Rush is giving fans even more opportunities to experience their music live at the Sphere in Las Vegas. Just days after announcing an initial five-show residency for 2027, the legendary rock band has added five additional performances in response to overwhelming fan demand.
“WOW! Thank you everyone,” the band announced on Instagram. “Due to incredible demand, FIVE NEW SHOWS have been added to RUSH live at Sphere Las Vegas!”
Originally scheduled to perform five shows in May 2027, Rush will now extend its residency with five more concerts the following month, bringing the total to 10 performances.
Rush Announces Five Additional Sphere Shows
The expanded residency, titled Elevate From The Norm, marks an exciting new chapter for Rush. Founded by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, the band is preparing to bring its celebrated music and spectacular live production to one of the world’s most technologically advanced entertainment venues.
Presale tickets for the newly announced dates and original performances are available, with the presale window scheduled to close at 10 p.m. PT on November 12.
What Fans Can Expect From Rush’s Sphere Residency
According to the band’s original announcement, the Elevate From The Norm residency will feature a collection of fan favorites and greatest hits spanning Rush’s legendary catalogue. The performances will celebrate the band’s musical legacy and honor the memory of its late drummer and lyricist, Neil Peart.
Geddy Lee expressed his excitement about the opportunity, explaining that he initially thought the Sphere would have been a perfect venue for Rush’s elaborate visual productions back when he first heard about it.
“When I first heard of Sphere, I thought to myself, ‘Wow, what a shame that Rush is no longer touring, because this venue sounds tailor made for the kind of visual attitude with which we have always designed our shows,’” Lee said.
He also explained that the band traditionally spends months developing visual effects for its concerts, making the Sphere an especially exciting opportunity for its creative team.
“But life is nothing if not surprising and now, here we are, living and touring in the present tense and we are able to make that particular dream come true,” he added.
Two Iconic Albums to Be Performed in Full
One of the biggest highlights for longtime Rush fans will be the opportunity to hear two of the band’s most celebrated albums performed in their entirety.
Lee revealed that the group plans to perform its groundbreaking 1976 album 2112 and its iconic 1981 record Moving Pictures, alongside a selection of additional songs from across its catalogue.
The band is also working on expanding its traditional concert concepts and creating new visual experiences specifically designed for the Sphere’s immersive technology.
“We are so effin’ excited to make use of this incredible opportunity to please our fans both visually and viscerally—from wherever they might fly in from,” Lee said. “Gonna be so much fun!!”
With five additional performances now confirmed, Rush’s 2027 Sphere residency is shaping up to be a major celebration of the band’s enduring music, groundbreaking albums, and remarkable legacy.
