RUSH Reportedly Nearing a Las Vegas Sphere Residency

The chatter picked up steam after radio host Eddie Trunk said on his SiriusXM show that his sources were calling a Rush Sphere residency a done deal, with 16 to 18 shows rumored for 2027. The Sun followed with its own sourcing, reporting that talks have been going on quietly for a while and that contracts could be finalized within weeks. JamBase and Sonic Perspectives both picked up the story from there, and it has since spread across more than a dozen music outlets in a matter of days.

None of that is a press release. It is sourcing built on an industry radio host and a UK tabloid, which counts for something in the concert business but still falls short of an announcement. If the two sides really are this close, expect official confirmation before the end of summer.

Rush spent more than a decade apart before Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson reformed the band in October 2025. Drummer Neil Peart, who helped define the band's sound for over 40 years, died in January 2020, and the reunited lineup now plays with German drummer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Loren Gold rounding out the sound. They are currently out on the Fifty Something tour, their first tour since 2015, which launched in June and runs with dates booked into April 2027 across North America, Europe and South America.

A Sphere residency would be the biggest stage Rush has played as a reunited act, and it would put the band in the same company as U2, Eagles, Phish, Dead and Company and Metallica, acts that have already committed to the venue's format of long, spread out residencies rather than a standard tour stop.

Not yet. There is no confirmed date, no ticket link and no official word from either side, so booking flights around a radio host's sourcing is premature no matter how strong the rumor sounds. What you can do is watch for an announcement in the coming weeks, since that is the window being reported.

If it does happen, the Sphere sits behind the Venetian and Palazzo on the east side of the Strip, so those two hotels are the walk-in option once real dates and tickets exist. For now, this is one to bookmark, not book.
