Rush Announce Their First Sphere Residency

Rush Bring Five Nights And All Of 2112 And Moving Pictures To Sphere

Published November 10, 2026

Rush will play five nights at Sphere in May 2027, the band’s first residency in Las Vegas. Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson announced the run on November 5 under the name Elevate From the Norm. It arrives midway through the Fifty Something reunion tour, the band’s first road run since 2015. Tickets go on general sale Friday, November 13 at 10 a.m. PT.

Elevate From The Norm Lands On Five May Nights

The residency runs May 21, 23, 26, 28 and 30, 2027, every show at Sphere. Lee plays bass, keys and sings lead, Lifeson plays guitar and sings, and they are joined by drummer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Loren Gold. The set draws on the hits and plays 2112 and Moving Pictures in full, which reads as a tribute to Neil Peart.

Lee has described the venue as tailor made for what the band does, and the full-album plan is what turns these nights into a production rather than a concert. The screen wraps the audience and covers 160,000 square feet, so a band booking five nights there is buying more than a stage. The nearest thing already running is the Sphere’s Wizard of Oz run, which turns the same room into a staged film.

Three Windows To Buy, And The Last One Is The One That Matters

If you want to be in the building, know the order. VIP and travel packages opened November 6, first to RUSH Backstage and newsletter subscribers, then to everyone at noon. The artist presale opens Wednesday, November 11 at 10 a.m. PT, and it requires registering through Seated in advance for a code.

General on sale follows on Friday, November 13 at 10 a.m. PT. Five nights is a generous allocation for a band on a reunion tour that has already sold more than a million tickets, and the presale demand reflects it. If you are booking flights, May 21 and May 30 bracket the run and usually carry the widest hotel availability at either end.

Where This Sits Alongside The Rest Of Sphere

A trip built around Rush can carry a second show, because Sphere runs its own productions all year alongside the residencies. The room seats about 18,600 and holds up to 20,000 with the floor open.

For a residency rather than a one-off, concert residencies on the Strip cover the rest of the calendar, from country to rock to pop, and several run across the same spring window.

Booking The Rest Of The Trip

Start with the general on sale on November 13 for the show itself. Everything around it is where we can help. Las Vegas show tickets, hotels at either end of the Strip and the rest of your May itinerary can all be booked in one place, which beats assembling the trip across four different sites.

Dates worth holding: May 21, 23, 26, 28 and 30, 2027.
