VEGAS MUSIC NEWS: Stubhub’s Best-Selling Residencies of 2024, Dead Live Again

On Tuesday, Stubhub released its ranking of top 2024 live events. Breaking out Las Vegas music residencies from sporting events and the other locations included on its list, we get…

1. Adele at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace
2. The Eagles at the Sphere
3. U2 at the Sphere

According to the ticket reseller, its rankings were based on gross ticket sales revenue on its website, though it didn’t publish the dollar figures.

Earlier this week, Casino.org published a new ranking of all-time highest-grossing Las Vegas residencies. Our rankings included 2024 residencies and revenues earned.

Dead Again

Dead & Company will return for 18 more nights of their “Dead Forever — Live at Sphere” residency next spring.

The dates are March 20-22 and 27-29; April 17-19, 25 and 26; and May 9-11 and 15-17.

Tickets for the concerts, marketed as the band’s “only Sphere shows in 2025,” start at $145 including taxes and fees.

The general on-sale begins at 10 a.m. Friday, December 13 at Ticketmaster.com, with a Live Nation presale starting at 10 a.m. Thursday, December 12. (Use code JOY).

House of Blackhearts

Joan Jett & the Blackhearts will perform a five-night engagement at the House of Blues inside Mandalay Bay on June 13, 14, 18, 20, and 21. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, December 13 via Ticketmaster, with a fan presale at 10 a.m. Wednesday, December 11.

Ole Red Syne

Blake Shelton will perform at his Ole Red on the Strip during this year’s “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest” broadcast. The country star will sing his new song, “Texas,” on the show, which airs starting at 8 p.m. December 31 on ABC-TV.

However, the performance will be pretaped. Most “Rockin’ Eve” performances are to keep technical glitches from halting the show. We’ll let you know if tickets to that taping become publicly available sometime in the next two weeks.
