For lovers of drama, theatrics, and Anthony Hopkins.

A Las Vegas residency is a badge of honour reserved for only the most colossal pop superstars. Free from the cost of touring and the limitations of hitting a different venue each night, they can go to town and put on the most spectacular shows of their careers!

Here are some of the heavy hitters limbering up for residencies in the City of Sin this year.

Katy Perry:

For 14 camp and colourful nights, Katy will bring her unique style and energy to Resorts World Las Vegas. The show has reportedly been in the works for some time, and amongst smash hits including ‘Firework’, ‘Roar’, and ‘California Gurls’, we’re expecting plenty of outfit changes!

New dates for ‘Play’ were recently announced at www.katyperry.com/tour/

Usher:

Delighting fans with his signature, smooth brand of R&B since 1994, Usher has been going longer than you might think! Today, the Grammy Award winner’s Las Vegas residency is all about having fun and doing things his way. Expect sizzling dance moves, snappy suits, and seriously impressive rollerskate choreography!

Adele:

After a slew of sell-out shows, Adele surprised fans by announcing the extension of her Las Vegas residency. It seems 34 nights in front of 4,000 fans wasn’t enough, and we’re here for it! Her upcoming performances at the Colosseum Theatre at Caesars Palace will be recorded and released on film, but obviously, nothing can top being there.
