Blake Shelton is officially trading his boots for glittery showbiz shoes! That’s right, the 48-year-old country crooner and TV’s favorite chair-spinning guru just dropped the news that he’s going all-in on a Las Vegas residency. The announcement came through on Thursday (August 8)—a day that will now be remembered for more than just it being the eighth day of August!
Blake’s big debut is set for February 5, 2025, at the ever-so-glamorous Colosseum Theater in Caesars Palace. He’ll be belting out tunes until February 15, and trust us, you don’t want to miss it. Tickets will be available for preorder starting August 16, so mark your calendars, set your alarms, and maybe even get a tattoo of that date if you’re feeling extra committed.
Blake couldn’t keep his excitement under wraps, revealing his Vegas plans with all the subtlety of a rhinestone-studded cowboy hat. “It’s been swirling for years now,” he said, probably while twirling a lasso, “and ever since the idea of opening an Ole Red in Las Vegas came up, this Vegas talk has been in the air too.”
He continued, “If you’re gonna have a stake in Vegas, you gotta do a residency. It’s like a rite of passage. I just wanted to get the Ole Red up and running first. You know, priorities and all that.”
In an intriguing twist, Blake hinted that he might just sneak in some surprise performances at his Ole Red bar between his residency gigs. Imagine that—seeing Blake Shelton pop up at his own bar like a country music ninja!
Blake’s not exactly new to the Vegas residency scene. His wife, Gwen Stefani, rocked the residency world, and his buddy Garth Brooks has done the same. So, when it comes to belting out tunes in Sin City, Blake’s just following the glittery, sequined footsteps of his famous friends.
