Blake Shelton is taking his show to Las Vegas! On Thursday, LiveNation announced that the country music star is launching a mini-residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace next year, with six performances scheduled from Feb. 5 to Feb. 15, 2025.
"We've been talking about a Vegas residency for a few years, and all the pieces just came together for a run next year," Shelton, 47, said in a statement. "The Colosseum is such an iconic venue, and I'm excited to bring some honky-tonk neon to the Palace."
Shelton announced the news on his Instagram by sharing the residency poster. "I've been so excited to share this news with y'all.. VEGAS!!!!!" he captioned the post.
Shelton is a familiar sight in Las Vegas thanks to having opened hissixth and largest Ole Red location there in April.
The singerkicked off a week of grand opening celebrations with a private concert, where he was joined by his wife Gwen Stefani .
"I know Las Vegas has been a big destination for cowboys, but not until tonight has there been a destination for absolute hillbillies," Shelton told the crowd while onstage at the restaurant and music venue, "and now we got it!"
Shelton performed several of his biggest hits, and was joined onstage by Stefani to sing their hit duet, "Nobody But You."
The singer previously told ET thatthe idea ofkicking off a Las Vegas residency "comes up a lot in every conversation."
"It's definitely in the cards for me," he added. "We've been in talks a couple of years ago then it went away and it comes back and it goes away. But I'm learning enough about the industry that, if that starts, it's gonna happen sooner or later, so I would say, yeah I'm gonna do something like that."
Shelton quipped that he didn't know "when or where" but was content with handling Ole Red on the strip for now. "I feel like it's important for me to branch out and not just have it be about this location... it doesn't have to be a long term thing."
Now that it's finally happening, Shelton tells People :"I've just been kicking the can down the road because I wanted the Ole Red to be open before I did it. While I'm there doing the residency, I may end up over at Ole Red jumping on that stage one night!"
While Shelton hasn't shared any details on what fans can expect during the shows, there's a lot to anticipate considering the singer's extensive discography.
Earlier this summer, Shelton released a new single with Post Malone , "Somebody Pour Me A Drink,"which they began teasing at the end of May .
At the time, Post Malone shared a snippet of the song and a video on Instagram, in which he jams out while listening to it. "Somebody pour me a drink, somebody bum me a smoke," Malone and Shelton could be heard singing together.
In June, the pair took the stage at Nissan Stadium for a surprise CMA Fest appearance while Stefani cheered them on in the audience.
Shelton and Malone then delivered their single together at Spotify House -- which is located at Shelton's bar,Ole Red -- as Stefani watched on from the wings.
