WHAT WENT DOWN
Rush postponed their June 30 and July 2 shows at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth hours before doors after Geddy Lee was diagnosed with laryngitis and bronchitis *†. Doctors told him to rest before returning to the stage *†.
THE DETAILS
- The June 30 date moves to July 11, and July 2 shifts to July 13 at the same venue *†.
- This is the second postponement for one of these shows — the July 2 concert was originally scheduled for June 24 but got moved due to travel and border delays *.
- Rush played Dickies Arena on June 26 and 28, their first North Texas shows since 2015 *.
- All tickets will be honored for the new dates; refunds are available at point of purchase for anyone who can't make it *†.
- The Fifty Something tour features Lee, Alex Lifeson, drummer Anika Nilles, and keyboardist Loren Gold playing nearly 40 Rush songs across two sets per night *.
- The 2026 leg expanded from 22 dates to 58 shows after the initial run sold out immediately *.
THE TAKE
Three weeks into a 58-show run, vocal rest isn't optional when you're singing Rush material night after night. Lee and Lifeson have ten days before the rescheduled Fort Worth dates and a South American and European leg booked for early 2027 *.
