Rush to return to Las Vegas for five-night Sphere residency

Bassist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson announced on Wednesday that the remaining members of Rush will perform a five-date residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas next year. The concerts are scheduled for May 21, 23, 26, 28, and 30, 2027. The group aims to use the venue’s immersive technology to showcase the band's extensive musical catalog.

The performance lineup will include the complete albums '2112' and 'Moving Pictures,' alongside other selections. Lee stated that the band is currently developing new staging concepts to fit the Sphere's unique capabilities. He described the effort as a way to replicate the intensity of their previous standalone shows in specific cities. The sets will also serve as a tribute to the legacy of late drummer and lyricist Neil Peart.

Lee explained that he immediately saw a fit between the band's visual style and the Sphere when the venue first opened. He noted that the space seemed designed for the kind of visual presentation Rush has utilized in past tours. The Sphere features an LED display that surrounds the audience and an audio system known as Sphere Immersive Sound.

The band is currently on its Fifty Something tour, which has sold more than one million tickets across North America, South America, Europe, and the United Kingdom. For the Las Vegas residency, Lee and Lifeson will be joined by German drummer and producer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Loren Gold.

Ticket sales for the general public begin on November 13 at 10 a.m. PT. A presale for registered fans starts on November 11 at 10 a.m. PT through the Seated platform. VIP and travel package sales open on November 6 at 10 a.m. PT, with an exclusive two-hour window for Rush Backstage and newsletter subscribers.

Lee and Lifeson are both inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Lee handles bass, keys, and vocals, while Lifeson plays guitar and vocals. Additional information and links are available at rush.com/sphere.
