The boy band’s performances, titled “The Right Stuff,” at Park MGM‘s Dolby Live will now also include shows on Feb. 14, 15, 18, 20, 21, 25, 27, and 28.

In 2026!
Tickets for the new dates will be available for purchase starting at 10 a.m. on Thursday, October 3, while tickets for the previously announced 16 dates from June 20 to November 15, 2025, will go on sale at 10 a.m. today.

All tickets can be bought here.

Scorpions Anniversary Stings

It’s hard to believe that it will soon be 60 years since the Scorpions were formed. The West German hard rockers are commemorating their anniversary with their third residency at Planet Hollywood, titled “The Scorpions – Coming Home to Las Vegas 60th Anniversary Residency.” The shows will take place on Feb. 27 and March 1, 6, 8, and 11 at the casino hotel’s PH Live theater.

Although only Rudy Schenker is an original member of the band, he is truly coming home for this special residency.

Tickets for the shows will go on sale on Saturday at 10 a.m. PT via Ticketmaster.

Black AI’ed Peas

Black Eyed Peas are introducing a new member created through artificial intelligence for their upcoming 15-date “3008 Las Vegas Residency” at Planet Hollywood in February. Alongside Will.i.am, Apple de Ap, Taboo, and J. Rey Soul, the group will now include Vida, an AI entity programmed to replicate human experiences. Vida, which means “life” in Spanish and Portuguese, will be the most interactive component of the show, singing with the group and connected to every band member, stagehand, and audience member who wishes to engage.

Will.i.am was inspired to create Vida after seeing how Taylor Swift integrated cutting-edge technology into her “Eras” tour.

Robbie Vetoes Venetian

Pop star Robbie Williams, formerly of Take That, declined a lucrative offer for a residency at Voltaire at the Venetian, according to British tabloid The Sun, which described the venue’s organizers as “absolutely gutted” as tickets would have sold out immediately. Williams, a huge star in Britain, never achieved the same level of success in the United States. However, Voltaire’s bookers understand that fans will travel abroad to see their favorite artists in Las Vegas, as demonstrated by the sold-out shows of Kylie Minogue at the venue. Williams and Minogue collaborated on the song “Kids” from Williams’ album “Sing When You’re Winning” in 2000.

New Restarted Heart

Heart has added a second date to their Royal Flush Tour at Fontainebleau‘s BleauLive Theater. Following the rescheduled Feb. 28 performance, the band will now also perform on March 1. Tickets ranging from $59 to $299 are currently available for purchase here.
