Kelly Clarkson is heading back to Las Vegas, and this time, she’s turning the stage into her own recording studio. The Grammy-winning singer just announced an 18-show residency, “Kelly Clarkson: Studio Sessions – The Las Vegas Residency,” set to take place at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace from July through November.
A Studio Experience Like Never Before
Clarkson isn’t just giving fans a regular concert—she’s bringing the recording studio vibe to the stage. This unique residency aims to make audiences feel like they’re witnessing the hitmaker in action, crafting and performing her songs in a raw, intimate setting.
She teased the concept in a statement, saying, “I’m so excited to be back in Vegas! We’re bringing the studio to the stage this time with ‘Studio Sessions!’ See y’all soon!” The idea is to showcase not just her powerhouse vocals but also the process behind her music, giving fans an exclusive, behind-the-scenes feel.
The show promises a stripped-down yet immersive experience, one that’s different from her previous residency at Planet Hollywood’s PH Live in 2023-24.
Dates and Ticket Details
For those eager to grab a seat, tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Pacific Time on February 14 via Ticketmaster.com.
Here’s the full list of show dates:

- August: 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16

A Return to the Vegas Stage
Clarkson’s last run in Vegas at Planet Hollywood’s PH Live was a hit, drawing sold-out crowds and rave reviews. Her ability to blend powerhouse vocals with humor and authenticity made it a standout show.
This time, with “Studio Sessions,” she’s taking a different approach. While the residency is expected to include her biggest hits, from Since U Been Gone to Stronger, it will also highlight the creative process behind her music.
What to Expect from the Show
Clarkson is known for mixing up her setlists and keeping things fresh, so no two nights may be the same. While she hasn’t revealed the full details, fans can likely expect:
- Live versions of her biggest hits like Breakaway, Because of You, and Piece by Piece
- Intimate acoustic moments featuring deep cuts and fan favorites
- Unscripted interactions that showcase her signature humor and storytelling
- Surprise covers—Clarkson’s known for her love of putting her spin on classic songs
Given her experience as a talk show host, she might even incorporate some fun banter and audience engagement.
A Hot Ticket in a Competitive Residency Scene
Las Vegas has become the go-to spot for music’s biggest stars, with residencies from Adele, Usher, and U2 dominating the Strip. But Clarkson brings something different—she’s both a pop icon and a relatable, down-to-earth performer.
Her ability to strip songs down to their rawest form while still delivering a high-energy show is what sets her apart. The residency is expected to appeal to both longtime fans and casual listeners alike.
With 18 shows and a unique studio concept, Studio Sessions could be one of the most sought-after Vegas residencies this year.
