Rush Rumored for 2027 Sphere Residency; Marc Anthony Adds Eight New Vegas Shows; Diana Ross Returns to Wynn

If the Las Vegas Sphere turns out to be the next home for Rush, the 2027 residency could reshape the city’s music calendar. According to a SiriusXM hard‑rock host and a UK tabloid, the band is in talks for a 16‑ to 18‑show run at the venue next year.

Eddie Trunk, who hosts a hard‑rock‑focused show on SiriusXM, said he had heard from reliable sources that Rush would play a series of shows in 2027. The Sun quoted a source who claimed negotiations have been “secretly going on for a while” and that contracts could be finalized within weeks. No confirmation has come from Rush, the Sphere, or the band’s management.

The only confirmed activity for the trio’s core members, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, is their “Rush: Fifty Something” tour, which began in 2025 and will conclude on April 10, 2027. The tour features drummer Anika Nilles and keyboardist Loren Gold and includes dates across North America, Europe and South America. If a Sphere residency is secured, it would likely be scheduled after the tour ends and after Metallica’s run at the venue, which finishes in March 2027.

In other Las Vegas news, Marc Anthony is extending his Fontainebleau residency. The casino resort announced eight additional fall performances of “Vegas… My Way!” at the BleauLive Theater. The new dates are September 11, 12, 13, 16, 18 and 19, followed by November 20 and 21. Ticket sales for the added shows begin at 10 a.m. PT on Friday, July 24, through Ticketmaster and the Fontainebleau website. The show is described as an intimate, bilingual showcase of Anthony’s three‑decade catalog, backed by a full live band and followed by late‑night sets at the property’s Nowhere Lounge.

Motown legend Diana Ross will return to the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas for a three‑night run on October 2–4. The shows follow her sold‑out performances over Valentine’s Day weekend. Tickets for the October dates go on sale at 10 a.m. PT on July 24 via Ticketmaster.

The Sphere, which opened in September 2023, is a 20,000‑seat venue known for its 16K LED interior and advanced acoustic technology. It has already hosted residencies for U2, Kenny Chesney, the Eagles, Dead & Company, Phish, the Backstreet Boys and No Doubt. The venue’s ownership is under Sphere Entertainment, a spin‑off of the Madison Square Garden Company.

At this time, the Rush residency remains unconfirmed. The band’s current tour schedule and the Sphere’s existing lineup of acts suggest a tight window for any new residency in 2027. Fans and industry observers will need to wait for an official announcement from Rush or the Sphere before any dates can be set.

The additional shows from Marc Anthony and Diana Ross illustrate the continued demand for high‑profile residencies in Las Vegas. Both artists have built long‑term relationships with the city’s venues, and their expanded engagements are expected to draw significant attendance.

In summary, Rush’s potential Sphere residency is based on unverified reports and has not been confirmed by any official source. The band’s current tour will finish in April 2027, leaving a possible window for a Sphere run after Metallica’s March engagement. Meanwhile, Marc Anthony and Diana Ross are adding new dates to their Las Vegas residencies, with tickets going on sale in late July.
