VEGAS MUSIC ROUNDUP: Viva Boss Vegas, Maroon 5 Adds 16, Justin to Open Fontainebleau

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will viva Las Vegas for the first time in more than 20 years. The Boss and his band have booked T-Mobile Arena for Friday, March 22.

Springsteen has not played Vegas since “The Rising Tour” stopped at the Thomas & Mack Center on Aug. 18, 2002. This will be his first live shows since “The River Tour” ended a 14-month run in 2017.

Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 14 via AXS.com.

The E-Streeters’ next commitment after that isn’t until March 28 in San Francisco. So, if Friday’s show sells out — which is it all but certain to — expect a Saturday, March 23 show to be added on or around Dec. 15.

Maroon 5 Adds 2024 Dates

Maroon 5 will return to Dolby Live at Park MGM for 16 more dates of “M5LV The Residency” in 2024: May 17, 18, 22, 25, 26, 29, and 31; June 1; Sept. 27 and 28; and Oct. 2, 4, 5, 9, 11, and 12.

Tickets are on sale now through Ticketmaster.

The Night Adele Went Gaga

Of all the celebs who have attended the “Weekends with Adele” residency since it opened at Caesars Palace on Nov. 18, 2022 — from Paul McCartney to Kim Kardashian to Jennifer Lopez — the one who flustered the singer the most was Lady Gaga.

“I shat myself the whole show,” the 35-year-old hitmaker told the Hollywood Reporter last week. “I’ve spent a bit of time with her, but I rate her so hard. I was like, ‘The show’s terrible. It’s rubbish. I’m singing terribly. I’m not funny. My dress is rubbish this week.’ I was judging myself. And she’s not like that. But she made me really, really nervous.”

Timberlake House

Finally, Justin Timberlake will play the grand-opening party for Fontainebleau Las Vegas, the first casino resort to open on the Strip since Resorts World in 2021. As per Vital Vegas, the Dec. 13 appearance will make the former N’ Sync frontman $6.3M richer — nearly six times what Elton John would have cost.

The reason we didn’t lead with this very leadable concert news, however, is because it’s an invite-only party. Tickets are not available for the public to buy, buy, buy.
