Usher to headline at Colosseum at Caesars Palace next year
Usher, Live Nation and Caesars Entertainment have set a target for his new Strip residency: July 16.
Usher is setting a 12-show residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on that date. Additional shows are July 17, 21, 23, 24, 28, 30 and 31. The hit-maker’s residency continues through Dec. 28, 29 and 31, 2021, and Jan. 1, 2022. His is the first new resident show announced by Live Nation since the COVID shutdown in March.
“I have missed performing for my fans live and I am so excited to see them in Las Vegas,” Usher said in a news release. “My residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace will be full of surprises and an Usher experience like they’ve never seen or heard before!”
The residency is exclusive to Las Vegas, with hits covering Usher’s two-decade career. The announcement arrives just as Keith Urban on Thursday canceled the remaining shows set for November at The Colosseum.
Tickets will go on sale to the public starting at 10 a.m. Las Vegas time on Thursday. Fan presale tickets will be available beginning at 10 a.m. Monday through 10 p.m. Wednesday. For presale details, go to citientertainment.com.
The Colosseum is selling tickets 4,300-seat capacity. Usher joins Reba and Brooks & Dunn in December, and Sting beginning in January, as headliners booked at the venue next year.
