Pink Makes History as First Female Solo Headliner at Las Vegas Sphere With 2027 Residency

A Career-Defining First

Pink is no stranger to pushing boundaries, but her latest announcement marks a new milestone in a career that has already spanned more than two decades. The pop star will take up a nine-date residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas in 2027, becoming the first solo female pop artist to headline the venue since it opened in 2023. The news, confirmed by both Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, positions Pink alongside an elite group of performers who have graced the Sphere's immersive stage.

The residency kicks off on Wednesday, September 29, 2027, with subsequent shows on October 1, 2, 6, 8, 9, 27, 29, and a final performance on October 30. It will be Pink's first-ever residency, a fact she emphasized in a social media post announcing the news. "This idea has been bubbling up for years, and I finally get to share it with all of you," she wrote. "Let's celebrate! The highs, the lows, the new, the scary, the never been done before. For the first time, I'm giving a show a home and I hope you'll visit. It's my FIRST EVER residency. @spherevegas, 2027. I can't wait to have you over."

A Venue Like No Other

The Sphere, which opened on September 29, 2023, with U2's groundbreaking U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere residency, has quickly become one of the most sought-after stages in entertainment. Designed by Populous, the venue seats 17,600 people and boasts a total capacity of 20,000. Its immersive capabilities include a 16K resolution wraparound interior LED screen, beamforming and wave field synthesis audio technology, and 4D physical effects. The exterior features 580,000 square feet of LED displays, making it the largest in the world. At a cost of $2.3 billion, it is the most expensive entertainment venue ever built in Las Vegas.

Since its opening, the Sphere has hosted residencies from a diverse array of artists, including Kenny Chesney, the Eagles, Dead & Company, Phish, the Backstreet Boys, No Doubt, and Metallica. Pink's residency will make her just the second woman to headline the venue overall, following Gwen Stefani-fronted No Doubt's summer run. She joins a lineup of stars slated to play the Sphere in 2027, including John Mayer, Rush, Carín León, and Metallica.

From Summer Carnival to Sphere

The residency marks Pink's most notable concerts since she wrapped her Summer Carnival tour in 2024. That trek, which ran across 2023 and 2024, followed her Trustfall tour in 2023 and 2024, named after her ninth studio album released in 2023. The Summer Carnival tour was a massive undertaking, showcasing Pink's signature aerial acrobatics and high-energy performances across stadiums worldwide. Now, she's trading the road for a permanent home—at least for nine nights.

Pink's career has been defined by reinvention and resilience. Since her debut album Can't Take Me Home in 2000, she has released nine studio albums, won three Grammy Awards, and sold over 90 million records worldwide. Her hits, including "Get the Party Started," "So What," "Raise Your Glass," and "Just Give Me a Reason," have become anthems for generations of fans. Her ability to blend pop, rock, and R&B with fearless honesty has set her apart in an industry that often rewards conformity.

A Year of Recognition

The Sphere announcement caps off a remarkable year for Pink. In June, she hosted the 79th Tony Awards on Broadway, showcasing her versatility as an entertainer. She was also nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year, joining a prestigious list of nominees including Mariah Carey, Lauryn Hill, Oasis, Shakira, and Luther Vandross. Additionally, she has been nominated for entrance into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, a testament to her songwriting prowess.

Beyond the stage, Pink has never shied away from using her platform to speak out. Recently, she faced backlash for reposting a call for Macklemore to be dropped from the Ed Sheeran tour in the wake of his pro-Palestinian statements. Pink responded with a lengthy message clarifying her perspective. "To the ones who are furious with me: you don't have to agree with me," she wrote. "You never did. That's been our unspoken agreement for twenty-five years, and it still stands, and so do I. You don't have to agree with one thing Israel's government does to not want the Jewish family two rows down from you to be scared or targeted at a concert. That's the only thing I'm asking anybody for. To the ones who are frightened this week, Jewish or Muslim or Palestinian or Israeli or just tired of all of it: I see you. And if anybody wants to really know what I think, just ask me. I'm right here. I've never been hard to find. And I'll keep speaking out, in my own words."

What to Expect

While details of the Sphere residency's creative direction remain under wraps, Pink's track record suggests a spectacle that will leverage the venue's unique capabilities. Her live shows are known for their theatricality, featuring aerial stunts, elaborate stage design, and a raw emotional connection with the audience. The Sphere's immersive technology—including its wraparound screen and 4D effects—offers limitless possibilities for an artist who has always aimed to deliver more than just a concert.

Fans can register for artist presale on Pink's website. Presale begins on November 18 at 10 a.m. PT, while Vibee package presale starts November 11 at 10 a.m. PT. General onsale starts November 20 at 10 a.m. PT. In a playful nod to the residency, the SlotZilla zipline at Fremont Street Experience will be rebranded as "P!nkzilla" from November 11 through November 19.

As Pink prepares to make history at the Sphere, one thing is clear: she's not slowing down. From her early days as an R&B-infused pop newcomer to her current status as a stadium-filling, record-breaking icon, Pink has consistently defied expectations. Her Sphere residency is more than just a series of concerts—it's a celebration of a career built on authenticity, resilience, and an unwavering connection with her fans. And as she put it, "Let's celebrate! The highs, the lows, the new, the scary, the never been done before."
