It is one of America’s most important theaters, home to Las Vegas’ top grossing residencies, and in 2021 The Colosseum at Caesars Palace adds another name to its marquee—Usher.
The eight-time Grammy Award winner best known for 2004’s Confessions, ranked by Billboard as one of top solo albums of the decade, will perform 12 dates at The Colosseum beginning July 16, 2021 and running until Jan. 1, 2022.
“I cannot wait to perform for an audience,” Usher says in an exclusive interview with Billboard. “In Vegas, I get a chance to create the show that I want, and I get a chance to be with my fans who’ve been cooped up for months and months.”
While the show promoted by Live Nation and Caesars Entertainment is still in creative development, the multi-hyphenate performer whose career spans 20 years promises an immersive experience designed for the Las Vegas audience highlighting early records, recent songs and new music. For Usher’s audience, this represents a special opportunity to see him as the venue is an “intimate” 4,300 seats and he normally plays arenas.
