Rush is touring again and added new cities. Charlotte fans should make plans.
Rush is coming back to Charlotte.
The legendary Canadian rock trio will perform Nov. 20, 2026 — and a second show Nov. 22, 2026 — at Spectrum Center as part of the band’s newly-announced ”Fifty Something” tour. The group, best known for classics like “Tom Sawyer” and “The Spirit of Radio,” returns to the Queen City for on a massive North American run, marking its first tour in more than a decade.
Geddy Lee, Rush’s frontman and bassist, spoke in Charlotte earlier this year for Holocaust Remembrance Day, discussing his family’s history as Holocaust survivors and his memoir “My Effin’ Life.”
Rush announced tour dates on its official website, with shows spanning the United States and Canada — including Madison Square Garden in New York and Scotiabank Arena in Toronto — before wrapping up the year in Vancouver. Then on Oct. 22 Rush announced many second shows, including the second show in Charlotte.
Tickets and VIP packages for the Charlotte show go on sale through the band’s website, Rush.com.
Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson will be joined by new drummer Anika Nilles, who replaces the late Neil Peart, who died in 2020.
