Rush’s 4-show Madison Square Garden run is underway (night 2 pics, video, setlist)

Rush are nearly two months into their first tour in over 11 years, since 2015 and the death of drummer Neil Peart in 2020. This run has them joined by Anika Nilles, who has played in Jeff Beck‘s band, on drums, and they’re currently in NYC, in the midst of a four-show run at Madison Square Garden. We caught them at show two on Thursday (7/30), where they delivered an epic 28-song set filled with tributes to Peart. See pictures by The Tinfoil Biter below, along with the setlist and attendee-taken video.

Rush’s tour continues through December of this year in North America and into 2027 for shows in South America and Europe. See all dates below.
