The stint will begin December 30 and include a show on New Year\u2019s Eve, with eight additional 2025 performances — at least for now — that will include Valentine\u2019s Day weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cJanet Jackson is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in pop music,\u201d said Bobby Reynolds, senior vice president of AEG Presents Las Vegas.<\/strong> \u201cWe could not be more thrilled to close out 2024 with her return to the Las Vegas Strip and her venue debut at our award-winning Resorts World Theatre, and to kick off 2025 with a run of sure-to-be-unforgettable shows. This is a residency fans won\u2019t want to miss.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Resorts World <\/strong>residency is expected to include a duet between the 58-year-old singer and her late brother, Michael Jackson,<\/strong>\u00a0on their 1995 single, \u201cScream.\u201d The duet already features on Jackson\u2019s current \u201cTogether Again\u201d tour, which wraps in October in Europe.<\/p>\n

Miss Jackson\u2019s dates are December 30 and 31; January 3 and 4; and February 5, 7, 8, 12, 14, and 15. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. PT Wednesday, August 28 via AXS.com.<\/p>\n

U2 Film Coming to Sphere<\/h2>\n

“V-U2 An Immersive Concert Film at Sphere Las Vegas,”<\/strong> directed by U2<\/strong> guitarist The Edge <\/strong>with his wife, Morleigh Steinberg, will debut for a single screening at the Sphere<\/strong> on Thursday, Sept. 5.<\/p>\n

“The goal was to give the immersive movie goers as close to the live U2:UV <\/strong>concert experience as possible — and then some,” The Edge said in a Sphere press release. “I’ve never seen a U2 show. I’m so relieved I caught a great one.”<\/p>\n

The Irish band\u2019s residency played to over 700,000 fans across 40 sold-out dates from\u00a0September 2023\u00a0through March 2024.<\/p>\n

According to the press release, the concert film was shot with Sphere Entertainment<\/strong>\u2019s patented Big Sky camera, which \u201cdoes not just capture U2’s epic run at Sphere, it allows audiences to feel like they are at the live shows.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, at least audiences won\u2019t feel that way in the wallet. Movie tickets will start at $100, the same price as the current feature, Darren Aronofsky\u2019s \u201cPostcard from Earth,\u201d which is about $500 less than a seat at the U2 concert cost.<\/p>\n

Tickets will be available for purchase by the general public beginning 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 23\u00a0via Ticketmaster.com.<\/p>\n

Whether the movie will play at The Sphere after its Sept. 5\u00a0 screening has not been announced.<\/p>\n

Bleau Tears<\/h2>\n

Tears for Fears<\/strong> will perform three nights at the BleauLive Theater<\/strong> inside the Fontainebleau<\/strong>. The shows will take place on October 30 and November 1-2.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a while since we\u2019ve been on the road and are very eager to share this live show experience with everyone,\u201d band members Roland Orzabal<\/strong> and Curt Smith<\/strong> said in a joint statement. \u201cYou can expect to hear tracks from our 2022 album The Tipping Point as well as fan favorites. Be sure to listen closely though as there may be something new sprinkled in there as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, August 23 on tearsforfears.com.<\/p>\n

F1 Giving Away Something for Free?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

F1 has announced it will host the Las Vegas Grand Prix Fan Festival<\/strong> on the Strip during race weekend, and the general public won’t have to pay to attend.<\/em> The event promises live entertainment across from the Wynn <\/strong>on November 22 and 23.<\/p>\n

This is a welcome change from last year when F1 sold $200-$500 tickets to see the Chainsmokers<\/strong> in the same space on the Friday before race day.
