The Eagles have taken “taking it to the limit” to a new limit. A new quartet of shows brings their total run at the Sphere to 68 shows since debuting in September 2024.

The classic rock band will return to the venue December 4–5 and 11–12. Tickets will be available starting 10 a.m. PT on Thursday, July 9 through Ticketmaster, with an artist presale beginning 10 a.m. PT July 15.

The new shows arrive as the group continues the “long goodbye” tour it began 23 years ago.

“I think this year will probably be in,” group leader Don Henley told CBS This Morning earlier this year.

Uh-huh.

A Little Rascal

Country stars Rascal Flatts will return to Las Vegas for a one‑night performance at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Dec. 5.

The booking continues Las Vegas’ tradition of pairing major country acts with one of the Strip’s largest annual tourism drivers, the National Finals Rodeo.

The trio last headlined in Las Vegas in 2017 during a five‑show residency at the Venetian Theatre.

Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. Friday, July 10 via Ticketmaster.

House of Santana

Carlos Santana will expand his long-running House of Blues residency with eight new dates: Nov. 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, and 15, 2026. Santana, now 78, has performed more than 300 shows at the Mandalay Bay venue since launching his residency there in 2012.

Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. PT Saturday, July 11 via Ticketmaster.

Tejano Takeover

Las Vegas will host the 22nd annual Vegas Tejano Takeover, consisting of four days of Tex‑Mex and Conjunto music, from July 9–12 at the Westgate. Featured will be Los Palominos, Michael Salgado, Elsa Garcia, Marcos Orozco, Solido, The Latin Breed, La Fiebre, and the Official Emilio Navaira Tribute.

Organizers describe the festival as a cultural homecoming for Mexican American fans nationwide, with concerts, mega dances, a fan expo, and poolside performances forming what a “96-hour Tejano music marathon.”

Tickets are available at VegasTejano.com.
