Rush performed their first full-length concert in 11 years on Sunday at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles and you can see dozens of photos from the show below.

As noted in our in-person review of the concert, Rush performed two dozen songs during the two-set show, opening with the 11-minute A Farewell to Kings epic "Xanadu" and featuring special guest star Aimee Mann on the Hold Your Fire hit "Time Stand Still."

It was the first time singer-bassist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson performed a full Rush show since 2015 and the first since the 2020 death of their longtime drummer Neil Peart.

Anika Nilles, who Lee and Lifeson recruited to play drums on this tour, was greeted by rousing waves of applause as she ably handled Peart's most famous and complicated parts. The band was also joined by live keyboardist Loren Gold.

Sunday night was the first of four sold-out shows Rush will play at the Forum, with concerts also slated for the 9th, 11th and 13th. The Fifty Something tour is scheduled to run well into 2027, with the last confirmed date currently set for April 10th in Helsinki, Finland.

You can get complete show and ticket information at the band's official website.
