Following Rush’s highly anticipated return to the stage, speculation surrounding a possible Las Vegas Sphere show has put the rock legends back in the spotlight.
The Sphere has become one of the most talked-about concert destinations in the world, thanks to its enormous immersive screen, cutting-edge visuals, and extraordinary sound technology. A Rush production at the venue could offer a spectacular new way to experience the band’s ambitious music and legendary catalog.
The band has now confirmed that the residency will be even bigger than originally announced. On November 11, Rush revealed that they had added five more performances to their schedule after fans showed what the group described as “incredible” demand.
Rush Add Five More Shows to Their Las Vegas Sphere Residency
Rush will now play 10 shows at the Las Vegas Sphere in 2027, doubling their original five-date residency.
The newly expanded schedule includes five performances in May and another five in June. The shows will feature Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, drummer Anika Nilles, and keyboardist Loren Gold.
The band originally announced its Elevate From The Norm residency on November 5, with performances scheduled for May 21, 23, 26, 28, and 30.
The newly added June dates are:
- June 15
- June 17
- June 19
- June 24
- June 26
Rush celebrated the announcement with a simple but enthusiastic message: “Wow! Thank you everyone!”
Fans Can Expect Full Performances of ‘2112’ and ‘Moving Pictures’
Rush won’t simply rely on a greatest-hits setlist for their Sphere residency. The band plans to perform two of its most celebrated releases in their entirety: the 1976 album 2112 and the 1981 classic Moving Pictures. Both albums hold an important place in Rush’s history.
The performances will also include additional selections from the band’s extensive catalog, giving fans a career-spanning celebration of Rush’s music.
The setlist will also honor the legacy of late drummer and lyricist Neil Peart, whose extraordinary musicianship and songwriting helped define the band’s identity.
Geddy Lee Says the Sphere Is Perfect for Rush’s Ambitious Shows
Geddy Lee previously expressed his excitement about bringing Rush’s elaborate live production to the Sphere.
When the band first announced the residency, Lee explained that he immediately thought the venue would suit Rush’s long-standing approach to concert visuals.
He noted that the band typically spends months developing visual effects for its performances. The Sphere gives them an opportunity to take those creative ideas even further.
Lee also revealed that the group is working on new production concepts specifically designed for the venue.
