Rush Brazil 2027 is the rock event of next summer: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson bring the ‘Fifty Something’ tour to six Brazilian stadium shows between January 22 and February 4, the band’s first visit in 17 years.
For expats in Brazil, this is the rarest kind of ticket — a band many thought would never tour again, playing two sets a night from a catalog of more than 40 songs.
Rush Brazil 2027: The Six Nights
The run opens in Curitiba on January 22, hits São Paulo’s Allianz Parque twice, then moves through Rio’s Nilton Santos, Belo Horizonte’s Mineirão and Brasília’s Arena BRB.
Each night follows the ‘evening with’ format: two full sets, no opening act, and a different setlist built from more than 40 songs.
A Return Few Expected
After Neil Peart’s death in 2020, Rush seemed finished; Lee and Lifeson announced the reunion tour in 2025 to instant sellouts across North America.
Anika Nilles — Jeff Beck’s former touring drummer — takes the seat, with Loren Gold on keyboards.
Seventeen Years Since the Last Visit
Rush last played Brazil on the ‘Time Machine’ tour; this run is only the band’s third-ever visit to the country.
The production is by Brazilian live giant 30e, presented by Itaú, with tickets exclusively via Eventim.
Practical Tips for Expats
Tickets via Eventim from R$ 222.50 (about US$42) for half-price upper seats; floor and premium tiers climb steeply, and VIP experiences reach five figures in reais.
January 24 in São Paulo is sold out; the added January 26 show and the other five cities remained on sale in recent checks.
