Jessica Simpson recently announced a special one-night concert at PH Live in Planet Hollywood, scheduled for November 8.

The artist, who separated from her second spouse, NFL tight end Eric Johnson, in January and has transitioned to a part-time residence in Nashville, made a musical comeback with her first release in 15 years titled “Nashville Canyon, Pt. 1” back in March. She is set to unveil “Pt. 2” on September 4.

The former star of “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica” last graced the Las Vegas stage on May 8, 2009, during a charity event for the Rape Crisis Center at the Pearl at the Palms.

After that performance, she shifted her focus away from music to embrace motherhood and her fashion brand. In 2021, she published a New York Times bestselling memoir titled “Open Book.”

Tickets for this highly anticipated concert will be available starting at 10 a.m. PT on Monday, August 18, through Ticketmaster, with a presale beginning at 10 a.m. PT on Friday, August 15.

Sphere-ious Business

The reunited Backstreet Boys have announced seven additional shows for their ongoing residency at the Las Vegas Sphere.

These performances are scheduled for December 26, 27, 28, 30, 31, and January 2-3, increasing their show count to 21.

“We mentioned we were wrapping up for the year, but that was before you sold out 21 nights at @SphereVegas!” they said in an announcement on social media. “We worked diligently to arrange additional dates so that everyone can catch the show in Vegas.”

Tickets for the new “Into the Millennium” shows will go on sale at 9 a.m. PT on Friday, August 22, via Ticketmaster.
