Even as Sir Rod Stewart was forced to cancel what was supposed to be the 200th, and final, show in his 13-year Las Vegas residency, the indefatigable pop legend announced on Wednesday (August 7) that he will be back at it next year.
“Vegas, I’m having too much fun for this to end so we are coming back for an encore! Don’t miss The Encore Shows Las Vegas Residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace March 12-22 & May 29-June 8!” Stewart wrote on Instagram along with footage of the singer in his signature wild-pattern outfits singing his 1971 classic “Maggie May.”
Tickets for the shows will go on sale on Monday (August 12) at 10 a.m. PT; click here for ticket details.
The news came just a few hours after Stewart, 79, announced that illness required him to cancel what was slated to be the final show in his long-running residency at Caesars Palace. “I’m desperately sorry to miss this 200th show celebration,” he wrote on Instagram. “Most people can work with strep throat but obviously not me. I’m absolutely gutted. I’ve been looking forward to this concert for so long. My deepest regrets for any inconvenience this has caused.”
In that post, he teased “thankfully we’ll now be returning in 2025 and I hope to see you all there.”
The dates for Stewart’s 2025 shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace are:
March 12, 14, 15, 19, 21, 22
May 29, 31
June 1, 5, 7, 8
