Mary J. Blige to play first-ever Las Vegas residency. On Monday, the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul announced her first-ever residency, titled Mary J. Blige: My Life, My Story The Las Vegas Residency. The concerts will be held at the Dolby Live at Park MGM, starting on 1 May 2026. So far, the My Love hitmaker has 10 gigs scheduled to run through the month of July. ”I've been so excited to announce this Vegas residency," she enthused. ”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.” Blige went on to promise that there will be something for everyone at her upcoming shows. ”My Life, My Story will be just that - with some surprises for my fans that have been there through it all. See you in May!" the 55-year-old added.The official ticket sale will kick off on 16 January. And during an appearance on the Today show to promote the residency, Blige divulged that the spectacle may include some unreleased tracks. ”It's going to be done more theatrically. It’s still going to have the music, it's still going to be fun - but it's a story, so there's going to be actors and actresses.” “So, the music tells the story. I have so many songs that I haven't performed yet for my fans... The actors are going to narrate the music, but you're still going to have a good time.” Blige released her fifteenth studio album, Gratitude, in November 2024 and embarked on the For My Fans Tour last year.
