Rush are set to bring their explosive live show to Las Vegas' cutting-edge Sphere venue for what promises to be an unforgettable residency. As the band embarks on their 'Fifty Something' tour – a 2027 jaunt that will see them crisscross the UK, Europe, and South America – whispers of a residency have been building momentum. And now, it's emerged that talks with Sphere are at an advanced stage, with as many as 18 shows reportedly already locked in.
These developments follow hot on the heels of SiriusXM host Eddie Trunk's explosive claim that a deal for Rush's Las Vegas stint was all but done and dusted. While neither Rush nor Sphere has officially confirmed these reports – at least not yet, anyway – insiders suggest contracts could be inked in the coming weeks. One thing is certain: this would mark another major milestone in Rush's illustrious touring career.
The 'Fifty Something' tour itself promises to be a sonic odyssey, with Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson reprising their iconic roles as the band's vocal and guitar masterminds – joined by drummer Anika Nilles. As they tackle the highs and lows of their remarkable discography, fans will get to relive some of Rush's most beloved tracks in all their glory.
The prospect of a Las Vegas residency, meanwhile, has sent shockwaves through the music world. Sphere, which burst onto the scene in 2023 with a price tag of £1.7 billion, is already renowned for its revolutionary technology – think an exterior façade featuring over 1.2 million LED pucks that put on their own show.
U2 were among the first to experience the magic of Sphere, kicking off its inaugural season with a string of sold-out shows. Since then, Phish, Dead & Company, the Eagles, and even the Backstreet Boys have all brought their A-game to the venue – while Metallica confirmed an extended residency this year that's already generated huge buzz.
UK fans will be keeping fingers crossed for more news on a Sphere residency, but for now, they've got plenty to look forward to in 2027. With Rush set to deliver a live show that will leave them breathless, one thing is certain: this is a band that's still very much in the game – and their fans can't wait to join them on tour.
