Ed Sheeran <\/strong>postponed his Allegiant Stadium<\/strong> concert on Saturday night, Sept. 9 — only 90 minutes before his opening act was to take the stage!<\/em> That left at least 40,000 devastated fans, most of whom flew into Las Vegas just for the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t believe I\u2019m typing this but there\u2019s been some challenges encountered during the load in of our Vegas show,\u201d Sheeran posted to Instagram at 5:45 p.m. PT. \u201cIt\u2019s impossible to go forward with the show. I\u2019m so sorry. I know everyone has travelled in for this and I wish I could change it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show was postponed to Saturday, Oct. 28, with all of Saturday\u2019s tickets valid for the new date.<\/p>\n

According to one unconfirmed report, the stage was shut down by Occupational Safety and Health Administration officials following a collapse that was the fault of a local contractor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At least some fans got a nice consolation prize. After the postponement, Sheeran personally apologized to a few dozen people gathered in one section of the empty stadium, posing for selfies with them. The impromptu session lasted about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

Aguilera Coming NYE<\/h2>\n

Christina Aguilera<\/strong> plans the next residency after Kylie Minogue<\/strong>\u2019s at Voltaire at The Venetian. <\/strong>According to multiple sources quoting reliable insiders, the residency will kick off with a pair of New Year\u2019s Eve shows Dec. 30-31. A run of 16-20 dates is on the table.<\/p>\n

Aguilera’s residency will dovetail nicely with Minogue’s inaugural stint of 20 sold-out dates at the 1,000-capacity theater. The Aussie superstar takes a break after Dec. 15-16 and doesn\u2019t resume her run until March 8. Audiences for the two artists would dovetail nicely, too. Minogue and Aguilera are both icons of the LGBTQ+ community.<\/p>\n

Aguilera\u2019s previous residency, \u201cThe Xperience,\u201d played 24 dates at Planet Hollywood<\/strong> before being cut short by the pandemic shutdown in 2020.<\/p>\n

Manilow Looks to Set Records<\/h2>\n
Barry Manilow <\/strong>is set to break Elvis Presley<\/strong>\u2019s record of 636 sellout shows at the Westgate —<\/strong>\u00a0which, when Elvis did it, was known as the International<\/strong> and the Las Vegas Hilton<\/strong> — over the weekend of Sept. 21-23.<\/div>\n

Country superstar Leann Rimes<\/strong> brings her holiday tour to The Venetian Theatre<\/strong> on Dec. 15 and 16. Tickets to \u201cJoy: The Holiday Tour,\u201d starting at $40, are on sale now through Ticketmaster.<\/p>\n

Though tickets for the debut Las Vegas residency of sixth-season Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/em>\u00a0star Erika Jayne<\/strong> are still on sale through Ticketmaster and Live Nation for their original price of $69, resale sites such as StubHub and Vivid Seats have seats to see her at Mandalay Bay<\/strong>\u2019s House of Blues<\/strong> for as little as $7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
