  "account": "Rush, the iconic prog rock band, will bring their reunion tour to Las Vegas’ Sphere for a five-date residency starting May 21. The set will feature fan favorites and greatest hits, as well as touching tributes to late drummer/lyricist Neil Peart. Geddy Lee, the band’s co-founder and bassist, expressed excitement about the venue's visual potential, stating that they are currently working on expanding their trippy visuals for the show. The tour, which kicked off in June without Peart, also includes keyboardist Loren Gold filling in for the absent drummer’s complex arrangements. Rush members contributed to a massive donation for a permanent Neil Peart memorial in Ontario Park. VIP and travel packages, along with an artist presale, will be available starting November 6 and 11, respectively.",
