Zac Brown Band and Kelly Clarkson to Headline Las Vegas Residencies
Pop superstar Kelly Clarkson and country music sensation Zac Brown Band are set to take the stage in Las Vegas for exciting residencies at two iconic venues.
Kelly Clarkson, who had to cancel the first two dates of her Caesars Palace residency due to illness, expressed her joy at returning to perform at the Colosseum. On July 11, she apologized to the audience, assuring them that the majority of those present were not affected by the cancellations as their Vegas vacations were not ruined [1].
Clarkson, who blew her voice out during rehearsals for her Caesars Palace residency, is now eager to perform, expressing her happiness to be back at the Colosseum [1]. The exact dates for her residency are yet to be announced.
Meanwhile, Zac Brown Band has secured a residency at the Las Vegas Sphere, starting on Friday, December 5, 2025. The band will perform additional shows on December 6, 12, 13, and with more dates added for January 9 and 10, 2026 [1][2]. This residency coincides with the release of their upcoming album, Love & Fear, on the same opening night, December 5.
Love & Fear promises collaborations with notable artists such as Dolly Parton, Snoop Dogg, and Marcus King [2]. The album, the band's seventh studio release, is set to bring the band's signature harmonies and a genre-bending sound to life [1][2].
The Zac Brown Band's Las Vegas Sphere residency will be an immersive experience, blending music, visuals, and storytelling [1][2]. The band's shows are typically performed in similarly sized venues, making this residency a significant milestone for them.
The UNITY Sphere residency series, which also features Chase & Status, Kaskade, and Eli Brown, is already a hit, with its opening weekend sold out [3]. Tickets for the general public go on sale at 10 am on July 25, 2025, while presales for fan club members start at 10 am on July 21, 2025 [4]. The headliners for the last five shows of the UNITY Sphere residency will be announced in the coming weeks [5].
Dolly Parton is also performing at Caesars Palace during the same dates as Zac Brown's residency [6]. DJ Snake will headline the UNITY Sphere residency show on September 19th [7].
