The Scorpions have postponed their five-show 60th anniversary stint at Planet Hollywood. Citing drummer Mikkey Dee’s ongoing battle with sepsis, the German hard-rockers pushed their shows back to August 14-23. They were originally supposed to run from February 28 to March 11.

Tickets will be reissued or refunded by the point-of-sales vendors.

Unresidented

The Black Eyed Peas flat-out canceled their Planet Hollywood residency on Monday. “Black Eyed Peas: 3008 The Las Vegas Residency” was scheduled to include 15 shows between February 15 and May 31.

The band posted on Instagram that “our Las Vegas shows will not be moving forward as planned” and blamed only mysterious “current circumstances.”

Reportedly, those circumstances were a lack of ticket sales.

The Peas ended their message by stating: “Stay tuned for updates on future performances by following us — we can’t wait to see you again.”

The residency was to feature founding members Will.i.am, Apl.de.ap, and Taboo, as well as guitarist George Pajon Jr., who has played with the group since 1998. Still no sign of Fergie, unfortunately, who left in 2017.

Anyma will circle back to the Sphere with more dates for his “The End of Genesys” electronic dance music residency. According to his friend, BBC Radio host Pete Tong, “it has been so big, he will be adding more shows.” The groundbreaking shows dazzled audiences from December 27 – January 11.

We’ll have the deets when they’re announced.

Philly-based dubstep DJ/producer Subtronics will perform a summer residency at Encore Beach Club. The dates will include May 16 and 24, June 21, July 26, and August 30.

“I am so incredibly hype to announce my very first Las Vegas residency!” Subtronics posted to Facebook. “I’m gunna be throwing the absolute heck down at the Wynn.”
