Ahead of her return to Las Vegas this week, Kelly Clarkson has announced a new set of summer 2026 dates for her “Studio Sessions” residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
Clarkson has added four new dates for next August to her calendar, to go along with the six 2026 shows she’d already announced. The run will start July 17 and end Aug. 15. Tickets for the newly added dates will go on sale Nov. 7 at 10 a.m. PT, with a presale scheduled to start Nov. 5 at 10 a.m. PT. A limited number of tickets for Clarkson’s previously announced concerts are on sale now.
Clarkson announced her Studio Sessions residency earlier this year but abruptly postponed the run’s first few shows hours before opening night, July 4. In an Instagram post, Clarkson said preparing for the shows had “taken a toll” on her voice, and that she needed to rest to prevent “doing serious damage.”
Clarkson did return the following weekend as planned and performed eight gigs at the Colosseum, but then had to step away again in early August after revealing that her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, was ill. Blackstock died on Aug. 7, with the cause later revealed to be melanoma, a type of skin cancer.
In the months after Blackstock’s 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 cover of the Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights.” She’s set to return to the stage later this week, Nov. 7, for the first of four previously scheduled Studio Sessions shows. The other gigs will take place Nov. 8, 14, and 15.
