founding members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson will be joined by German drummer Anika Nilles, who first caught attention on YouTube in the early 2010s and has since toured with Jeff Beck and released albums as a solo act with her backing band Nevell. The tour, dubbed “Fifty Something,” will hit seven markets in North America, including multiple dates in select cities. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band’s outing kicks off with four shows in Los Angeles on June 7th, 9th, 11th, and 13th and wraps up September 17th and 19th in Cleveland, hitting Mexico City; Fort Worth, Texas; Chicago; New York City; and RUSH’s hometown of Toronto along the way. Update: “Due to incredible demand,” RUSH have added extra shows in Los Angeles, Fort Worth, Chicago, New York, Toronto, and Cleveland.” (Consequence)

“Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino thinks that concerts aren't nearly as expensive as they should be. Musicians and fans aren't in a good spot right now. The former suffer from high touring expenses and unreasonable label demands that often leave them penniless or in the red, while the latter have to shell out a hefty sum to attend the live shows of their favorite bands.

Michael Rapino, Live Nation's CEO, thinks otherwise. He's certain that concerts should be more expensive than they currently are. Speaking at CNBC and Boardroom's Game Plan conference, Rapino stated that people have no problem paying large amounts of money for sports. Still, somehow concerts are a problem (transcribed by Ultimate Guitar):

"I think music has been underappreciated. You know, I always joke, sports - it's like a badge of honor to spend seventy grand for a Knicks courtside. They'd beat me up if we charged eight hundred for Beyoncé, right?" Rapino continued: It's a real…it's very under… We have a lot of runway left, right? So when you read about the ticket prices going up, it's still – average concert price is $72. Try going to a Laker game for that. And there's eighty of them or whatever the hell. So, the concert is underpriced - has been for a long time." (Ultimate Guitar)
