RUSH Surprise Juno Awards with First Performance in 11 Years
Key Points:
- RUSH surprised fans at the Juno Awards in Hamilton on March 29th by performing "Finding My Way," their first live show in nearly 11 years and first since drummer Neil Peart's passing in 2020.
- The performance introduced RUSH's new touring lineup, featuring original members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, with new drummer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Loren Gold.
- "Finding My Way," from their 1974 debut album, had not been played in full live since 1976, marking a significant moment for the band and fans.
- RUSH last performed in 2015 during their "R40 Live Tour," and although Lee and Lifeson played RUSH songs at tribute concerts in 2022, those were not billed as official RUSH performances.
- The band announced a 2026 North American tour starting June 7th in Los Angeles and running through December 17th in Vancouver, signaling a major comeback for the prog-rock legends.
