Rush has added nearly a dozen more stops on their surprise Fifty Something comeback tour. Surviving members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson will be joined on the road by Anika Nilles, who’s filling in for Rush’s late drummer and lyricist Neil Peart.

How Many Sets Will Rush Played Each Night?
Rush will play two sets each night. “It’s been over 10 years since Alex and I have performed the music of Rush alongside our fallen bandmate and friend Neil,” Lee said in an official statement. “After all that has gone down since that last show, Alex and I have done some serious soul searching and come to the decision that we fucking miss it, and that it’s time for a celebration of 50-something years of Rush music.”
As for Nilles, Lee added that they “could not be more excited to introduce her to our loyal and dedicated Rush fanbase, whom, we know, will give her every chance to live up to that near impossible role.” Additional musicians will likely join them on stage.
