Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Rush bring their Fifty Something Tour to Co-op Live, celebrating their catalogue and honouring late drummer Neil Peart.
Rush are playing Co-op Live on Friday 12 March 2027, as part of their Fifty Something Tour. It's an 'evening with' show, which means the focus is on the music rather than a standard support act. The Manchester date follows a completely sold-out 2026 North American run, so this is one of the few chances to catch them on this side of the Atlantic.
The set is built around two sets, with the setlists drawn from more than 40 songs. That's a wide pool to pull from, and the band's promise is that it'll cover their greatest hits alongside fan favourites. It's a long run of material to work with, so you're likely to hear things that rarely make it onto a typical tour bill alongside the songs everyone knows.
There's a double meaning to the night. On one hand, it's a celebration of their catalogue, the body of work that earned them a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. On the other, it's a tribute to their late drummer and lyricist Neil Peart, whose writing sat at the heart of so much of what they did. The two go hand in hand here: the songs they're playing are the same ones that made him such a central part of the band's history.
