About
Rush plays Rogers Place in Edmonton on December 10, 2026, the first of two nights in the band's run at the arena. It is a concert visit, and a good one for anyone who wants to hear a live rock band at full stretch in a large hall.
The band and the music
Rush is a Canadian progressive rock trio made up of Neil Peart, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson. The group is known for its technical skill and for compositions that shift in tempo, meter and structure. Listeners who enjoy intricate playing will find plenty to follow, and the evening is built around that musicianship rather than around spectacle alone.
What to expect
- A career-spanning setlist that draws on the band's most celebrated material
- Rock performed as an arena show, with the full power of the trio on stage
- Two nights in the same venue, so the first date is a chance to plan around the second
The venue and the city
Rogers Place is the arena in downtown Edmonton, the capital of Alberta. Fans travelling to the show can combine the concert with time in the city, which offers its own range of places to eat, stay and walk after the final encore.
For a visitor, the appeal lies in seeing a legendary progressive rock band in person, in a large venue, on a winter evening in Canada. Those who know the records will hear them played live, and those who are new to the band will get a clear sense of why its following has lasted.
