General sale tickets will be available starting Sept. 7 at 10 a.m., and Caesars Rewards members and Live Nation and Ticketmaster customers will also have access to a presale on Sept.
Citicard members will have access to presale tickets beginning on Sept. Among the ways one of the cities’ famed casinos plans to bounce back is by announcing a big new name for a residency-Usher.Īccording to the Las Vegas Sun, the R&B star, known for hits like “Burn,” “U Got It Bad” and “Confessions Part II,” is set to start a Las Vegas residency and headline at the Colosseum at Caesar palace starting on July 16, 2021. I’m not sure how gaudy this one is going to be.Las Vegas seems poised to try and come back in a big way in 2021, after being shut down for a large part of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
But I’m thinking a little bit more classic. Of course, I’m gonna, you know, embellish and accentuate certain things because it is for the stage. It’s a little bit of New Orleans, early Atlanta. This new world is a little bit of the Harlem Renaissance. We’re getting ready to do another show at an entirely different venue, and it’s an entirely different experience. Now, I want you to know this is all retro. There’s a boot cut to it that helps the shoe look really, really cool. Mike Amiri does a really good job of taking classic suit silhouettes. We’re inside Ush City, and this is a double-breasted all-leather Mike Amiri suit with a studded mesh tank top by Ami. And thank God I had Savage x Fenty to dress the ladies because her lingerie played an incredible role in the overall fashion story. I think I’m the only dude wearing shades in the club. You see that Chrome Hearts drip on my hands, on my neck. It was a matter of me thinking: if Michael has been a king, and Prince has been a king, and Whitney Houston has been a queen, where does Usher exist in that conversation?" I sent him this photo of Whitney Houston in her “Queen of the Night” look and Michael in things that were very glittery. I reached out to Olivier, and we had conversations about Prince, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and the fact that they were timeless in their live wardrobes, and it felt heroic. Around this time, we’re performing “OMG,” “Scream,” “DJ Got Us Fallin’ in Love.” The female dancers had these blonde wigs and accessories that lit up. I felt like I was going to cut myself because the entire jacket is made of fragmented mirror pieces so that when the light hits it, I shine like a mirror ball. It originally came with sleeves-we took the sleeves off. "This is the third look when the show becomes more EDM-centric and futuristic. Usher during his residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. It was also the way he looked and the way it made you feel.” There’s something about that glove from Michael Jackson, those glittery socks. “No, it still matters to spend that time on your wardrobe and make sure there’s excitement to seeing you on stage. “When you think of the ’60s and ’70s-the Commodores, Earth, Wind & Fire, and those bright-ass fucking outfits-people look at that and frown their nose up, like, ‘That was then,’” Usher says. Night after night, audiences saw Usher skate through-as in, literally dancing in roller skates-a catalog of vintage slow jams, EDM hits, and confessional R&B wearing costumes mostly designed by Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing, including a galactic sapphire number and a pink flare-leg suit seemingly blessed by the spirit of James Brown. The 43-year-old started out as a teen heartthrob dancing in chrome ensembles, so the Vegas glitz came naturally. “I was very adamant about being as bold as possible.” “I wanted to try things I’d never done because Vegas is a place where people come to see whimsical shows like Cirque du Soleil,” he says. When Usher started pulling wardrobe references for his 20-date Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace last year, his mood board was a mix of sequins, vibrant shades, and Whitney Houston in “Queen of the Night.” Basically, anything that glittered was up for grabs.
