Rush concert chronology

The R40 Live Tour was a 2015 concert tour by Canadian rock band Rush that commemorated the 40th anniversary of drummer Neil Peart joining the band in July 1974. The title hearkens back to Rush's 2005 R30 tour that celebrated the 30 year anniversary of the band. The tour began on May 8 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and concluded in Inglewood, California on August 1. It is expected to be Rush's last large-scale tour. The shows performed on June 17 and 19, 2015 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto were filmed and released as the concert film R40 Live on November 20, 2015.
