Rush added five June performances to its Sphere residency in Las Vegas.

After the initial rush, it seemed likely that Rush would announce more Las Vegas Sphere dates for 2027, and the band has now done so.

The group is extending its recently announced “Elevate From the Norm” residency with five additional shows.

When are Rush playing more Las Vegas Sphere shows, and what should fans expect?

Rush’s added Sphere shows are scheduled for June 15, 17, 19, 24 and 26, following five previously announced performances in May. Geddy Lee has described plans for ambitious visuals and performances that could include complete albums.

The added Rush Sphere dates are June 15, 17, 19, 24 and 26.

Rush’s previously announced May performances are scheduled for May 21, 23, 26, 28 and 30. The newly announced June dates are:

• June 15
• June 17
• June 19
• June 24
• June 26

The band announced the additions with a message thanking fans and citing strong demand: “WOW! Thank you everyone. Due to incredible demand, FIVE NEW SHOWS have been added to RUSH live at Sphere Las Vegas!”

Rush’s reunion lineup features surviving members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, joined by drummer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Loren Gold. The four musicians have performed songs from the band’s catalog using rotating setlists.

Sphere’s visual capabilities influenced Lee’s response to the residency. When Rush announced the shows in early November, he said the venue seemed suited to the visual approach the band had developed for its performances.

Lee explained that Sphere could give the group’s design team a way to realize ideas for visual effects and stage presentation. He said the band was developing concepts for the venue while preparing music from its catalog.

Lee also said the planned repertoire could include all of 2112, all of Moving Pictures and a selection of other Rush songs. Those album performances were described as part of the group’s plans, alongside music it had played in one-off cities.
