Rush announced the five-date Elevate from the Norm residency at Sphere in Las Vegas on 5 November 2026. The shows are scheduled for 21, 23, 26, 28 and 30 May 2027.
Rush’s five May dates define the Sphere residency
At the 5 November 2026 announcement, the band named Sphere as the venue and Las Vegas as the city. The listed performances fall on 21, 23, 26, 28 and 30 May 2027.
Each date is part of the Elevate from the Norm residency, and the band says the sets will draw on its catalogue of favourites and greatest hits. Details appear in the official residency announcement.
Rush’s current line-up brings Lee, Lifeson and Nilles together
Rush are a Canadian progressive rock band whose co-founders are Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson. The official announcement names German drummer, composer and producer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Loren Gold for both the Fifty Something tour and the Sphere dates.
Paste lists the same four-person touring line-up in its account of the announcement. For the Sphere dates, that places Lee and Lifeson’s established core alongside the two musicians named for the live line-up.
Rush’s Sphere programme draws on 2112 and Moving Pictures
Geddy Lee said the planned programme would include all of 2112 and all of Moving Pictures, alongside other songs. The statement connects the Las Vegas residency with two named works from Rush’s existing catalogue rather than announcing a new release.
Sphere’s presentation is also part of the plan. The announcement names the venue’s LED display and Sphere Immersive Sound among the technologies used for the shows.
