Guitarist Alex Lifeson and bassist Geddy Lee of Rush performed at the United Center in Chicago on Thursday, July 16, 2026. This concert is part of a series of four shows scheduled through the following Wednesday.
The band’s performance included a tribute to their late drummer, Neil Peart. This tribute came before the second song of the evening. Peart was Rush’s drummer until he succumbed to cancer in early 2020. The tribute marked Rush’s initial direct homage to Peart during this concert series.
The United Center was filled to capacity as fans gathered to witness the band perform. The concerts highlight Rush’s enduring connection with their audience as they continue to play their memorable music even after Peart’s passing.
