RUSH Europe Tour 2027

Rush return to Europe in 2027 for the first time in fourteen years. The Fifty Something tour, the reunion of Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson with drummer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Loren Gold, opens its European leg at the Paris La Défense Arena in Nanterre on 19 February 2027 and visits Berlin, Amsterdam, Munich, Cologne, Hamburg and Stuttgart before seven British arena nights in March.

The tour then returns to the continent for Kraków (27 March), Milan (30 March), Basel (1 April), Copenhagen (4 April), Oslo (6 April), Stockholm (8 April) and finally the Veikkaus Arena in Helsinki on 10 April 2027, the last date of the entire tour. It is the band's first tour since 2015 and their first without Neil Peart, who died in 2020.

This page gathers every confirmed European date, the arenas, the run night by night and a detailed history of Rush's concerts in continental Europe, from the Göta Lejon in Stockholm in 1977 to the Clockwork Angels shows of 2013.

RUSH Europe Tour 2027: confirmed dates

Lee and Lifeson announced the reunion on 6 October 2025. The tour began in Inglewood, California, on 7 June 2026 and grew from twelve planned dates to more than fifty in North America. On 23 February 2026 the band confirmed a 2027 leg outside North America: South America in January and early February, then Europe from February to April. Tickets for the European dates in our data have been on sale since 27 February 2026.

Our main tour data lists Amsterdam (Ziggo Dome, 23 February), the British dates, Basel (1 April), Copenhagen (4 April), Oslo (Unity Arena, 6 April) and Helsinki (Veikkaus Arena, 10 April). The complete published itinerary adds nine more continental shows, which we list as extra verified dates: the Paris La Défense Arena (19 February), the Uber Arena in Berlin (21 February), the Olympiahalle in Munich (25 February), the Lanxess Arena in Cologne (28 February), the Barclays Arena in Hamburg (2 March), the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle in Stuttgart (4 March), the Tauron Arena in Kraków (27 March), the Unipol Dome in Milan (30 March) and the Avicii Arena in Stockholm (8 April 2027).

The published itinerary also names the halls for the two dates still marked to be confirmed in our data: the St. Jakobshalle in Basel and the Royal Arena in Copenhagen. Note that the Paris show is in Nanterre, just outside the city, and the Oslo show at Fornebu in Bærum; promotional material labels them Paris and Oslo.

Germany is the heart of the tour, with six arena shows, which reflects the band's long history there: Rush have played more German cities than any other continental country in the setlist archive. No support act has been announced.

Before the RUSH Europe Tour 2027: European concert history

Rush first crossed to the continent in the late 1970s. The setlist archive's earliest European show is at the Göta Lejon theatre in Stockholm on 8 June 1977, on the tour that followed the live album All the World's a Stage. The Hemispheres tour of May and June 1979 went further: Le Stadium in Paris on 17 May, Poperinge in Belgium, the Konserthuset in Gothenburg, the Chateau Neuf in Oslo, Gröna Lund in Stockholm on 25 May, Erlangen, Offenbach, the Musikhalle in Hamburg, the Volkshaus in Zürich and an open-air show in Geleen in the Netherlands on 4 June 1979.

The early 1980s, when Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures and Signals each reached No. 3 in the UK, were dominated by Germany and Rotterdam. The Exit... Stage Left tour of November 1981 played the Musikhalle in Hamburg, Neunkirchen am Brand, the Ahoy in Rotterdam on 14 November, the Circus Krone in Munich, Rüsselsheim, two nights in Böblingen, Karlsruhe and the Grugahalle in Essen. The Signals tour of May 1983 returned to the Ahoy, Böblingen, the Festhalle in Frankfurt, the CCH in Hamburg, the Philipshalle in Düsseldorf and Eppelheim.

Hold Your Fire brought them to the Ahoy, the Festhalle and the Schleyer-Halle in Stuttgart in May 1988. The Roll the Bones tour of April and May 1992 was another German run, with Hanover, the Sporthalle in Cologne, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, the Eissporthalle in Berlin and Stuttgart, plus Le Zénith in Paris on 1 May and the Ahoy on 3 May 1992. Then came a gap of twelve years.

The R30 30th Anniversary Tour of September 2004 brought 32-song shows to Oberhausen, the Schleyer-Halle, the Mazda Palace in Milan, the Festhalle, the Alsterdorfer Sporthalle in Hamburg, the Globe Arena in Stockholm and the Ahoy on 1 October 2004. The Snakes & Arrows tour of October 2007 played two nights at the Ahoy, Oberhausen, the SAP Arena in Mannheim, the Forum in Assago, the Oslo Spektrum, the Globe and the Hartwall Areena in Helsinki on 29 October.

The Time Machine Tour of 2011 played Helsinki, Stockholm, Malmö, the O2 in Dublin on 12 May, the Ahoy and Frankfurt. The Clockwork Angels Tour of June 2013, the band's last European visit, played the new Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam on 2 June, the Lanxess Arena in Cologne, the O2 World in Berlin, the Sweden Rock Festival at Norje and the Hartwall Areena in Helsinki on 10 June 2013. Several 2027 venues are the same buildings under new names: the O2 World is now the Uber Arena, and the Hartwall Areena is now the Veikkaus Arena.

The table below lists 66 documented European concerts by RUSH between 1977 and 2013, with the most shows in Rotterdam (8), Frankfurt (5), Stockholm (5), Hamburg (4), Helsinki (3), Oslo (3). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

RUSH Europe Tour 2027 and European festivals

Rush rarely played festivals in Europe. The setlist archive includes an open-air show at the Burgemeester Damen Sportpark in Geleen in June 1979 and the Sweden Rock Festival at Norje Havsbad on 8 June 2013, where they played a shorter 20-song set. The 2027 tour is made entirely of indoor arena dates.

RUSH Europe Tour 2027: career and records

Rush formed in August 1968 in the Willowdale neighbourhood of Toronto. Alex Lifeson was there from the start; Geddy Lee soon replaced the first bassist and singer, and Neil Peart replaced drummer John Rutsey in July 1974, completing the power trio that stayed together until 2015. Their lyrics drew mainly on science fiction, fantasy and philosophy.

After the blues-rock of their 1974 debut, Rush moved into progressive rock with 2112 (1976), A Farewell to Kings (1977) and Hemispheres (1978). Permanent Waves (1980), Moving Pictures (1981) and Signals (1982) each reached No. 3 in the UK and brought songs such as 'The Spirit of Radio', 'Tom Sawyer', 'Limelight' and 'Subdivisions'. The 1980s saw heavier use of synthesizers on Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows and Hold Your Fire, before a return to guitar-driven rock with Roll the Bones, Counterparts and Test for Echo.

After a six-year gap between studio albums, the band returned with Vapor Trails (2002), Snakes & Arrows (2007) and Clockwork Angels (2012). Rush were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013, and their worldwide sales are estimated at more than 43 million albums. The R40 Live Tour of 2015 was their last with Peart; Lifeson confirmed in 2018 that the band had ended, and Peart died in 2020.

Lee and Lifeson kept working together, and on 6 October 2025 they announced the Fifty Something tour with drummer Anika Nilles. In February 2026 they added keyboardist Loren Gold, formerly of Chicago, making Rush a four-piece on stage for the first time since 1972.

RUSH Europe Tour 2027: a German winter

Six of the European shows are in Germany, all in February and early March 2027: Berlin (21 February), Munich (25 February), Cologne (28 February), Hamburg (2 March) and Stuttgart (4 March), with Amsterdam on 23 February in between. Germany has long been the band's core European market: the setlist archive lists them in Frankfurt's Festhalle five times and in Stuttgart's Schleyer-Halle three times.

Stuttgart's Schleyer-Halle hosted Rush in 1988, 1992 and 2004, and the 2027 show on 4 March closes the first continental block before the band head to Glasgow.

RUSH Europe Tour 2027: a new line-up on stage

Anika Nilles takes over the drum parts written and played for four decades by Neil Peart, and Loren Gold adds keyboards, so that Lee and Lifeson are joined by two musicians for the first time. Lifeson's health was part of the reason the tour started small: two years before the announcement he had undergone surgery, and the reunion was first imagined as a dozen North American dates.

Peart's death in 2020 ended the classic trio. The Fifty Something shows are the first chance for European fans to hear the songs live since the Clockwork Angels Tour of 2013, the last European tour of the original line-up.

RUSH Europe Tour 2027: Amsterdam, Rotterdam and the Ahoy years

For decades the Netherlands meant Rotterdam's Ahoy, where Rush played in 1981, 1983, 1988, 1992, 2004, twice in 2007 and in 2011. In 2013 they moved to the new Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, which opened in 2012, and it is the Ziggo Dome again on Tuesday 23 February 2027.

Belgian fans have had little: a single show in Poperinge in May 1979 is the only Belgian date in the archive, and there is none in 2027. Amsterdam and Cologne are the nearest shows.

RUSH Europe Tour 2027: the Nordic farewell

The tour ends with four Nordic shows in seven days: Copenhagen (Royal Arena, 4 April), Fornebu near Oslo (Unity Arena, 6 April), Stockholm (Avicii Arena, 8 April) and Helsinki (Veikkaus Arena, 10 April 2027). Stockholm has hosted Rush since 1977 and Helsinki since 2007.

Helsinki on Saturday 10 April 2027 is the final date of the entire Fifty Something tour. The Veikkaus Arena, the former Hartwall Areena, also hosted the band's last European show of the 2013 tour.

RUSH Europe Tour 2027: what to expect live

Lee and Lifeson have said they would rotate songs from a pool of around 35 to 38, so no two Fifty Something shows are identical. Long sets are traditional for Rush: the R30 shows of 2004 had 32 songs and the Clockwork Angels shows of 2013 had 28.

The 2013 European shows opened with 'Subdivisions', 'The Big Money', 'Force Ten' and 'Grand Designs', and the 2011 Time Machine shows began with 'The Spirit of Radio', 'Time Stand Still' and 'Presto'. In 2027 expect the classic songs to dominate, played by a four-piece with Loren Gold on keyboards; set lists will vary from night to night.
