On April 8th, Russia's launching their 50-something tour in 2026, celebrating over 50 years of Prague Rock Mastery. It kicks off June 7th at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, the exact venue for their final show with Neil Part back in 2015. Expect multiple nights in key spots to pack in the fans. The run starts with four shows in LA, then hits Mexico City twice, Fort Worth four times, Chicago four nights, New York four, Toronto four, and Rolls. Through Philly, Detroit, Montreal, Boston, Cleveland, and more across the U.S. Canada and Texas into December, come 2027. They head south to Buenos Aires, multiple Brazil stops like São Paulo and Rio, then Europe with Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Munich, London O2 Arena for three nights, and cities like Glasgow, Manchester, Crackow, Milan, up to Helsinki. Drummers still hail Part as the ultimate row model for his melodic style, wild tonal range, and signature ride symbol punch that cuts through every mix.

His snare hits were pure him, not gear, instantly recognizable and tough to copy. He never phoned it in either, always twisting repeats into fresh fills that define rush songs, keeping everything composed and essential. This tour feels like a nod to that innovation, bridging past fire with what's next for Getty and Alex. I'm Corey with The Story, and you've been listening to Music News today, AI-powered music coverage.
