Jam bands Phish and then Dead & Company followed U2 at the Sphere, and Mariah Carey followed Lady Gaga at Dolby Live with eight shows from July 26 to Aug. 10.
Superstar pop and country singer Shania Twain opened her 24-show “Come On Over” residency at Planet Hollywood on the strip on May 10, 2024, and was set to close the engagement Dec. 14, but decided to extend the residency by nine more shows between Jan. 22 and Feb. 8, 2025 at PH Live.
The residency commemorates the 25th anniversary of Twain’s blockbuster album “Come On Over,” which featured huge hits “Man! I Feel Like A Woman,” “From This Moment On,” “You’re Still The One,” and “That Don’t Impress Me Much.”
Twain has performed two other Vegas residencies, her “Still the One” engagement at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in 2012-2014 and “Let’s Go” at the Zappos Theater, before it was renamed Bakkt Theater, at Planet Hollywood Las Vegas in 2019-2022.
