VEGAS MUSIC NEWS: Taylor Dayne’s 1st Vegas Residency, More Lionel, Hollywood Undead for Halloween

Taylor Dayne is launching her first‑ever Las Vegas residency at Harrah’s Las Vegas. The former pop princess, now 64, has scheduled eight across the 2026 holiday season: Nov. 24, 25, 27 and 28; Dec. 29, 30 and 31; and then Jan. 2, 2027.

Her production is designed as a three‑act theatrical experience weaving her biggest hits with stories from nearly 40 years in music, giving fans a deeper look at the person behind “Tell It to My Heart,” “Love Will Lead You Back,” and “I’ll Be Your Shelter.”

Dayne also plans a VIP component called “Dayne’s Den,” offering fans a chance to meet her before or after the show, along with potential guest appearances during the run.

Tickets for all eight dates go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. PT Friday (July 31) following multiple presales that run from 10 a.m.-10 p.m. PT Thursday (July 30). Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster or TaylorDayne.com, where the presale info is posted.

Is It Him You’re Looking For?

Lionel Richie will bring his ongoing “King of Hearts” production back to the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas for six more shows: Oct. 14, 16 and 17, followed by Nov. 11, 13 and 14.

Richie has sold out nearly 60 shows at the venue since debuting there in 2019. This return marks his first Las Vegas appearance since a medical issue forced him to halt a June performance on tour with Earth, Wind & Fire — a run that was later extended to accommodate rescheduled dates.

Richie’s setlist typically spans his solo catalog (“Hello,” “All Night Long”) and his Commodores era (“Brick House,” “Still”), reflecting a career that includes more than 125 million albums sold, four Grammys, a Golden Globe, and an Academy Award for “Say You, Say Me.”

Tickets for all six Wynn performances go on sale 10 a.m. PT Friday (July 31) via Ticketmaster or LionelRichie.com/shows.

Virgin Sacrificed for Halloween

Halloween week will get a heavy‑music jolt when the revived “Taste of Chaos” tour hits The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas on Oct. 25. Co‑headliners Hollywood Undead and In This Moment will top a five‑band bill that also includes I See Stars, Vana, and Melrose Avenue.

Tickets start around $61 through Ticketmaster. Guests planning Halloween attire are advised to check the venue’s costume and mask policies before attending.
