Lionel Richie postponed three shows this week at Encore Theater at the Wynn: Oct. 14, 16, and 17.
The 77-year-old “Hello” singer recently disclosed that he underwent a procedure for atrial fibrillation, which also forced him to cancel tour stops with Earth, Wind & Fire. He previously halted performances in St. Louis and St. Paul after experiencing dizziness onstage.
Two of the postponed Encore shows have been rescheduled for Jan. 8–9. His next appearances at the Wynn are still set for Nov. 11, 13 and 14.
En Vogue, who just played the Fontainebleau on Oct. 9, 2026, will return to Las Vegas for a one‑night performance at The Pearl at Palms on March 13, 2027. Original members Cindy Herron , Terry Ellis , and Maxine Jones are all still aboard. (Fourth co-founder Dawn Robinson split in 2007.) Tickets go on sale 10 am. Friday (Oct. 18) through Ticketmaster.
Chicago is locking in a tenth straight year at the Venetian Theatre, returning for nine 2027 shows: Feb. 19, 20, 21, 24, 26 and 27, then March 3, 5 and 6. Their run now exceeds 70 performances, the longest in the venue’s history.
However, the group performing at the Venetian Theatre has only one original member left: trumpet player/vocalist Lee Loughnane , 79. Co-founding keyboardist/vocalist Robert Lamm , 81, and trombonist James Pankow, 78, have stepped back from touring in recent years due to medical issues.
Tickets start at $50. Citi presales run now through 10 p.m. PT Thursday (Oct. 15). The general on‑sale begins 10 a.m. Friday (Oct. 16) via Ticketmaster, VenetianLasVegas.com, any Venetian box office, or by phone at 702‑414‑9000 / 866‑641‑7469.
Pearl Jam looks unlikely to take on a Sphere residency. On Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live , lead guitarist Mike McCready said he’d be open to the idea but admitted the rest of the group isn’t convinced. He noted the massive upfront production costs and the long run required to earn that money back, joking, “We’re kind of cheap,” and adding that he’s only “good with Vegas for two days.”
