State Farm Arena: Atlanta's Premier Concert Destination

State Farm Arena is the undisputed home of major live entertainment in Atlanta. Situated in the heart of Downtown Atlanta at One State Farm Drive, this 21,000-capacity arena sits within one of the most energized entertainment corridors in the American South. Flanked by Centennial Olympic Park to the west and the bustling streets of Downtown to the east, State Farm Arena draws fans from across metro Atlanta, the broader Southeast, and well beyond.

Originally opened in 1999 as Philips Arena, the venue underwent a transformative $192 million renovation that was completed in 2018, cementing its status as one of the most modern, fan-forward arenas in the country. The renovation brought upgraded acoustics, expanded concourses, world-class food and beverage options, and dramatically improved sightlines from every seat in the house. For a concert like RUSH: Fifty Something at State Farm Arena, those acoustic upgrades matter enormously — this is a band whose music demands to be heard at its absolute best.

Getting to State Farm Arena is straightforward for Atlanta fans. The arena is directly accessible via MARTA, Atlanta's rapid transit system, with the Dome/GWCC/CNN Center station and the Five Points station both within easy walking distance. Parking is available in multiple adjacent decks, but MARTA remains the fastest, most stress-free way to arrive and depart on a busy show night. Whether you're coming from Buckhead, Decatur, Midtown, or the suburbs, MARTA connects you directly to the action.

RUSH: Fifty Something Takes the Stage

RUSH is not just a band — they are a cultural institution in rock music. Formed in Toronto in 1968, Rush built one of the most devoted, intellectually engaged fan bases in the history of live music through five decades of relentless creativity, technical mastery, and uncompromising artistic vision. The trio of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and the late Neil Peart redefined what a rock band could achieve, blending progressive complexity with hard rock power and lyrical depth that set them apart from every contemporary.

The RUSH: Fifty Something concert event honors that extraordinary legacy. More than fifty years after the band began their journey, this show is a celebration of everything Rush built — the albums, the tours, the moments that defined generations of rock fans. For Atlanta, this is not simply a concert; it is a pilgrimage for the city's passionate and deeply knowledgeable rock community. RUSH in Atlanta has always drawn fervent audiences, and this show at State Farm Arena carries the full weight of that history.

The setlist, the production, the sheer scale of what Rush delivers on a stage — all of it converges on November 27th in Downtown Atlanta. This is a band whose catalog runs from the early hard rock of Working Man to the progressive epics of 2112 and Hemispheres, through the synth-driven ambition of the 1980s and back to the raw power of their later work. Every era of Rush is worthy of celebration, and RUSH: Fifty Something is the event built to do exactly that.
