VEGAS MUSIC NEWS: K-pop’s LISA Adds Caesars Palace Dates, Plus Pink Floyd, A Perfect Circle, Metallica Scoops

LISA, the first K-pop artist with a Las Vegas residency, has expanded hers with two newly added shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace: Nov. 12 and 19.

The additions bring “VIVA LA LISA” to six total dates, after the initial four (Nov. 13-14 and 27-28) reportedly sold out in under 10 minutes when they went on sale in April.

The 29-year-old singer, born Lalisa Manoban, has become one of the most commercially powerful voices in global pop. She and her foursome, Blackpink, sold out Allegiant Stadium back in August 2023, grossing over $11.4 million—still the record for the highest-grossing single concert by a vocal group.

LISA also holds the largest Instagram following of any K-pop performer, 107 million—more than double the population of South Korea.

Tickets for the newly added dates go on sale to the public 10 a.m. PT Wednesday (Sept. 30) via Ticketmaster.

Circling Back

A Perfect Circle—the multiplatinum art-rock duo featuring Tool singer Maynard James Keenan with guitarist Billy Howerdel—will perform at the BleauLive Theater inside Fontainebleau Las Vegas on June 10 and 11, 2027 with support act The Cult.

Though this marks the group’s debut at Fontainebleau, A Perfect Circle has a long Vegas history, having performed at the House of Blues, the original Hard Rock Hotel, and the Pearl at the Palms between 2000 and 2018.

Pre-sales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale, which begins 10 a.m. PT Friday (Oct. 2) via fountainebleaulasvegas.com.

Palms to Host Pink Floyd Production

That long‑rumored Pink Floyd production at the Sphere isn’t happening. But if it’s any consolation, “Roger Waters Presents Legacy—A Pink Floyd Show” is coming to The Pearl at the Palms on Sept. 16.

The production is a curated retrospective produced and directed by the band’s co-founder. But it’s performed entirely by a separate ensemble: a 10‑piece band led by Waters’ son, Harry Waters, a pianist and composer who has toured with his father for years.

Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. Friday (Oct. 2) through AXS.com.

Santana Continues Rock’s Longest Vegas Residency

Carlos Santana will extend his already-record-breaking rock residency into its 15th year at Mandalay Bay’s House of Blues with newly announced bookings for 2027. The 79-year-old Woodstock alum’s dance card now includes Jan. 20-21, 23-24, 2- 28, 30-31, and May 12-13, 15-16, 19-20, and 22- 23.

Santana launched his residency in May 2012, performing for more years, and for more shows in one location, than any rock artist in Las Vegas history—more than 300 and counting.

Tickets for the new dates go on sale 10 a.m. PT Friday (Oct. 2) via Ticketmaster.

Life Bleeds Faster

While many Sphere headliners get dragged for bleeding their fans dry at the merch counter, Metallica is taking a more literal approach. The Metallica Blood Donation Experience, created in partnership with the American Red Cross, opened this week at Fashion Show Mall.

The pop‑up features check‑in stations decked out like recording studios themed to each band member. Donors give blood while listening to Metallica tracks in a room lined with concert posters. After donating, fans receive a limited‑edition “Red Cross x Metallica” T‑shirt and can relax and enjoy refreshments in a backstage‑themed lounge featuring a Metallica pinball machine and a replica TAMA Lars Ulrich drum kit—which all donors are automatically entered to win.
