Lady Gaga makes an epic return to the Las Vegas Strip with her Jazz + Piano residency
Gaga brought back her Dolby Live at Park MGM residency for another run in 2024, debuting a new look and adding a song to her setlist she had not performed live since 2013.
Lady Gaga returned to the Las Vegas Strip in 2024 for another run of her "Jazz + Piano" residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM, the theater that has hosted the show since her residency arrangement with the venue began. The 2024 leg ran from June 19 through July 6, an eight-show run, according to coverage tracking the residency.
The show pairs songs from the Great American Songbook with jazz-styled reworkings of Gaga's own pop hits, including "Poker Face," "Paparazzi," "Bad Romance," "Born This Way" and "Stupid Love," according to reporting on the residency's setlist. Coverage of Gaga's overall residency history at Dolby Live varied on the total show count: one report tracking the "Jazz + Piano" production specifically put her at 48 performances of that show since 2019, while a separate report describing her combined run of both "Enigma" and "Jazz + Piano" productions at the venue — dating to December of an earlier year — put the combined total at 72 shows across both productions.
The 2024 leg followed an earlier run of the same "Jazz + Piano" show that took place August 31 through October 5, 2023, according to coverage of the residency's history, making the June 2024 dates a return to the Strip after a break rather than a brand-new production.
A refreshed show
For the 2024 run, Gaga debuted a new black-and-blonde wig and a revamped wardrobe, and added "Americano" to the setlist — marking its first live performance since 2013, according to coverage of the shows.
What Gaga said about coming back
When we come back, and we hope you'll come back, we'll have a brand new show for you!
Gaga made that comment from the stage during the July 5 show, the second-to-last date of the run, teasing a future Las Vegas engagement without giving a specific timeline, according to coverage of the performance. She also suggested the possibility of pop-focused performances down the road.
A residency built for the long run
Coverage of the Dolby Live partnership separately quoted MGM Resorts International's Executive Vice President of Entertainment, Chris Baldizan, discussing the residency's trajectory beyond 2024: "It's doubtful she will be back in 2025 at Dolby. We are thrilled to host her at T-Mobile in July and look forward to hopefully welcoming her back to Dolby in 2026," Baldizan said, according to that reporting — indicating MGM viewed the 2024 dates as part of an ongoing, multi-year relationship with Gaga rather than a closed engagement.
What the residency's staying power signals
Gaga's repeated returns to the same Dolby Live stage across multiple years place her among the artists who have used a jazz-and-piano format — distinct from a pop arena show — to sustain a recurring Las Vegas engagement, adding new material and styling with each run rather than treating the residency as a one-off, even as her touring schedule elsewhere pulled her away from the venue in between legs.
