Country music star Blake Shelton is gearing up for his first-ever Las Vegas residency, Blake Shelton: Live in Las Vegas, set to debut in 2025. In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Shelton shared his excitement and the journey leading up to this major milestone in his career.
“This idea has been swirling for years now,” Shelton said. “Ever since the idea was first floated about opening an Ole Red in Las Vegas, this conversation has been happening too.” He added, “If you’re going to have a stake in Las Vegas, you got to do a residency also if you’re an artist.”
Shelton explained that he had been postponing the residency until his Las Vegas Ole Red venue was fully operational. “I’ve just been kicking the can down the road because I wanted the Ole Red to be open before I did it,” he said.
The residency is scheduled to run from February 5 to February 15, 2025, with tickets going on sale starting August 16 on Shelton’s official website.
Shelton also drew inspiration from his friend and fellow country star Garth Brooks, who recently completed a successful residency in Las Vegas. “He played songs that he grew up loving and made him fall in love with music. I don’t want to just rip somebody off, but I do love the idea of doing something that you wouldn’t normally get to see out on tour,” Shelton explained.
As he prepares for his residency, Shelton is focusing on how to make the shows unique. “So I got to figure out what that is, and now I’m going to start thinking about how it would be different than something I would do on tour,” he said.
Earlier this year, Shelton and his wife, Gwen Stefani, released their latest love song, “Purple Irises,” which Shelton admitted is his favorite of their collaborations. “I’d always thought it was just something different. It sounded like it came from another time,” he added.
With his Las Vegas residency on the horizon, fans can expect an exciting and memorable experience as Shelton takes the stage for this highly anticipated event.
