The Plus ONE Residency Wrapped After Two Record-Breaking Years
Garth Brooks closed his Plus ONE residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on March 9, 2025, capping a 72-show run that sold 99% of available tickets. The residency launched May 18, 2023, grossed more than $130 million, and drew over 300,000 fans into the 4,300-seat theater. Brooks is the best-selling solo albums artist in U.S. history, with nine Diamond-certified records and over 170 million albums sold worldwide. For country shows in Las Vegas, he set a benchmark that reshaped how the Strip programs headliner residencies.
How Plus ONE Changed the Colosseum Residency Model
Brooks built the show around a concept most residencies avoid: no two nights the same. Each performance opened with solo acoustic covers, sometimes Bob Seger’s “Against the Wind,” sometimes Keith Whitley’s “Don’t Close Your Eyes,” before the red curtain behind him lifted to reveal a 13-piece band with two drummers, fiddle, and steel guitar. Trisha Yearwood joined most nights as a recurring guest. Brooks rotated setlists so heavily that repeat attendees reported hearing less than half the same songs on a return visit.
He called the format “Plus One,” referring to his band, though he told audiences it could just as easily be “Plus 4,000,” meaning every person in the room. Demand pushed the residency from an initial block of shows in May 2023 to 72 total performances across five runs through early 2025. Every presale sold out within the first day of availability.
What Comes Next for Garth Brooks and the Colosseum
Brooks has not announced new Las Vegas dates. His 2026 calendar currently includes two Summerfest shows in Milwaukee on June 16 and 17, plus a headline set at London’s Hyde Park on June 27 with Ashley McBryde and Zac Brown Band as special guests. On his official site, Brooks says “new music, new dates, and endless possibilities” are ahead, calling 2026 a year where “nothing’s off the table.” Given his pattern of announcing Las Vegas returns on short lead times, another Colosseum run remains possible but unconfirmed.
The Las Vegas concert schedule at the Colosseum stays packed. Blake Shelton performs eight country residency dates this month, with seats from $112. Rod Stewart returns May 27 for encore shows marking 15 years at the venue, with tickets from $76. Kelly Clarkson launches her Studio Sessions summer residency on July 17, from $89.
What This Means for Your Vegas Trip
If you planned a trip hoping to catch Garth, the Colosseum still delivers country music at a high level. Blake Shelton’s residency runs through late May, Rod Stewart’s encore dates close out the month, and the venue books headliners year-round without long gaps between acts. Beyond the Colosseum, the Strip runs over 90 shows nightly across every genre and price point. Jerry Seinfeld performs regularly at Caesars Palace from $123, and Nikki Glaser and David Spade take the Colosseum stage May 22 and 23, from $73.
