VEGAS MUSIC NEWS: No Limit for Eagles at Sphere, Another Bryan Adams Encore

Key Points

  • The Eagles have expanded their Las Vegas residency at the Sphere with four new dates in January 2027, bringing their total performance count to 72 and its residency timeline past its expected limit one more time
  • Eighties hitmaker Bryan Adams is set to bring his stripped-down "Bare Bones" acoustic residency back to the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas for a third run, for five nights from October 28 through November 1, 2026.
  • Sin City Stones, the Rolling Stones tribute production at the X Rocks Theater, is scheduled to permanently close following the expiration of its contract on Aug. 22, 2026

The Eagles have announced new shows at the Sphere for the first time in at least 15 minutes. (Just kidding, but it doesn’t feel far off.)

The classic rock band’s latest added concerts will take place Jan. 15-16 and 22-23, 2027. That brings the total shows to 72, and the number extensions of their original dates to 13. It also makes 2027 the third straight year at the Sphere for band famous for the song “Take It to the Limit.”

Tickets start at $175 and reflect all-in pricing, meaning the ticket price listed is inclusive of taxes and fees. They go on sale to the public starting 10 a.m. PT Friday (Aug. 14) at Ticketmaster.

The new dates also effectively shelve leader Don Henley’s May comment to CBS This Morning claiming that the group was likely to wrap up its Vegas residency in 2026.

Bryan Adams Runs Back to Wynn

Eighties hitmaker Bryan Adams will bring his “Bare Bones” acoustic residency back to Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas for a third run of shows this fall: Oct. 28 through Nov. 1, including a Halloween performance.

The acoustic format strips Adams’ catalog down to voice, guitar, piano and minimal accompaniment, performed alongside longtime collaborator Gary Breit. The setlist highlights Adams’ four decade career, including hits such as “Summer of ’69” and “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You.”

Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. PT Friday, Aug. 7 through Ticketmaster.

Finish Me Up

Sin City Stones, the Rolling Stones tribute show at the X Rocks Theater, will close after its Aug. 22 performance, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The production’s contract expires on that date, ending a run that began Aug. 28, 2025, with shows at 7 p.m. Thursdays and Saturdays.

The adult revue X Rocks will continue anchoring the theater at 9:30 p.m. Thursdays and Saturdays.
