Mary J. Blige: My Life, My Story - Her First-Ever Las Vegas Residency

The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul is headed to Sin City. Mary J. Blige has announced her first-ever Las Vegas residency, My Life, My Story, debuting May 1, 2026 at Dolby Live at Park MGM. This landmark 10-show run celebrates over three decades of groundbreaking music, from her debut album What's the 411? to her 2024 release Gratitude. Fresh off her 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction and the wildly successful For My Fans Tour that sold over 270,000 tickets, MJB is ready to deliver an intimate theatrical experience unlike anything she has done before.

A Theatrical Journey Through Her Life and Music

Unlike a traditional concert, My Life, My Story promises a theatrical production that blends live performance with personal storytelling. Mary J. has described the show as featuring actors on stage helping to frame her songs as narrative scenes - a deeply personal journey through the triumphs, struggles, and evolution that have defined her career. Expect hits like "Family Affair," "Real Love," "No More Drama," "Be Without You," and "Not Gon' Cry" alongside tracks from Gratitude, all woven into an unforgettable storytelling experience.
