Oasis Declines Vegas Sphere Residency as David Byrne and Bryan Adams Secure Shows in Sin City
This year, the Las Vegas entertainment scene is buzzing with exciting announcements. Bryan Adams and David Byrne are among the prominent artists set to grace Sin City in 2026, while rumors swirl about Oasis declining a lucrative residency offer at the Sphere.
Bryan Adams Returns to Las Vegas
In June 2026, Bryan Adams will perform three solo acoustic shows at the Encore Theatre, located in Wynn Las Vegas. The dates for these intimate performances are June 3, 5, and 6. Adams will present his unique “Bare Bones” format, accompanied by his longtime pianist, Gary Breit.
Ticket presales are expected to begin in mid-December, followed by general sales shortly thereafter. Fans eagerly anticipate this chance to see Adams in a more personal setting.
Oasis Declines Sphere Residency
In a surprising turn of events, Oasis has reportedly turned down an opportunity for a residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas. This decision has been attributed to financial concerns, particularly regarding the venue’s high production costs and the expectations set by previous headliners.
An anonymous source stated, “He’s not going to waste money on a spectacle that will lose him and everyone else cash.” The financial dynamics of the Sphere have come under scrutiny, especially in light of the significant revenue generated from past productions.
David Byrne’s Anticipated Vegas Show
Adding to the excitement in 2026, David Byrne will debut his show, Who Is The Sky, at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on April 20. This marks Byrne’s first performance in Las Vegas since 2018 and coincides with the release of his upcoming studio album of the same name.
The production promises to be a fully staged, choreographed theatrical experience featuring a 12-piece band. The setlist will mix classics from Talking Heads with selections from Byrne’s solo work. Presales for tickets will begin on December 11, followed by public sales on December 12.
