Mary J. Blige Is Set for Her First Las Vegas Residency: Here’s When She’s Playing

There’s a new superstar headed to the Las Vegas strip! On Monday (Jan. 12), the day after her birthday, Grammy and Emmy-winning music icon Mary J. Blige announced her first-ever Las Vegas residency. Dubbed Mary J. Blige: My Life, My Story The Las Vegas Residency, the show will kick off May 1 at Dolby Live at Park MGM, with 10 dates scheduled through July.

“I’ve been so excited to announce this Vegas residency,” the “Family Affair” singer said in a statement. “Creating a show like this has been something I’ve always wanted to do. It’s a chance to get my fans together from all over — different cities, states and countries — to experience something together. My Life, My Story will be just that — with some surprises for my fans that have been there through it all.”

Citi/AAdvantage cardmembers will be able to purchase pre-sale tickets through the Citi Entertainment website beginning Tuesday, Jan. 13, at 10 a.m. PT. Artist fan pre-sale begins at the same time on Wednesday (Jan. 14), while the MGM Resorts Rewards member pre-sale kicks off at 10 a.m. PT on Thursday (Jan. 15). General on-sale starts Friday, Jan. 16, at 10 a.m. P.T.

Blige’s new Vegas residency continues her 2020s momentum. She kicked off the decade with a blockbuster Super Bowl Halftime Show performance alongside headliner Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Kendrick Lamar in 2022, the same year she earned six Grammy nominations, including album and record of the year, for her Good Morning Gorgeous LP. In 2024, the Oscar-nominated actress starred in Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Rob Peace (which snagged an NAACP Image Awards nod for outstanding independent motion picture), was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and released her 15th studio album, Gratitude. That album gave way to Blige’s arena-filling For My Fans Tour, which landed as the No. 5 highest-grossing R&B tour of 2025, generating $37.1 million from more than 270,000 tickets sold across 28 dates, according to Billboard Boxscore.

The performer has earned four Billboard 200 No. 1 albums across her three-decade career, including the 2006 behemoth The Breakthrough. Over on the Billboard Hot 100, “Family Affair” remains her sole chart-topper, though she boasts additional top 10 hits such as 1992’s “Real Love” (No. 7), 1996’s “Not Gon’ Cry” (No. 2) and 2005’s “Be Without You” (No. 3).
