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.

Sick New World Fest Reborn In Vegas, Fort Worth

by jummy84 October 22, 2025

written by jummy84

After taking 2025 off due to issues related to its lineup, the hard rock festival extravaganza Sick New World will be back with two editions next year. The first will be held at the event’s customary home of Las Vegas Festival Grounds on April 25, while an inaugural Texas version is set for Oct. 24 at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth.

System of a Down will top the bill in both cities. Other acts appearing at one or both stops are Deftones, Korn, Slayer (performing Reign in Blood), Bring Me the Horizon, Evanescence, the Prodigy, Knocked Loose, AFI, Mastodon, Ministry, Power Trip, Failure, Filter, Melvins, Acid Bath, Danny Elfman, KMFDM, Coal Chamber and Clutch.

Since launching in 2023, Sick New World has hosted some of the only System of a Down performances in the past five years and has elevated both new and cult classic acts in the hard rock genre. “I had more fun there than I had on many, many other tours, and that’s why we’re doing it again,” frontman Serj Tankian told SPIN after the inaugural edition. “It was a blast. We rehearsed just enough to know our chops and then the rest, who the fuck knows? Let’s see what happens on stage.”

Click here for full lineups and ticket on-sale details.

Sick New World was set to return to Las Vegas this April with Metallica and Linkin Park, but the event was scrapped in December 2024 due to “unforeseen circumstances” that promoter Live Nation was “unable to overcome.” According to HITS Daily Double, the event ran into trouble in part due to its former booker, Jeffrey Shuman, overpaying for talent, with the two headliners allegedly pocketing $5 million each.

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.

No Doubt to Headline Las Vegas Sphere

by jummy84 October 10, 2025

written by jummy84

The Gwen Stefani-led band will play a run of six shows in 2026 at the iconic venue

No Doubt is Vegas bound. Gwen Stefani will reunite with her band for six shows at the Sphere in Las Vegas, according to multiple reports.

The group’s residency is slated for May to June 2026, according to TMZ, which first reported the news. Since opening in 2023, the 17,600-seat arena has featured performances from U2, Dead & Company, the Eagles, the Backstreet Boys, and more. Stefani will be the first woman to headline the iconic venue.

Since No Doubt’s split in 2015, the band has only reunited twice since then. In January, the Orange County natives performed at FireAid in Los Angeles, opening with their massive 1995 hit “Just a Girl,” and following it with a performance of “Don’t Speak” and their traditional set closer “Spiderwebs.” The benefit raised funds for victims of the devastating Pacific Palisades fire.

Last year, No Doubt took the stage for the first time in over a decade to perform a special set at Coachella and were joined by Olivia Rodrigo. They haven’t released an album of new material since 2012’s Push and Shove, which Stefani previously discussed during an interview with Fault magazine in 2023.

“I feel that record was where No Doubt was most confused,” the frontwoman said at the time. “We just had come back together, and we wanted to do it so badly, but for me, I was completely depleted from my world tour and giving birth. So many things had happened and then we tried to write that record…When you work with No Doubt, it’s almost like you have to have somebody that’s just there to make everybody happy so that everybody can have their little piece. It was a lot. That was a struggle, that record. But I’m happy that someone listened to it.”

Stefani recently surprised fans during Dua Lipa’s fourth sold-out Radical Optimism tour stop in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, and joined the “Houdini” singer for a performance of No Doubt‘s “Don’t Speak.”

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.”

No Doubt to Headline Las Vegas’ Sphere in 2026: Report

by jummy84 October 9, 2025

written by jummy84

No Doubt are heading to the Sphere. The Gwen Stefani-led band will headline the futuristic Las Vegas venue in 2026, according to a report from TMZ.

While no exact dates have been revealed, TMZ has learned that the six-show residency will take place in May and June. No Doubt have not made any official announcements, but the band did post a career-retrospective video teaser on its social media pages on Thursday. An accompanying message urges fans to sign up for news by leaving their email at the band’s website.

If confirmed, No Doubt would be the first female-led rock band to play the Sphere, which has hosted concerts by the likes of U2, the Eagles, the Backstreet Boys, Dead & Company, and Phish, among others.

Paul McCartney “Got Back” Tour in Las Vegas: Review

by jummy84 October 6, 2025

written by jummy84

The past feels very present for Paul McCartney — at least in the way he talked on stage about those he’s lost during the Las Vegas stop on his “Got Back” tour. “Let’s hear it for John,” he said the first time he mentioned the late John Lennon, like Lennon was waiting in the wings, about to come out and duet with him. “Let’s hear it for George” came as he swapped a guitar for the ukulele George Harrison once gave him, which he then used to plink out a stripped-down version of “Something.”

That ukulele performance of “Something” represented one of the few quiet moments of the show, as McCartney’s goal was to keep the crowd on its feet for, as he proclaimed early on, “the biggest party in Vegas.” It perhaps wasn’t quite as raucous as that (perhaps because the crowd demographic leaned heavily towards people who were calling my 40-something ass “young lady”), but McCartney without question delivered a great two-and-a-half-hour hang without a single break in the music.

The October 4th, 2025 show at Allegiant Stadium blasted open with the nuclear-powered energy of “Help!” — notable given that the “Got Back” tour is the first time McCartney’s performed the song live in 35 years — and it’s hard to imagine a better way to get a crowd on its feat and ready to dance. From there, McCartney promised that the setlist for the evening would include “some old ones, some new ones, and some in between.” That said, his definition of “new” proved a bit loose just a few minutes later, when he launched into “Come On to Me,” released in 2018. “Relatively new,” he said wryly. “It’s new enough.”

However, considering the full scope of the 83-year-old’s career, 2018 is new enough. And lest one forget just how long McCartney’s been rocking, he leaned hard into the early days by going even further back than his time with The Beatles for The Quarrymen’s “In Spite of All the Danger.” Before it began, he took a moment to remember those early days in Liverpool, being a young man with his mates recording their very first song. “They did quite well for themselves,” he said with all the earned smugness in the world.

After “All the Danger” came The Beatles’ first track for EMI (that’s the way McCartney introduced it), “Love Me Do,” which remains the same burst of pop sunshine it’s been since 1962. Otherwise, vibe rather than chronology really drove the song order, with the show hitting its most melancholy moments with an elegant rendition of “Blackbird.” For that track, McCartney rose up on an elevated platform that put the full focus on him and his guitar (the band largely taking a break otherwise). It was one of several subtle choices in the stage design that kept the action dynamic without distracting from the music.

Then, McCartney shifted to “Here Today,” the song he wrote for Lennon after Lennon’s death, musing about how hard it is to say “I love you” to your friends. At which point, acknowledging that “now that we’ve plunged the mood to zero,” he performed the “newest” song of the night, “Now and Then.” He concluded with a note of gratitude: “Thank you, John, for writing that beautiful song.”

After that, though, the vibe shifted as McCartney banged out “Lady Madonna” at a technicolor upright piano, followed by a switch to guitar and the exuberant Wings song “Jet.” Other Wings songs featured during the night included “Let ‘Em In,” “Band on the Run,” and of course “Live and Let Die,” which was accompanied by enough pyro effects to put a WWE main event to shame. The literal fireworks being set off on the stadium stage were so loud, in fact, that McCartney literally crouched down and covered his ears for the final blast.

Following “Live and Let Die,” with the smell of gunpowder still in the air, McCartney launched into “Hey Jude” as the pre-encore closer. One really can’t prepare oneself for the experience of hearing an entire damn stadium sing “na-na-na-na” in unison, led by the man who gave us that gift of a song.

McCartney kept engaged with the audience throughout, with the occasional pause to check in with the crowd: At one point, he took a beat to read out some of the signs being held up, people cheering for someone attending their 122nd show. To the person whose sign asked him to autograph “my butt,” he quite fairly said, “No… that’s pushing it.” And he shared a smile of delight with the fan whose sign said I Was at Shea Stadium. His cheery reply: “So was I!”

The backing band knew the assignment and played with world-class skill without drawing focus: Guitarist Brian Ray had some quality solos, and you could tell that drummer Abe Laboriel Jr. was having a fantastic time, a huge grin on his face as he used his drumstick to conduct the audience sing-along on “Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five.”

They helped ensure that there was a real sense of play throughout the night, such as the way McCartney ended “Let Me Roll It” with an impromptu cover of “Foxy Lady,” a tribute to “the late, great Jimi Hendrix,” who McCartney recalled seeing perform live in London very early in his career, in a small club. There were only a few people at that early Hendrix show, McCartney said, but a few nights later, when Hendrix played again, word had spread and the place was packed. As for McCartney himself, it’s a bit sad to note that his vocal abilities have not aged as well as one might have hoped. Yet that becomes a secondary concern after watching him bring the enthusiasm of a 20-year-old country star to a twangy rendition of “I’ve Just Seen a Face.”

McCartney kicked off the encore with “I’ve Got a Feeling,” which he performed as a duet using the recently remastered footage of Lennon from Peter Jackson’s Get Back. “I like that song,” he said simply when it was over, “because I get to sing with John again.”

Lennon and Harrison may be gone. But perhaps the reason McCartney speaks about them like they’re still here is simple: For him they’re still alive, through the music they once made together. The music that will outlive us all.

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.”
