Mary J. Blige has announced she will end her Las Vegas residency after 20 shows, with the final stretch running through Halloween, Valentine’s Day and President’s Day. The singer told fans the run felt like “divine timing,” and she wants everyone to plan their trips around those dates.
The remaining shows take place at Dolby Live at Park MGM. Blige still has 10 dates left, spanning October 2026 through February 2027. The residency began on May 1, making this her first-ever Vegas run.
Blige’s Own Words
Blige addressed fans directly in her announcement. She wrote: “This residency felt like divine timing. I’ve seen so many of you in Vegas and we still have 10 dates left. I feel even more grateful and deeply inspired after every show. Grab your girlfriends, your boots, and I’ll see you in Vegas in October and February.”
She also encouraged fans to bring friends and suggested the shows would be a reason to visit the city. The remaining dates include Halloween, Valentine’s Day weekend and President’s Day weekend.

What Led to the Residency
The residency follows Blige’s For My Fans Tour, which ran in 2025. That tour included a stop at Madison Square Garden on April 10, where Blige performed her first sold-out headlining show there.
The concert was livestreamed globally and later became the basis for the theatrical film Mary J. Blige: For My Fans, Live From Madison Square Garden. That film was released globally in November 2025.
Her Place in Music
Blige is a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and a nine-time Grammy winner. She has spent decades building a reputation as the “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul.”
Her most recent album, Gratitude, came out in November 2024. She also continues her longtime partnership with Lifetime, the cable and satellite television network.
The latest project under that partnership is the film Mary J. Blige’s Be Happy, which aired in February.
Why the Dates Matter
The timing of the remaining shows gives fans three distinct reasons to plan a trip. Here’s how they break down:
- Halloween falls on Oct. 31.
- Valentine’s Day weekend lands in February.
- President’s Day weekend is also on the schedule.
Blige’s statement speaks to the connection she has built with audiences in Las Vegas, describing herself as “deeply inspired after every show.”
The Run’s Final Stretch
With 10 dates left, the residency is more than halfway through. Blige has seen “so many” of her fans during the run, according to her statement, and she remains committed to seeing them through the end.
The remaining dates cover a wide range of holidays and weekends, which means fans can pick the occasion that fits their schedule. Whether it’s a Halloween weekend trip or a Valentine’s Day getaway, there is a show for every reason to visit.
