Mary J. Blige Good Morning Gorgeous Tour - Las Vegas, NV — Bryan Steffy

Mary J. Blige is back and ready to reclaim her throne! This time around though, the incomparable Queen of Hip-Hop Soul is choosing Las Vegas to call her royal palace as she embarks on a first-ever residency series at Dolby Live in Park MGM.

Dubbed My Life, My Story, the two-stint live concert will run its first leg during the first week of May 2026, with recommencement scheduled for the second week of July 2026.

What a way to kick off a milestone 55th birthday week — go Mary!

A quote from the Queen herself regarding the My Life, My Story Vegas Residency below, via USA Today:

“‘I’ve been so excited to announce this Vegas residency,’ Blige said in a release alongside the announcement. ‘Creating a show like this has been something I’ve always wanted to do. It’s a chance to get my fans together from all over – different cities, states, and countries – to experience something together. My Life, My Story will be just that – with some surprises for my fans that have been there through it all. See you in May!’
