Las Vegas Welcomes Legendary Icons in a Month of Timeless Performances
Las Vegas is hosting a wave of veteran musicians this month, with some of the biggest names in pop, soul, and rock taking the stage. The average age of headlining acts this week sits at 77, proving that legendary performers continue to draw crowds decades after their first hits.
The lineup kicks off with Bruno Mars, who will team up with Anderson .Paak and Leon Thomas at Allegiant Stadium on April 10 and 11. A few days later, guitar virtuosos Steve Vai and Joe Satriani share the stage at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas on April 11.
On April 17, 18, 22, and 24–26, producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis—aged 66 and 69—will launch their first Las Vegas residency at Voltaire at the Venetian. The duo will perform the hits they wrote for icons like Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, and Usher.
Soul legends Smokey Robinson, 85, and Gladys Knight, 81, take the spotlight together at the Pearl at the Palms on April 25. Robinson, a Motown pioneer, shaped the label's sound with classics like Shop Around and The Tracks of My Tears. Knight, known for her work with the Pips, delivered timeless tracks such as I Heard It Through the Grapevine and Midnight Train to Georgia.
The month closes with Paul Anka, 84, performing at the Pearl at the Palms on May 16. Meanwhile, pop-punk and emo fans can catch Yellowcard, New Found Glory, and Plain White T's at BleauLive Theater at the Fontainebleau on May 30.
From Motown to modern pop, the city's stages will feature artists whose careers span over half a century. Tickets for these shows remain in high demand, reflecting the enduring appeal of performers who defined generations of music.
