Mary J. Blige to Begin First Las Vegas Residency

Blige: My Life, My Story – The Las Vegas Residency. The residency is scheduled to kick off on 1 May 2026 at the Dolby Live at Park MGM venue, with a total of 10 shows planned to run through July.
Expressing her enthusiasm for the upcoming residency, Blige stated, “Creating a show like this has been something I’ve always wanted to do.

Ticket sales for the residency will officially begin on 16 January. During a recent appearance on the Today show to promote the upcoming shows, Blige hinted at the possibility of including some unreleased tracks in her performances. She revealed, “It’s going to be done more theatrically. It’s still going to have the music, it’s still going to be fun – but it’s a story, so there’s going to be actors and actresses. The music tells the story, and I have so many songs that I haven’t performed yet for my fans.”

With her extensive music catalog and dedicated fan base, the My Life, My Story residency promises to be a unique and unforgettable experience for attendees.
