An opportunity to revisit the works of this legendary trio formed in 1968 in Canada. Consisting at the time of bassist, keyboardist, and vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson, and drummer and lyricist Neil Peart, who passed away in 2020, the band quickly built a formidable reputation. This was thanks largely to their intricate compositions and lyrics exploring a broad range of themes. Celebrated as one of Canada's greatest musical acts, Rush continually pushed the boundaries and redefined rock music. Their fame is further evidenced by their appointments—named officers of the Order of Canada in 1996 and recipients of the Governor General's Award for Performance Arts in 2012. They also earned stars on both the Canada Walk of Fame and the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In October 2025, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson decided to reunite Rush and hit the road once again the following year, this time joined by German drummer Anika Nilles. Together, they aim to pay tribute to the late Neil Peart and celebrate over five decades of legendary music. If you’ve never seen Rush perform live, now’s the perfect chance to catch up! Make sure to be at Paris La Défense Arena on February 19, 2027.
