Will there be a livestream of rush’s concert in 2026?

I know it’s too much to ask, but i just think this is my only chance to see them live. I live in Pakistan so it’s just not possible for me to fly all the way to us , and don’t get me started on the ticket prices they are just outrageous.

 

now don’t get me wrong i love those guys,  it’s not their fault tickets are expensive.

I would imagine that there will be a few live streams of the first show. I know that people used periscope for the last tour, but I don't know if that works anymore. It'll probably be youtube.

I’d expect some sort of global access available for at least one show—if not the first one, maybe one from the Toronto homestand—along the lines of Black Sabbath’s “Back To The Beginning” farewell concert from Birmingham this past July. 
(Which was awesome, if you didn’t see it, and I think very reasonably priced.) 

And, yeah, these days, YouTube pretty much offers blanket coverage of any concert tour anywhere. 
 

Failing that, the way shows keep getting added, maybe they’ll do two nights in Karachi! 🙂

There likely won't be streams this time around but people who go to the first few shows (especially the first) will likely film a lot of it. Unless there's a phone ban but eventually something will break through.

An official, paid broadcast similar to the Ozzy gig? Doubtful. There's 58 shows now across the tour which hinders the exclusivity of it despite it being a "reunion" tour of sorts, and Geddy has already hinted at Europe and South America in 2027.

 

Fan broadcasts? You bet. I see no reason why there won't be the usual fan streams, fan footage, and "full show" uploads to YouTube in the immediate aftermath of the gigs.

 

Officially, I can't see why there won't be an accompanying new concert film and documentary when all is said and done - but that'll come much later.

I'm looking forward to shaky cameras with drunk people trying to sing. Add a Woo! to every fifth word.

An official Livestream? I don't think so. Fan streams and full concert videos on YouTube? Absolutely. Unless there's a phone ban like Union mentioned, but there's always someone who will break the rules to get a video.

😂😂Rush trying to sell tickets in Pakistan will be like growing a watermelon in easter hay, Pakistani audience likes pop and rap. I only know 3 people in my social circle who like rush and they are all rock musicians. If it happens i will go see them. Haha

Looks like it was shut down in 2021 due to a low user base. Bummer. Thankfully there are plenty of options to choose from now.

I left a comment in your new thread as well but Geddy mentioned in a recent interview that they are discussing taking the tour to Europe and Asia in 2027. Knowing them it will probably happen. I hope you get to see them!

I doubt they'll do an official live stream, but there's no way they don't film at least one show for a blu-ray/live album release. They've done that for every tour since they got back together in 2002.

They'll definitely film this tour and probably record a few shows for a live album, like they did for R40.

I hope the live album is a double, and has one take of each of the 38 (or so) songs that are in the sample pool.
