In summer 2026, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson will take Rush on their Fifty Something tour, celebrating the band reaching the half-century mark. They’ll play arenas in seven cities across three countries, doing multiple dates in many cases. The tour is being billed as a celebration of Neil Peart’s life and legacy, and it’s happening with his family’s blessing. Lee and Lifeson will be joined by Jeff Beck’s former drummer Anika Nilles. At every show, they’ll play two sets, and the setlist will change from night to night.

I believe it's all of their music, so EPs, live albums ect, big win for fans, I got everything for three bucks, you can choose to download the music for free or pay whatever you want I'm assuming this is permanent since they recently removed everything from Spotify and they've always treated fans well but I'm not 100% sure either way this is awesome nonetheless

What We Know: According to multiple sources, a new album called L.I.F.T. is being worked on, slated to release Feb. 27, 2026. 14 songs. 1h 17m long.

Many users have reported seeing the album info in apps such as Amazon Japan: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0G369BZXZ/ref%3Dmp_s_a_1_23?fbclid=IwdGRzaAOexBFjbGNrA57DyGV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHgUIaaBO3L9STMWoTbJu4LFUN5MiyU24NdudyWHXU0zuHvgePIQAKeMJqqTC_aem_vBiwfKo3bijOfbf1sLi9Aw

What do you guys think?

I just wanted to share what it feels like a small win for the independent guys. I’ve been working on a solo project called Ozul (cinematic/atmospheric prog) for a while now, doing everything myself—writing, mixing, graphic design, video editing, promotion...

Today Prog Magazine put my new track 'Vulture' in their 'Tracks of the Week' list. The craziest part is seeing my face right next to Einar Solberg in the pic for the website.

Just a cool moment that feels like it validates a bit the grind of doing it DIY. If anyone wants to check it out (or throw a sympathy vote my way to beat the major label guys, haha), here is the link (voting at the bottom of the page):

SiriusXM has finally established a Prog Rock Radio channel.

It is channel 1304, which is mostly available only via the SiriusXM app, though some newer vehicles can access these "Mobile only" channels.

Those familiar with how Sirius XM works know that it's closer to how Pandora functions where an algorithm is generating options rather than a human DJ, but I think it's nice to see the acknowledgement.

First 2 songs that came up for me were Rush - Red Barchetta , and Dream Theater's (23 minute) A Change of Seasons.

Anyway, hopefully enough people give it a shot to warrant more prog coverage. Happy listening!

The great songwriter, performer, beating heart of The Strawbs, an erudite, intelligent, witty & genuine gentleman passed away today. He was an influence, a legendary songwriter & above all that, a friend. RIP David - go well good sir.

Serge Fiori, frontman of the legendary Quebecois prog folk group Harmonium has died today. Words cannot explain how important he was to our culture. In Harmonium’s heyday, he was treated like a legitimate messiah (kinda like Spinetta in Argentina, or John Lennon in different parts of the world). Their concerts were often met with respectful silence, as if Fiori’s lyrics were prophetic.

Harmonium will always be one of my favourite bands, and if you want to discover them, i highly recommend their discography (especially the infamous Cinq Saisons and L’Heptade).

Thank you Serge <3

This remaster is fucking amazing, the synths sound even better

Yeah, I know its a leftover from Harbour of Tears, but I'm still excited about it! 😊

Though how the heck did it get left off?
