Blake Shelton is taking his act to Vegas. He has announced that his first Las Vegas residency, "Blake Shelton: Live in Las Vegas," will take place at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in 2025. The shows will take place between February 5th and February 15th, with tickets going on sale beginning August 16th at 1 p.m. EST on Blake's website. Of the idea behind the residency, Blake said, "It's been swirling for years now, and ever since the idea was first floated about opening an Ole Red in Las Vegas, this conversation has been happening too. If you're going to have a stake in Las Vegas, you got to do a residency also if you're an artist," he adds. "I've just been kicking the can down the road because I wanted the Ole Red to be open before I did it." With the Las Vegas location of his Ole Red bar now up and running, that was the green light Blake needed to consider a residency in Vegas.
Jordan Davis was headlining, but his alter ego, ""Shades" Davis," was all about sitting among the fans. Jordan posted a clip on Instagram of "Shades" mingling with fans before his concert, which Mitchell Tenpenny and Ashley Cooke were opening. Trying to remain incognito, Davis chatted up some random concert-goers, asking them if they were there for "Mitchell and Ashley," and informing them they might as well leave after the opening acts, as "the headliner kinda sucks." One fan was onto Davis, but when she asked him if he was the country singer, he denied it. "Oh, you look like him," she said...and looked unconvinced. Davis' country pals thought it was a great gag, with Tenpenny, Thomas Rhett and Hardy giving him props in the comments section. See "Shades" Davis mingle with the fans below...
