Kelly Clarkson Adds More 2026 Dates to Las Vegas Residency

by jummy84 November 3, 2025

written by jummy84

Ahead of her return to Las Vegas this week, Kelly Clarkson has announced a new set of summer 2026 dates for her “Studio Sessions” residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Clarkson has added four new dates for next August to her calendar, to go along with the six 2026 shows she’d already announced. The run will start July 17 and end Aug. 15. Tickets for the newly added dates will go on sale Nov. 7 at 10 a.m. PT, with a presale scheduled to start Nov. 5 at 10 a.m. PT. A limited number of tickets for Clarkson’s previously announced concerts are on sale now.

Clarkson announced her Studio Sessions residency earlier this year but abruptly postponed the run’s first few shows hours before opening night, July 4. In an Instagram post, Clarkson said preparing for the shows had “taken a toll” on her voice, and that she needed to rest to prevent “doing serious damage.”

Clarkson did return the following weekend as planned and performed eight gigs at the Colosseum, but then had to step away again in early August after revealing that her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, was ill. Blackstock died on Aug. 7, with the cause later revealed to be melanoma, a type of skin cancer.

In the months after Blackstock’s death, Clarkson kept a low profile but has steadily returned to the public eye. In late September, she returned to her daytime talk show, opening the episode with a cover of the Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights.” She’s set to return to the stage later this week, Nov. 7, for the first of four previously scheduled Studio Sessions shows. The other gigs will take place Nov. 8, 14, and 15.

No Doubt Announce 2026 Las Vegas Sphere Residency

by jummy84 October 12, 2025

written by jummy84

No Doubt have announced a 2026 residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada, complete with throwback photos splashed across the building’s outer dome. The ska-pop band will headline six nights at the venue in May, marking their first extended run of shows in nearly 14 years. Check out their full list of upcoming tour dates below.

“The opportunity to create a show at Sphere excites me in a new way,” Gwen Stefani said in a press release. “The venue is unique and modern and it opens up a whole new visual palette for us to be creative. Doing it with No Doubt feels like going back in time to relive our history, while also creating something new in a way we never could have imagined.”

“I can’t wait to get on stage again with my bandmates,” added bassist Tony Kanal. “There is a beautiful energy that happens when we play together, an electricity I have felt through all of our years. To be able to leave it all on the table each night and take our fans on the insane journey that is Sphere is beyond our wildest dreams.”

Apart from their 2024 Coachella reunion, the last time No Doubt performed a string of shows was at their Seven Night Stand run in Los Angeles in 2012. They followed that with sporadic reunion gigs in 2014 and 2015.

Today’s announcement falls on the 30th anniversary of Tragic Kingdom, the band’s seminal album from 1995 featuring “Just a Girl,” “Don’t Speak,” and many more hits. Revisit Jill Mapes’ Sunday Review of the LP.

Trilith Institute Opens Residency Applications for Georgia Filmmakers

by jummy84 October 10, 2025

written by jummy84

As today’s filmmaking production struggles to find a place to land anywhere in the United States, the Trilith Institute is encouraging emerging filmmakers already based in Georgia to make their movies and TV stories there. And with funding, a stipend, and mentorship to boot.

The nonprofit Trilith Institute announced today that applications for its 2026 Emerging Creative Residency (ECR) will open October 10. (Applications on its website are now live here.) Now entering its third year, the flagship program provides filmmakers who live in Georgia with housing in the Town at Trilith, plus $100,000 in production funding, a living stipend, focused mentorship, and access to industry resources. Selected writers and directors working in independent film will be supervised and mentored from development through production and distribution.

The Institute’s first two residents have already found success. The 2024 ECR grantee, Ebony Blanding premiered the feature film “A Mess of Memories” at the BronzeLens Film Festival in Georgia, where it won multiple awards. The 2025 recipient, Christian Noél, is currently in production on an original half-hour comedy pilot developed through the program. The series, billed as “Caddyshack” meets “Parks and Recreation,” is Trilith Institute’s first TV project.

“With our first feature film and now a television pilot, we are truly realizing the mission of Trilith Institute: to foster and retain the next generation of storytellers here in Georgia,” said Jeffrey Stepakoff, president and CEO of Trilith Institute, in a press statement shared with IndieWire. “By empowering emerging writers and directors like Ebony and Christian with meaningful resources, mentorship, and industry access, we are building a sustainable creative pipeline that keeps talent rooted in our state while contributing fresh voices to the global storytelling landscape.”

Applications for the 2026 ECR are open now through November 7, 2025, at trilithinstitute.org. The selected resident will receive a year-long immersive experience, both living and working at Trilith while developing their original project with the guidance of industry professionals.

The nonprofit Trilith Institute is focused on building up a robust entertainment landscape in Georgia, through education and workforce development. The brand also includes Trilith Studios, located in Fayette County, which has hosted Marvel productions from “Loki” on TV to multiple “Avengers” films. Most recently, out of the DCU, James Gunn’s “Superman” shot at Trilith as well, plus “Agatha All Along” and “Thunderbolts.”

No Doubt Reuniting For Sphere Residency

by jummy84 October 10, 2025

written by jummy84

No Doubt will reassemble for their first proper run of shows since 2015 with a six-date residency next May at Sphere in Las Vegas. The extravaganza is set for May 6, 8-9, 13, 15-16, with tickets going on sale Oct. 17 to the general public.

The Gwen Stefani-led group reunited for two Coachella sets in 2024 and again earlier this year for the FireAid benefit in Los Angeles. They will become the first female-fronted act at Sphere, which opened last year and has since hosted U2, Dead & Company, Phish, Kenny Chesney and Anyma, among others.

“The opportunity to create a show at Sphere excites me in a new way,” says Stefani, who earlier this week joined Olivia Rodrigo to perform No Doubt’s “Don’t Speak” at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum. “The venue is unique and modern and it opens up a whole new visual palette for us to be creative. Doing it with No Doubt feels like going back in time to relive our history, while also creating something new in a way we never could have imagined.”

Adds bassist Tony Kanal, “I can’t wait to get on stage again with my bandmates. There is a beautiful energy that happens when we play together, an electricity I have felt through all of our years. To be able to leave it all on the table each night and take our fans on the insane journey that is Sphere is beyond our wildest dreams.”

“Through all the ups and downs, the four of us have always been connected by our music, our shared experiences and lifelong friendship,” opines guitarist Tom Dumont. “When we are on stage together playing these songs, we feel the magic.”

No Doubt Sets Las Vegas Sphere Residency

by jummy84 October 10, 2025

written by jummy84

Gwen Stefani might dream of a “Simple Kind of Life,” but she recently agreed to a monumentally huge opportunity, which will make her the first woman to headline the MSG-owned Sphere in Las Vegas.

Billboard can confirm that Stefani will reunite with her band No Doubt to play a run of six shows at the iconic arena visible from the famed Las Vegas Strip. First reported by TMZ, the booking will make Stefani the first woman to headline the 17,600-seat arena, which has hosted concerts from U2, Dead & Company, Eagles, Backstreet Boys and more since opening in late 2023.

The concerts are scheduled to take place some time in 2026; the building’s event calendar is booked up mostly through mid-April with concerts by Zac Brown Band, Eagles, Backstreet Boys and Illenium.

No Doubt has only performed twice since breaking up in 2015, most recently at the 2025 FireAid benefit concert in January, when they played a medley of hits from the band’s Tragic Kingdom album to help raise funds for victims of the deadly Pacific Palisades fire. Prior to that, the band reunited for two performances at Coachella in 2024, where they delivered an energetic 80-minute set spanning fan favorites like “Just a Girl,” “Don’t Speak” and “Hella Good” and including a guest appearance by Olivia Rodrigo on “Bathwater.”

No Doubt emerged from Anaheim, California’s ska and punk scene in 1986, eventually becoming one of the defining pop-rock bands of the 1990s. Their breakthrough album, Tragic Kingdom, topped the Billboard 200 for nine consecutive weeks, catapulting the group to global fame. Over the course of six studio albums, No Doubt earned two Grammy Awards and nine nominations, including recognition for Tragic Kingdom in the best rock album category and “Don’t Speak” as best pop performance by a duo or group with vocals. After nearly three decades together, the band went on hiatus in the mid-2010s as Stefani pursued a successful solo career, beginning with her 2004 debut album Love. Angel. Music. Baby and the four-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Hollaback Girl.”

Sam Smith to Reopen San Francisco’s Castro Theatre With 2025 Residency

by jummy84 September 30, 2025

written by jummy84

The historic Castro Theatre in San Francisco is reopening next year — and they got a queer music icon to do the honors of inaugurating it. On Tuesday, Sam Smith announced that they will bring their To Be Free concert residency to San Francisco for a run of eight shows next February.

“I love San Francisco, and The Castro, especially, has been so central to the Queer community here over the years,” Smith said in a press release. “These shows will also celebrate the official reopening, so it’s truly an honor to become part of this iconic venue’s history.”

Smith is scheduled to perform at the Castro Theatre on Feb. 10, 11, 13, 14, 17, 18, 20, and 21.

The Castro, which first opened in 1922 as a movie palace, temporarily closed its doors in early 2024 to undergo extensive renovations. These renovations included restorations to its iconic neon sign, the installation of new chandeliers, a new cooling and heating system, additional restrooms, and improvements to ADA accessibility for patrons.

To celebrate the announcement of the new shows — with tickets on sale Oct. 7 at 10 a.m. PT — Smith also released a cover of Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine.”

The video features Smith walking through the Castro Theatre mid-renovation, strolling the streets of San Francisco’s historic queer district, and finally standing among queer fans outside the lit-up theatre, where Smith collects tickets at the entrance.

Smith is currently hosting their New York City residency for “To Be Free” at the Warsaw. They have shows scheduled for 12 dates in October, six in November, and six more in December. The residency runs — now set for NY and SF — celebrate Smith’s single of the same name, “To Be Free.”

“I’ve never had a recording experience like I did making this song. It’s one vocal-and-guitar take from start to finish — one live performance of me and my friend Simon [Aldred] in a pure state of music and expression,” they said of the song. “I wrote it five years ago while writing my last album, Gloria, and then parked it because I knew it was not a song for that album. It was created during a time in my life where I became free within myself.”

Dolly Parton postpones Vegas residency for 1 year due to ‘health challenges’ – National

by jummy84 September 29, 2025

written by jummy84

Dolly Parton has postponed her first Las Vegas residency in 32 years due to “health challenges.”

The country music icon, 79, announced the news in a post on Instagram on Sept. 28, telling fans that she wanted them “to hear directly from me that, unfortunately, I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concerts.”

“As many of you know, I’ve been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures. As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!” she wrote.

“In all seriousness, given this, I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see, and the show that you deserve to see. You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you,” the 9 to 5 singer explained.

Parton said that she will still be able to work on all of her projects from Nashville but she needs “a little time to get show ready, as they say.”

She assured fans to not “worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet.”

“But, I believe He is telling me to slow down right now so I can be ready for more big adventures with all of you,” she added. “I love you and thank you for understanding.”

Parton was scheduled to perform six shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for “Dolly: Live in Las Vegas” between Dec. 4 and Dec. 13, overlapping with the National Finals Rodeo. Her dates have been moved to late next year — September 2026.

Tickets are valid for the new dates and refunds will be available, Parton’s statement added.

Earlier this month, Parton was unable to attend the announcement of a new ride at her Tennessee theme park Dollywood due to health issues.

“I had a kidney stone that was causing me a lot of problems, turned out it’d given me an infection and the doctor said, ‘You don’t need to be travelling right this minute, so you need a few days to get better,’” Parton said in a video announcement at the time.

“So, he suggested I not go to Dollywood today, but I’m there with you in spirit. I was looking so forward to it,” she added.

In March, Parton announced that Carl Thomas Dean, her husband of nearly 60 years, had died.

“Carl Dean, husband of Dolly Parton, passed away March 3rd in Nashville at the age of 82. He will be laid to rest in a private ceremony with immediate family attending. He was survived by his siblings Sandra and Donnie,” a statement on her Instagram page read.

A quote from Parton was also included. It read, “Carl and I spent many wonderful years together. Words can’t do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy.”

“The family has asked for privacy during this difficult time,” the post added.

Parton also released her new single If You Hadn’t Been There the same month, in honour of her longtime husband.

“I fell in love with Carl Dean when I was 18 years old. We have spent 60 precious and meaningful years together,” Parton wrote.

“Like all great love stories, they never end. They live on in memory and song. He will always be the star of my life story, and I dedicate this song to him.”

Dolly Parton has postponed her upcoming Las Vegas residency due to ongoing health issues.

In a statement posted to social media on Sunday night, the 79-year-old country music legend shared that she’s “been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures.

Guitarist Brian May says the current incarnation of Queen is “having conversations” about playing a residency at Las Vegas’ futuristic venue Sphere.

Over the past 15 years, the legendary act has been performing as Queen + Adam Lambert, with classic members May and drummer Roger Taylor joined by the onetime American Idol contestant on vocals.

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, May said he was very impressed by The Eagles’ residency at Sphere, which was just extended into January 2026.

Bad Bunny’s Historic Residency Stream Breaks Amazon Music Record

by jummy84 September 22, 2025

written by jummy84

Bad Bunny closed out his historic 31-night residency at San Juan’s El Choli on Sunday with a massive finale show that the whole world could watch online. The Puerto Rican superstar brought out Marc Anthony for an emotional duet, partied with Jowell & Randy, and paid tribute to the island’s rich history during a nearly four-hour show.

On Monday, Amazon Music revealed that the livestream for the concert — titled “Una Más,” which aired on the music streaming service, Prime Video, and Twitch — shattered viewership records for a single-artist performance.

While exact numbers have not yet been released, the show was the most-watched single-artist performance on Amazon Music to date, according to the platform.

“I have always had the same passion, love for what I’m doing. I promise I will never change. I love you, Puerto Rico. I love you, mom and dad,” Bad Bunny said onstage during an emotional speech at the end of the show. “It doesn’t matter what your issue or problem is, love will always be the solution.”

The livestream was just the start of Bad Bunny’s multi-year partnership with Amazon, which will work with his Good Bunny Foundation to help the island develop in several sectors, including education, technology, agricultural support, and economic development.

“By combining music, Amazon technologies, commerce, and community programs at scale, we’re engaging global audiences to this historic moment while strengthening Puerto Rican communities,” Rocío Guerrero, an Amazon Music executive, said. Fans can continue watching for 24 hours following the show’s conclusion as well.

Like most of the shows during the residency run, Bad Bunny packed the show with guests: He brought out Ñengo Flow and Jowell y Randy for “Safaera,” and both Dei V and RaiNao for a pair of duets. Arcángel and De La Ghetto jumped in at the end of the set to exchange rap verses for “Acho PR” from Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana.

To conclude the performance, Bad Bunny played a song that serves as a sort of national anthem for La Isla del Encanto: He brought out icon Marc Anthony for a heartfelt duet of “Preciosa” as the Puerto Rican flag displayed on the ceiling of El Choli. The song, originally written by composer Rafael Hernández Marín in 1937, is a love letter to Puerto Rico.
