Fresh off her show-stopping hosting gig at the AMAs, Jennifer Lopez is headed back to Sin City. The global superstar announced a brand-new Las Vegas residency called Up All Night Live, a high-energy spectacular set to take over the famed Colosseum at Caesars Palace in late 2025 and early 2026. The 55-year-old singer/actress unveiled the residency last night in Las Vegas, sharing details of an extravagant show that promises to bring “Jenny from the Block” to the Strip with glamour and gusto. Lopez, who previously enjoyed a successful three-year Vegas residency (Jennifer Lopez: All I Have from 2016–2018), told fans she is “beyond excited to return to the Vegas stage” and teased that the new show will be “bigger, bolder, and more personal than ever.”
According to Lopez’s announcement, Up All Night Live will be a limited engagement residency with dates in December 2025, January 2026, and March 2026. The show is slated to kick off just before New Year’s Eve – a fitting time for J.Lo to ring in 2026 with her signature party anthems. Opening night is set for December 30, 2025, followed by a special New Year’s Eve performance on December 31. After a brief break, the residency will resume with multiple weekends of shows in March 2026. In total, Lopez has lined up 12 concerts so far: two shows at the end of December, two in early January, and eight spread across Friday-Saturday weekends in March. “We’re going to celebrate, dance and stay up all night together,” Lopez said with a grin, referencing the residency’s title. The Colosseum – known for hosting icons from Celine Dion to Adele – will be home to J.Lo’s new production, which is expected to feature elaborate staging, a live band, and a troupe of dynamic dancers. Fans can look forward to a setlist packed with Lopez’s greatest hits (from “If You Had My Love” to “On the Floor”), as well as show-stopping choreography and stunning costume changes that have become a hallmark of her performances. Lopez hinted that the show will incorporate elements of her Latin heritage and decades-spanning career: “It’s going to be a journey through my music – the old, the new, and everything in between – with that Vegas razzle-dazzle,” she said in a press statement.
The residency announcement comes after Lopez recently canceled a planned world tour last year, choosing instead to focus on projects closer to home. She explained that a stationary show in Las Vegas offers more stability for her family life. “I like being close to home… instead of touring the whole world,” Lopez told Variety in an interview about the decision. “I thought about going back on tour, but then I realized: you know what, a residency lets me do what I love without being away from my kids for too long.” Lopez added that she will do a short international concert run this summer, but felt a long global tour wasn’t the right fit at this stage. By planting roots in Las Vegas for a few weeks, she can perform for fans from around the world who come to her, rather than traveling city to city. The title Up All Night Live hints at the show’s party atmosphere – expect late-night glamour and full-throttle performances that capture the superstar’s onstage charisma. Lopez’s previous Vegas show was renowned for its high production value (think dazzling sequins, aerial dancers, and a remix megamix of hits), and insiders say her new residency will raise the bar even higher. “There’s nowhere like Vegas for a show,” Lopez said. “It’s going to be an electric, once-in-a-lifetime experience every night!”
Fans eager to see J.Lo in Vegas should mark their calendars. A special artist presale for Up All Night Live begins June 3 at 10 a.m. PT, where members of Lopez’s fan club and mailing list will get first dibs on seats. Additional presales (including credit card partner and Caesars Rewards members) will follow on June 4. Tickets go on sale to the general public on June 6 at 10 a.m. PT via Ticketmaster. Prices haven’t been officially announced, but given Lopez’s superstar status and the limited number of shows, demand is expected to be sky-high. Caesars Palace representatives recommend fans purchase early or use verified pre-sales to secure their spot. VIP packages – which may include meet-and-greets, premium seating, and exclusive merchandise – will also be available for those looking to upgrade their experience. With the announcement already generating buzz across social media, it’s clear that Jennifer Lopez’s return to Las Vegas is one of the hottest tickets of the upcoming year. Local tourism officials are thrilled, noting that Lopez’s residency will further cement Las Vegas as a premier destination for live entertainment. As Lopez herself summed it up, “I can’t wait to share this new show with all of you. Vegas, here we come – let’s get loud!”
