Kelly Clarkson Extends 2026 Vegas Residency Ahead of First Show Since Brandon Blackstock\u2019s Death<\/h1>\n
<\/div>\n<\/header>\n
\n

Ahead of her emotional return to the Las Vegas stage this week,\u00a0Kelly Clarkson<\/b>\u00a0has announced a new set of summer 2026 dates for her\u00a0\u201cStudio Sessions\u201d<\/b>\u00a0residency at the\u00a0Colosseum at Caesars Palace<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The superstar has added four new dates in August 2026 to her calendar. This extension will run from July 17, 2026, through August 15, 2026.<\/p>\n

Tickets for the newly added dates are set to go on sale\u00a0November 7 at 10 a.m. PT<\/b>, with a presale scheduled to begin on November 5 at 10 a.m. PT. A limited number of tickets for the previously announced 2026 concerts are on sale now.<\/p>\n

A Difficult Year and a Return to the Stage<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n

The announcement comes as Clarkson prepares for her first live concert performances since the death of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock. She is set to return to the stage this week for four previously scheduled \u201cStudio Sessions\u201d shows on\u00a0November 7, 8, 14, and 15.<\/b><\/p>\n

Clarkson\u2019s residency, announced earlier this year, had a challenging start.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • July 4 Postponement:<\/b>\u00a0Clarkson abruptly postponed the run\u2019s first few shows just hours before the opening night on July 4. In an Instagram post, she explained that preparing for the shows had \u201ctaken a toll\u201d on her voice and that she needed to rest to prevent \u201cdoing serious damage.\u201d<\/li>\n
  • A Brief Return:<\/b>\u00a0She returned the following weekend as planned and performed eight gigs at the Colosseum.<\/li>\n
  • Personal Tragedy:<\/b>\u00a0In early August, Clarkson had to step away again after revealing that her ex-husband,\u00a0Brandon Blackstock<\/b>, was ill. Blackstock passed away on\u00a0August 7<\/b>\u00a0from melanoma, a type of skin cancer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In the months following Blackstock\u2019s death, Clarkson kept a low profile but has steadily returned to the public eye. In late September, she returned to her daytime talk show, opening the episode with a poignant cover of The Weeknd\u2019s\u00a0\u201cBlinding Lights.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
