Twain announces third Las Vegas residency

-

The Queen of CountryPop is ready to once again rule the “Entertainm­ent Capital of the World.”

Shania Twain announced Tuesday that she is returning for her third Las Vegas residency in 2024.

Billed as “Come on Over,” the 24-show stay at the Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino is named after the diamond album that put Twain on the map in 1997; it was packed with hit singles including “From This Moment on,” “You’re Still the One,” “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” and “That Don’t Impress Me Much.”

“It’s a re-share, it’s like a reunion . ... It’s now been 25 years since I released it — all the hits will be in the show,” Twain, 57, said Tuesday on “CBS Mornings.” “I’m looking forward to just sharing music and being in the same room with everybody that just wants to celebrate and take a break from sometimes everyday real life.”

The Canadian singer’s last Vegas residency at Zappos Theater was cut short in 2020 by the pandemic, but she was able to perform makeup shows in 2022, almost selling out each night and grossing an average of about $1 million per show, about the same rate as other recent, top-billed Vegas artists such as Lady Gaga. Twain’s first residency, a two-year stay from 2012 to 2014 at Caesars Palace that revived her career, grossed more than $40 million, according to box office reports.

Twain has been on tour throughout the past year promoting her latest and sixth studio album, “Queen of Me.” While the tour stretches into November with a second leg touring her native Canada, the singer said she is ready for the predictabi­lity of being at a set location.

“I love that I get consistenc­y, that I can build a show that I don’t have to worry about moving around,” Twain told Billboard.

The Come on Over residency kicks off May 10 and will have dates in May, August, September, November and December.
