Lady Gaga to revive ‘Jazz & Piano’ residency in Vegas
Lady Gaga is again reviving her ‘Jazz & Piano’ Las Vegas residency this summer.
The 13-time Grammy Award-winning singer will return to Dolby Live at Park MGM for eight dates between 19 June and 6 July.
The residency, which debuted in 2019, celebrates her love of the Great American Songbook and features reworked versions of her biggest hits.
Gaga revived the residency at Dolby Live late last summer until early autumn, following the death of Tony Bennett, with whom she collaborated closely during the latter years of his life.
The setlist boasts several songs that the pair recorded and performed together, such as “Cheek to Cheek” and “The Lady Is a Tramp”.

The first Jazz & Piano shows in 2019 were paired with her Enigma concert residency, in which she showcased her pop hits.
The 11-date sold-out run at The Park Theater at Monte Carlo Resort & Casino in Las Vegas grossed $16 million and sold 59,162 tickets, according to Billboard.
The residency comprised two Jazz & Piano shows and nine Enigma shows and, notably, the former concerts were individually the two highest-grossing and least-attended dates.
Gaga’s most recent performances include a private show at the Fontainebleau in Vegas last month, as well as a Fortnite: Battle Royale gig during the 2024 Fortnite Festival on 22 February.

Elsewhere in Vegas, country star Keith Urban is picking up five of Adele’s dates at the Colosseum (cap. 4,300), Caesar’s Palace, following the postponement of her residency.
The five new dates, between 25 March and 2 April, will be in addition to Urban’s previously announced Colosseum gigs between 27–29 May.
Adele last month announced that she would be postponing her entire residency because the show “isn’t ready”.
The announcement came just 24 hours before her Live Nation-promoted residency, Weekends With Adele, was due to kick off.
The star, who is represented by Lucy Dickins and Kirk Sommer at WME, was due to perform two shows every weekend at Caesars Palace’s Colosseum theatre (cap. 4,300) from 21 January until mid-April.
Also due to deliver residencies at the Colosseum this year are Van Morrison, Sting and Rod Stewart.
