Kelly Clarkson will bring her “Studio Sessions” tour back to the Colosseum at Caesars Palace for four shows next August that make up for the four she canceled this August. Those dates are August 7-8 and 14-15, 2026.

Any hard feelings immediately transformed into sympathy when it became evident how sick the father of her two children — her former husband and manager Brandon Blackstock — was. He died from cancer on August 7, just a day after Clarkson postponed the shows.

Clarkson also postponed her residency’s opening weekend on July 4-5, citing vocal stress. (Those shows were moved to July 11-12.)

Original ticketholders from the postponed August 2025 dates are being emailed exclusive presale codes by Ticketmaster today, which will give them first access to the new dates.

After that, Citi cardmembers will have access to any remaining tickets via a presale starting 10 a.m. PT Tuesday, August 4. Fan club presale tickets will be available starting 10 a.m. PT Wednesday, November 5. Caesars Rewards members, Caesars Entertainment’s loyalty program and Live Nation and Ticketmaster customers will have access to a presale starting 10 a.m. PT Thursday, November 6.

Any tickets remaining after all that will be offered via Ticketmaster to the general public at 10 a.m. PT Friday, November 7.

Clarkson’s residency resumes on Friday, November 7 with 22 shows ahead of it.

Pledging Allegiant Returns

Country superstar Morgan Wallen, who sold out Allegiant Stadium twice in August 2024 on his “Still the Problem” tour, will come back for two more with his “Still the Problem” tour. Those dates will be May 1-2, 2026. Brooks & Dunn will open.

Also returning to Allegiant will be Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees AC/DC, who headlined the stadium this April. Their same “Power Up” tour will swing back around on August 1, 2026.

Wallen tickets go on sale on 10 a.m. PT Friday, November 7 via Ticketmaster, with a presale on Wednesday. AC/DC tickets go on sale on 12 p.m. PT Friday, November 7 via Ticketmaster.

Bowled Out

Punk Rock Bowling, the beloved Las Vegas tradition combining a multi-day punk festival with a bowling tournament since 1999, will sit out 2026.

“Life has thrown some unexpected challenges our way over the past several months, and we’re all living through difficult times,” festival organizers Shawn and Mark Stern  announced on Instagram. “This has been an incredibly tough reality for all of us to face. PRB isn’t just a festival, it’s a family reunion. It truly breaks our hearts not to be there with you in 2026.”

The brothers — both active members of the punk band Youth Brigade with their youngest brother Adam Stern — ended the disappointing news with an upbeat “we can’t wait to see you again in 2027.”

Punk Rock Bowling just threw its 25th anniversary festival in May.
