Written by megarock on June 13, 2026
Canadian rock legends RUSH performed their seven-part suite “2112” for the first time in nearly 30 years at their second “Fifty Something” tour concert Tuesday night (June 9) at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, California. It marked the first time RUSH had played “Part III: Discovery”, “Part V: Oracle: The Dream” and “Part VI: Soliloquy” as part of the 20-minute “2112” suite since the “Test For Echo” tour back in 1997. Other tour debuts at Tuesday night’s show included the 1982 “Signals” track “The Analog Kid”, along with “Leave That Thing Alone” and “Headlong Flight”, plus the “Hemispheres” classic “The Trees”, which was performed live for the first time since 2008.
The “Fifty Something” tour is RUSH‘s first with the band’s revamped lineup of classic members Geddy Lee (vocals, bass) and Alex Lifeson (guitar) alongside Anika Nilles, a German drummer who toured with legendary guitarist Jeff Beck in 2022, and newly added keyboardist Loren Gold, who is best known as touring member of THE WHO and CHICAGO.
RUSH‘s setlist for “Fifty Something” is culled from a pool of nearly 40 RUSH classics, with the band playing two sets a night that celebrate late RUSH drummer Neil Peart‘s life and legacy.
