Every Las Vegas Residency Playing October 2026 Through September 2027

A residency beats a tour stop for one plain reason: the artist waits for you. Metallica plays Sphere on ten more nights between October 8 and November 7, so you pick the weekend; a tour hits your town once and leaves. Residencies do run in blocks with dark weeks between them, though, and a trip that lands in a gap sees nothing. Our residencies listing covers who lives here; the calendar below covers when, month by month through December 31, 2026 and on into spring 2027, with every date checked against the venues' on-sale calendars on October 7, 2026, and the 2027 additions re-checked on October 25.

October is the deepest month, with Metallica, Josh Groban, New Kids on the Block, Earth, Wind & Fire, Tom Jones, Mary J. Blige and Tim McGraw all overlapping. November thins out to the Eagles, Santana's second block and Lisa's Colosseum debut. December is rodeo week plus the Backstreet Boys at Sphere for New Year's. September's runs have played: Carín León's seven Sphere nights, Santana's first block and Sammy Hagar's last five dates, while Scorpions never took the stage, their residency pushed to September 2027.

What already played this fall

September belonged to Carín León at Sphere: seven nights, September 4 to 13, as the first Latin headliner in the building's history. He is already booked back for September 16 to 18, 2027; Sphere's 2027 calendar has since filled in with the Eagles, Metallica, Oprah Winfrey's one weekend and John Mayer's 21 nights, all listed in the 2027 section below.

Marc Anthony played the BleauLive Theater at Fontainebleau on September 11, 12, 13, 18 and 19; his "Vegas… My Way!" residency returns November 20 and 21 on Grand Prix weekend, then February 12, 13, 17, 19 and 20, 2027, and again September 10, 11, 17, 18 and 19, 2027. Santana finished the first of his two fall House of Blues blocks on September 27 and is back November 4 to 15, with January and May 2027 blocks already on sale.

Two rock residencies were booked for the third week and only one happened. Scorpions postponed "Coming Home to Las Vegas," the 60th-anniversary run at PH Live with Buckcherry opening, to September 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 21, 23 and 25, 2027, citing unforeseen circumstances. Sammy Hagar did play: "The Best of All Worlds" closed its eleven-show 2026 engagement at Dolby Live on September 26 with Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani and Kenny Aronoff behind him, and no 2027 dates are announced.

The Eagles at Sphere opened their fall with September 18 and 19; eight more dates run November 13 to December 12. Foo Fighters at Allegiant Stadium on September 26 was the month's biggest non-residency night and the band's last North American date of the year.

October 2026

Ten remaining Metallica nights, six from New Kids on the Block, nine from Earth, Wind & Fire: October is the fall's deepest month, and Halloween falls on a Saturday with four residencies playing.

Metallica at Sphere opened "Life Burns Faster" on October 1 and plays Thursdays and Saturdays: October 8, 10, 15, 17, 22, 24, 29 and 31, then November 5 and 7, all at 8:30 p.m. Each Thursday and Saturday pair shares zero songs, so the two-show weekend is the intended purchase. The residency then pauses until January 28, 2027 and runs to March 13, 24 shows in all.

The Colosseum at Caesars Palace runs two short headliner stands. Josh Groban brings "GEMS" for five nights, October 2, 3, 7, 9 and 10 at 8 p.m., to a hall built for a solo voice. Tim McGraw follows with "Live in Las Vegas" on October 23 and 24, then November 4, 6 and 7, also at 8 p.m., a listed 90-minute set with no opening act announced, in a room of roughly 4,300 seats.

Dolby Live at Park MGM turns over twice. New Kids on the Block play the final eight shows on their "Right Stuff" calendar: October 2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 14, 16 and 17 at 8 p.m. Nothing is on sale after the 17th. Mary J. Blige plays "My Life, My Story," her first Las Vegas residency, on October 23, 24, 28, 30 and 31 at 8 p.m., the catalog hits with a live band and dancers. It is no longer the closing block: the five August and September shows she moved have been rebooked for February 12, 13, 17, 19 and 20, 2027, confirmed on September 17 as the residency's final dates.

Elsewhere: Barry Manilow was booked into the Westgate's International Theater October 8, 9, 10, 15, 16 and 17 (the room where he passed Elvis's show count in 2023); bronchitis cut his October 9 show short and cancelled October 10, and the calendar resumes with weekends in November and December. Earth, Wind & Fire take the Venetian Theatre for nine nights, October 16, 17, 18, 21, 23, 24, 28, 30 and 31 at 8:30 p.m. Tom Jones plays the Encore Theater at Wynn on October 21, 23 and 24 at 8 p.m., ages 12 and up.

Also in October, now in our catalog: Lionel Richie (October 14, 16 and 17, then November 11, 13 and 14) and Bryan Adams (October 28 to November 1) at the Encore Theater; Keith Urban (October 16 and 17) and Ricky Martin (October 30 and 31) at Fontainebleau. Diana Ross's Encore stand on October 2 to 4 has played, and TLC's Fontainebleau night is October 9. Metallica, Earth, Wind & Fire, Mary J. Blige and Donny Osmond all play Halloween night, and the month's weather and crowd picture is in Las Vegas in October.

November 2026

Book November with the Grand Prix in mind. Race weekend is November 19 to 21 and it lifts room rates across the Strip; Marc Anthony's two Fontainebleau dates, November 20 and 21, land squarely on it, and the Backstreet Boys play the official F1 Afterparty at Sphere on the 21st, sold only as an add-on to a race ticket.

Metallica plays its last two 2026 nights at Sphere on November 5 and 7. Santana returns to House of Blues for the second block: November 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14 and 15. Tim McGraw finishes at the Colosseum on November 4, 6 and 7, and Barry Manilow plays November 5, 6, 7, 12, 13 and 14 at the Westgate.

The Eagles take Sphere on November 13 and 14 and again over Thanksgiving weekend, November 27 and 28. Don Henley told CBS Sunday Morning in February 2026 that this year "will probably be it" for the band; six January 2027 dates are the only ones announced beyond December. Jeezy brings "The Legend of The Snowman" back to PH Live for nine final dates, announced on stage on August 22, 2026: November 6, 7, 13 and 14, then December 18, 19, 20, 30 and 31, his catalog reworked with The Color of Noize Orchestra under Derrick Hodge.

Not in our catalog yet, but the month's biggest new name: Lisa of Blackpink makes her Colosseum debut with "Viva La Lisa" on November 12, 13, 14, 27, 28 and 29, the first K-pop residency on the Strip. Brad Paisley (November 6 and 7) and Lionel Richie (November 11, 13 and 14) also play the Encore Theater, and Babyface is back at the Palms on the 13th and 14th. Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26; the holiday weekend puts the Eagles and Lisa on stage the same two nights, and the wider calendar is in Las Vegas in November.

December 2026

Two weekends decide December. The National Finals Rodeo runs December 3 to 12, and the Eagles play Sphere on December 4, 5, 11 and 12, exactly the rodeo's two weekends, so rooms on those four nights price like a holiday. The Eagles then come back January 8, 9, 15, 16, 22 and 23, 2027; the 8th and 9th were added October 20 and go on sale October 30.

Barry Manilow turns the Westgate run into "A Very Barry Christmas" for three weekends, December 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18 and 19. The run no longer ends there: February 18 to 20 and 25 to 27, March 25 to 27 and April 1 to 3, 2027 are on sale. Thomas Rhett plays the Colosseum on Thursday, December 10 and Saturday, December 12 at 8 p.m., timed to rodeo week. The rodeo itself starts at 5:45 p.m. and runs past 8, so it's one or the other each night, and the 12th is the final round. Jeezy's December dates, the 18th to 20th and the 30th and 31st, close his residency on New Year's Eve.

The Backstreet Boys end the year at Sphere. December 26 and 27 are on sale at 8 p.m., New Year's Eve is a 10 p.m. show, and January 1 and 2 return to 8 p.m. It's the "Into the Millennium" production running there since July 2025. Rodeo-week bookings: Rascal Flatts at the Colosseum on December 5, Dierks Bentley at Fontainebleau on December 4 and 5, Luke Bryan at Allegiant Stadium on December 11 and Creed at Fontainebleau on December 11 and 12. On the arena side, Olivia Rodrigo plays T-Mobile Arena on December 19 and 20. For the rest of the holiday picture, see Christmas in Las Vegas and New Year's Eve in Las Vegas.

Running all fall

Donny Osmond is the closest thing to a nightly headliner: Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in Harrah's Showroom, in blocks running October 7 to 17, October 27 to November 14 and December 1 to 12, then back from February 23, 2027. Harrah's has extended the residency through June 2027, so there's no closing-night urgency here. Wayne Newton plays select nights at 7 p.m. in the 150-seat Bugsy's Cabaret at the Flamingo, in clusters through December 30, stories and Q&A more than a vocal concert.

The production-show tier never goes dark: The Australian Bee Gees at Excalibur and MJ Live, among others, run most weeks through December. MJ Live is the one to double-check before you buy: it left Harrah's Showroom after September 9, 2026 and reopened September 21 at the Saxe Theater in the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, 7 p.m. most nights, with a few dark dates around Grand Prix weekend. This tier is the fallback when your dates miss every headliner block above.

2027 residencies already on sale

Checked against the box office calendars on October 25, 2026, in order of first date. Most of these were announced in a six-week burst between early September and late October, and several are short stands of five to ten nights rather than season-long runs, so the block dates matter more than the month.

• Eagles, Sphere: January 8, 9, 15, 16, 22 and 23 at 8:30 p.m. The January 8 and 9 pair was added October 20 and goes on sale October 30; the run stands at 74 shows.

• Metallica, Sphere: January 28 and 30, February 4, 6, 18, 20, 25 and 27, March 4, 6, 11 and 13, Thursdays and Saturdays at 8:30 p.m.

• Mötley Crüe, the Colosseum at Caesars Palace: March 19, 20, 24, 26, 27 and 31, April 2 and 3 at 8 p.m. Eight shows billed as Carnival of Sins in Sin City, the band's fourth Las Vegas residency, on sale since October 23.
• Oprah Winfrey, Sphere: one weekend, April 2 to 4, four performances of AHA.
• John Mayer, Sphere: 21 nights at 8 p.m. from April 8 to June 12, solo, band and Trio sets each night; the last three dates, June 9, 11 and 12, were added October 13.
• Scorpions, PH Live: September 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 21, 23 and 25, the postponed 60th-anniversary run.
• Carín León, Sphere: September 16, 17 and 18.

The Colosseum has turned into the room for short rock and pop stands, five to ten nights each (Lauper and Crüe next spring, Groban and McGraw this fall), which means a given artist is in town for two or three weekends and gone. Sphere books the opposite way, in long runs: the Eagles at 74 shows, Metallica at 24, Mayer at 21. If a Sphere act is on your list, almost any spring weekend works; if it is a Colosseum act, the dates pick the trip for you.

How to buy without overpaying

Residency pricing follows the block. As a rule, midweek nights inside a run keep face-value inventory longer than the Fridays and Saturdays, and the show doesn't change with the day. Buy from the venue's primary on-sale first; resale listings for hot runs tend to sit above face even while primary seats remain. At Sphere, seats in the mid and upper bowl take in the whole dome, which is the point of the building. And separate the ticket from the room: the nights that spike are rodeo weekends, F1 weekend and New Year's, and on those the hotel rate moves far more than the seat does. More on the mechanics in our Sphere ticket guide and cheap show tickets; tour stops that aren't residencies are on our concerts listing.
