Las Vegas is stacking its 2026-2027 calendar with some of the biggest names in music, from Metallica and the Eagles to BLACKPINK’s Lisa and the Backstreet Boys. Billboard has published an updating list of current residencies, and tickets are already moving fast.
The list covers September 2026 through January 2027, with shows spread across the Sphere, Caesars Palace, Planet Hollywood, Fontainebleau and several other venues. Some residencies run for a full month, while others are short weekend runs.
The Sphere Leads the Pack
The Sphere remains the marquee destination. Metallica plays there across October and November 2026, with additional dates in January 2027. The Eagles are back for “one last run again,” with shows in September, November and December 2026, plus January 2027.
The Backstreet Boys bring “Into the Millennium” to the Sphere on Dec. 31, 2026, and again on Jan. 1-2, 2027. BLACKPINK’s Lisa headlines “Viva La Lisa” at Caesars Palace on Nov. 13-14 and Nov. 27-28, 2026.
Carín León opens the September slate at the Sphere from Sept. 4-13.
Month-Long Stays and Newcomers
Several artists are settling in for extended runs. Barry Manilow holds down the Westgate for the entire stretch from September through January. Carlos Santana does the same at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay, and Donny Osmond plays Harrah’s through December, with a final run from Dec. 1-12.
MJ Live, a tribute show, runs at Planet Hollywood from September through December.
Marc Anthony brings “Vegas… My Way” to Fontainebleau on Sept. 11-19 and again on Nov. 20-21. Scorpions play Planet Hollywood from Sept. 17-29 and return Oct. 1-3. Sammy Hagar is at Dolby Live at Park MGM from Sept. 18-26.
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis play The Venetian Resort Las Vegas from Sept. 23-26 and Oct. 1-3. Josh Groban takes Caesars Palace from Oct. 2-10. New Kids on the Block bring “The Right Stuff” to Dolby Live from Oct. 2-17. Mary J. Blige plays Dolby Live from Oct. 23-31. Taylor Dayne appears at Harrah’s on Nov. 24-25 and 27-28, plus Dec. 29-31 and Jan. 2.
Where to Buy Tickets
Tickets first went on sale through Ticketmaster, and the retailer’s Face Value Exchange program lets fans resell tickets if they cannot attend. But Billboard reports that many residency dates have either sold out or are very close to selling out.
That pushes buyers toward third-party retailers. StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, TicketNetwork, Gametime and Event Tickets Center all carry Las Vegas residency tickets. All of them guarantee authentic tickets delivered before showtime, though prices may sit above or below face value.
StubHub promises that all tickets are valid and authentic, and if a concert is canceled and not rescheduled, buyers get 120% in StubHub credit or a full refund without the extra credit. SeatGeek tends to offer some of the lowest prices, with tickets delivered digitally to your phone before you reach security.
Vivid Seats lets you search by price, location and “Super Sellers,” which flags reputable sellers with the best deals. Signing up for the company’s newsletter gets you 10% off your first purchase. TicketNetwork uses all-in pricing, so you see exactly what you will pay up front, fees included.
