The two biggest residency shows happening on the Strip right now have added many more dates to their respective schedules. “Weekends With Adele” at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, which has been breaking records since opening in November 2022, has announced “one last extension” that will keep Adele singing at Caesars on Friday and Saturday nights through June 15, 2024. She was set to wrap things up on November 4, but now a new leg begins on January 19 with dates through the first half of the new year (except for April). Registration for tickets for these new shows began earlier this week and sales start on Thursday, October 26 via Ticketmaster. And then there’s that other thing that a lot of people are sort of talking about: “U2: UV Achtung Baby Live” at Sphere has announced 11 more dates from January 26 through February 18. The groundbreaking residency at the brand-new venue also has concerts in the books through December 16, and the general onsale for the newly announced shows begins today, October 25, at 11 a.m. at Ticketmaster.

Here are other entertainment event announcements this week: Toby Keith will take over at Dolby Live at Park MGM during rodeo week with concerts on December 10 and 11; Maz Jobrani brings his Mr. International Comedy Tour to the Summit Showroom at Venetian on December 22 and 23; Kelly Clarkson is set to return to Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood for two of the biggest weekends of the coming months, on December 30 and 31 for New Year’s Eve and on February 9 and 10 during the Super Bowl; fresh off a great stint hosting “Saturday Night Live,” Bad Bunny will be back in the city at T-Mobile Arena on February 23 and 24; alt-rockers 311 are back for their annual 311 Day celebration concert with shows scheduled at Dolby Live on March 9 and 10; frequently visiting funnyman Nate Bargatze will return to Encore Theater in the spring with twice-a-night shows on March 20, 22 and 23; “Dancing With the Stars Live” takes over the Pearl Concert Theater on March 22; international star cellist Hauser will perform at Encore Theater on June 22; Lionel Richie is ready to continue his residency at Encore Theater next year with dates stretching from June 26 through November 16; and pop-punk institution Blink-182, fresh off headlining performances from last week’s When We Were Young festival on the Strip, will return to Las Vegas for a tour stop at T-Mobile Arena on July 3.

A new episode of “Lego Masters” on Fox TV this week (October 26 at 9 p.m.) will feature a special performance by cast members of Cirque du Soleil’s acclaimed productions “O” and “KÀ.” The entire episode will be Cirque-themed, with this season’s competitors dividing into teams to construct their own “shows” of four different acts. Expect the Las Vegas artists to bring plenty of awe and inspiration when you tune in.
