Rush: « Fifty Something Tour »

Rush’s Fifty Something Tour stops in Manchester on 12 March 2027 at Co‑op Live, 1 Sportcity Way. Formed in Toronto in 1968, the Canadian trio shaped a sound at the crossroads of hard rock, progressive rock and, at times, heavy metal. On stage, their music s’appuie sur des structures longues, des signatures rythmiques changeantes et un sens mélodique précis, porté par un format power trio.

A set drawing from across their catalogue is on the cards: the raw blues‑rock edges of the self‑titled debut, the conceptual arc of 2112 and the tight, riff‑led focus of Moving Pictures, the synth and new‑wave textures of Signals, then a gradual tilt back toward guitars on Vapor Trails and Clockwork Angels. The lyrics, largely written by Neil Peart, touch on science fiction, introspection and social questions, giving the songs a narrative spine that takes shape in concert.

Between Geddy Lee’s distinctive blend of bass, keys and vocals and Alex Lifeson’s layered guitars, Rush brings the precision and dynamic shifts that ont façonné leur identité scénique, revisiting plusieurs décennies de musique avec la clarté et l’élan d’un groupe sûr de sa trajectoire.
