Hotels for RUSH: Fifty Something Tour

A fiftieth-anniversary run for a band built on odd time signatures, side-long suites and a fanbase that argues happily about which live album is best. Expect a set drawn from across five decades, played by musicians who still do it without a click track or a safety net. A Tuesday evening slot means an early finish for the working week, so the crowd tends to skew toward people who planned this months in advance. Anyone who saw the last tour will be comparing notes before the house lights even go down.

Set beneath its unmistakable tented roof on the Greenwich Peninsula, The O2 is one of the world's busiest indoor arenas, drawing global music tours, comedy and sport year-round. The complex wraps the arena in cinemas, restaurants and riverside bars, with the Thames Path and cable car close by. The Jubilee line reaches North Greenwich in minutes, and riverboats offer a scenic alternative. Staying on the peninsula or across in Greenwich means an easy walk or short hop back after the encore.
