Lenny Kravitz is returning to the Las Vegas Strip for another ‘Blue Electric Light’ residency. The announcement comes as Las Vegas continues to establish itself as a premier destination for musical residencies, with venues reporting record attendance numbers in recent years.
The ‘Fly Away’ hitmaker performed five shows at Dolby Live at Park MGM in October in support of his 12th studio album, and he will return to the same venue in Sin City on August 1, 2, 6, 8 and 9. The Dolby Live at Park MGM, which seats 5,200 people, has become one of the most sought-after performance venues on the Strip.
Tickets go on sale on Saturday (11.01.25) at 10am local time. The previous residency shows sold out within hours of release, demonstrating Kravitz’s enduring appeal across multiple generations of music fans.
Before then, Lenny will embark on a European tour in February and April. His international tours have consistently ranked among the highest-grossing rock performances of the past three decades.
The run kicks off on February 22 in Lyon, France, and includes a stop at London’s OVO Arena Wembley on February 26. The European leg of the tour is expected to draw over 100,000 fans across multiple countries.
“Wow. This is incredible. I am so grateful. Thirty-one years ago, my mother was with me at an award show, was at the VMAs, so I dedicate this to her,” In September, Lenny was honored with the Best Rock award for his song ‘Human’ at the MTV Video Music Awards and dedicated the win to his late mom.
The ‘Are You Gonna Go My Way’ hitmaker recalled attending the ceremony with his beloved mother, Roxie Roker, in 1993, two years before she died of cancer aged 66. Roker was a pioneering actress known for her groundbreaking role in “The Jeffersons.”
He said in a pre-show segment before the main ceremony at New York City’s UBS Arena in Long Island: “I thank God for this journey, this incredible journey. I thank Jesus for life.” This emotional tribute resonated with fans worldwide, showcasing the personal side of the rock icon.
Prior to the VMAs, the 60-year-old musician shared a video from the 1993 event and said he would have his mother in his “heart” and mind when he returned to the awards. The vintage footage quickly went viral on social media platforms.
He wrote on Instagram alongside the clip of him winning Best Male Video for ‘Are You Gonna Go My Way’: “Having my beautiful mother by my side at my first #VMAs 31 years ago is a moment I will always cherish. I’m looking forward to taking the stage all these years later where she will be in my heart.” The post garnered millions of likes and thousands of supportive comments from fans and fellow artists.
Kravitz’s career spans over three decades, during which he has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide. His unique blend of rock, soul, and funk has earned him numerous accolades, including four consecutive Grammy Awards for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance from 1999 to 2002.
The upcoming Las Vegas residency will feature songs from his extensive catalog, including hits from his new album ‘Blue Electric Light.’ The show promises to deliver the high-energy performances that have become Kravitz’s trademark, complete with state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems.
Industry experts predict that this residency will continue the successful trend of rock legends choosing Las Vegas as their performance home. The city has evolved from its lounge act origins to become a premier destination for world-class musical entertainment, with residencies generating billions in revenue for the local economy.
Fans can expect an intimate yet spectacular show experience at the Dolby Live, where every seat offers optimal viewing and acoustic conditions. The venue’s recent technological upgrades, including immersive sound systems and advanced lighting capabilities, are perfectly suited to showcase Kravitz’s dynamic performance style.
