Wynonna Judd announced Monday that she’s returning to the Venetian Theatre to mark the 40th anniversary of her career with a trio of greatest-hits shows.
Judd last performed a nine-show run in 2015 at the same theater with her mom, Naomi Judd, who died by suicide in 2022 at age 76.
“This is a milestone year for me,” the 60-year-old Country Music Hall of Famer said in a statement. “Mom and I played our very first show in 1984, which means I’ve been performing live for 40 years. That’s more than half of my life!”
Judd will perform Dec. 11, 13, and 14. And it’s no coincidence that these are the final dates of the 2024 National Finals Rodeo at the Thomas & Mack Center.
“‘The Greatest Hits’ celebration is a chance for the fans and I to celebrate,” Judd said. “They have been with me for so long and my hope is that everyone will get to hear their favorite song!”
Tickets, starting at $49, go on sale Friday, July 12, at 10 a.m. PT via Tickemaster and venetianlasvegas.com.
Heart’s Stoppage
Another iconic female duo, Heart, canceled its Dec. 15 tour stop at the Fontainebleau’s BleauLive Theater due to a health scare.
“I recently underwent an operation to remove something that, as it turns out, was cancerous,” the band’s co-founder, 74-year-old singer Ann Wilson, said in a statement last week on X/Twitter.
“The operation was successful & I’m feeling great but my doctors are now advising me to undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I’ve decided to do it.”
Wilson said her doctors ordered her to take the rest of 2024 off to recover. Refunds will automatically be processed through ticket outlets.
Lady Gaga promises that she’s not done with Vegas.
“When we come back, and we hope you’ll come back, we’ll have a brand new show for you!” she said before taking her final bow at her final “Jazz + Piano” residency show at the Dolby Live at Park MGM on Saturday night.
Dua Lipa and Halsey have been added to the annual IHeartRadio Music Festival, slated for the T-Mobile Arena on Sept. 20-21. Already committed are Gwen Stefani, Doja Cat, Keith Urban, Big Sean, and Hozier. Tickets are on sale now.
