Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Monday, July 20, 2026, that Rush has been negotiating with the Sphere and that talks could be finalized in the coming weeks, though neither the band nor the venue has issued an official announcement.
- Longtime radio host Eddie Trunk has told listeners the deal is a “done” one and that the run could total about 16 to 18 shows, a figure repeated by fan sites and trade pages but not yet verified by primary parties.
- Rush is currently touring the U.S. and Canada on the 'Fifty Something' tour with Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson joined by drummer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Loren Gold, a tour that has grown to 58 shows with over half a million tickets sold for 2026.
- The Sphere is a 17,600-capacity venue known for an immersive 16K wraparound LED screen and spatial audio, and it has hosted recent major residencies by acts such as U2, Phish, Dead & Company, the Eagles, and Metallica.
- If the residency goes ahead it could shift Rush’s routing and boost ticket demand in Las Vegas, and observers should watch for an official announcement and for published dates and ticketing details that will confirm the scale and timing of the run.
