\n\tFor five days next spring, part of Sin City will turn into Megadon when Rush<\/a> move into the Sphere for a five-night residency. Fresh off the trio\u2019s celebrated comeback tour, the group\u2019s Elevate From the Norm engagement will take place on May 21, 23, 26, 28, and 30. The group\u2019s set lists will include hits and fan favorites, as well as full-album performances of their landmark 2112<\/a> <\/em>and Moving Pictures <\/em>albums.<\/p>\n

\n\tTickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, November 13th. Presales begin on Friday. Full details are on the band\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhen I first heard of Sphere, I thought to myself, \u2018Wow, what a shame that Rush is no longer touring, because this venue sounds tailor-made for the kind of visual attitude with which we have always designed our shows,’\u201d Geddy Lee said in a statement. \u201cNormally we spend months designing the visual effects for our shows and this scenario seemed like the cherry on top of the ice cream for our design team.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBut life is nothing if not surprising and now, here we are, living and touring in the present tense and we are able to make that particular dream come true,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe are presently working hard to expand our touring concepts and concoct some new madness to suit this incredible venue and musically perform the kind of show we\u2019ve been doing in some of our \u2018one off\u2019 cities. Meaning playing all of 2112<\/em> and all of Moving Pictures<\/em> along with an array of other songs. We are so effin\u2019 excited to make use of this incredible opportunity to please our fans both visually and viscerally \u2014 from wherever they might fly in from. Gonna be so much fun!!\u201d<\/p>\n
