Kelly Clarkson begins a new Vegas residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace this summer. “Studio Sessions — The Las Vegas Residency” will perform 18 times between Independence Day and Thanksgiving.

“I’m so excited to be back in Vegas!” Clarkson said in a statement from Caesars Entertainment. “We’re bringing the studio to the stage this time… See y’all there!”

The hit singer and TV talk show host last resided at the Bakkt (now PH Live) Theater at Planet Hollywood in 2023 and 2024. So, while this is technically a capacity downgrade — from PH Live’s 7,000 to the Colosseum’s 4,100 — the Colosseum tends to host bigger names (Adele, Elton John, and Celine Dion), and so confers more prestige.

Here are the dates:

• July 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, 26
• August 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16
• November 7, 8, 14, 15

Tickets go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. PT Friday, February 14 via ticketmaster.com/KellyVegas. A CitiCard presale begins at 10 a.m. Friday, February 7 via t www.citientertainment.com. A fan club presale starts at 10 a.m. Saturday, February 8, and Caesars Rewards members, along with Live Nation and Ticketmaster customers, can get their crack at 10 a.m. Monday, February 10.

Beyoncé’s Vegas Hold ‘Em

Beyoncé announced the cities for her “Cowboy Carter” tour earlier this week with no Las Vegas date. However, Las Vegas appeared in a graphic of the tour’s stops posted to her social media. Since she will be performing in stadiums in other cities, speculation centers on the open dates on Allegiant Stadium’s calendar.

Donny Osmond Reunites with Self

Since patching things up with Marie Osmond is apparently a technical impossibility, Donny Osmond has turned to technology to inject a different kind of duet into his Harrah’s residency, which continues through at least June. And this one is bound to please his core audience of female Gen-Xers almost as much.

“Can you imagine sharing the stage with your 14-year-old self?” Osmond, 67, asked in this video he posted to Instagram to Instagram on Wednesday.

“Thanks to some mind-blowing AI and CGI technology, I’m going to be talking and singing with Donny Osmond — you know, the one from 1972.”

The video showed Osmond joking around with his younger self, asking him how it feels to sing with himself 50 years in the future.

“It’s kind of like singing with my grandpa,” 1972 Donny replied.

Osmond had previously teased a mysterious new co-star that would be “a great singer … an Osmond, and maybe, just maybe, the best-dressed Osmond.”

Osmond and his younger sister, Marie, co-headlined a residency at the Flamingo from 2008 to 2019, before he began his solo residency at Harrah’s in 2021.

Osmond became a teen idol in the early 1970s on the strength of the hit “Puppy Love” and the ABC-TV variety show “Donnie & Marie,” which ran from 1976 to 1979.

Tickets are available at Ticketmaster.
