Rush kicked off the 2026 Juno Awards with their first live performance in over 11 years, and their first since the 2020 death of longtime drummer and lyricist Neil Peart.
You can watch the newly reconfigured band – featuring founding bassist and singer Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson and newly recruited drummer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Loren Gold – perform “Finding My Way” below. The song is the opening track on Rush’s self-titled debut album and hasn’t been played live since 1980.
In October of 2025, Lee and Lifeson announced that they would be reuniting for the Fifty Something tour, which quickly expanded from multiple nights in a few North American cities to an 86-date world tour.
Peart, Lee and Lifeson made their last live appearance together in Los Angeles on Aug. 1, 2015 at the conclusion of their career-spanning R40 tour.
