Sir Rod Just Won't Let This Party End
If you thought Rod Stewart was done with Vegas, think again. The legendary rasp behind Maggie May and Forever Young just tacked six brand new performances onto his Encore Shows run at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, landing August 18, 20, 22, 25, 27, and 29 of this year. For a guy who first set up shop on the Strip back in 2011, this is basically a victory lap that refuses to slow down.
The new dates follow a spring run in May and June, and they slot right into the sweet spot of a Vegas summer that is finally starting to cool below the triple digits at night. Doors open for a 7:30 p.m. curtain, which leaves plenty of runway for a proper pre-show meal and a cocktail before the house lights dim.
Here at The Hangar LV we love this kind of story because it is exactly the vibe we chase every week: a legacy artist who still shows up hungry, a packed house, and a city that never stops throwing a good party. Come by before the show, we will get you fed and warmed up.
The Resume Behind The Encore
Context matters here. Stewart's original Colosseum residency, branded Rod Stewart: The Hits, ran a jaw dropping thirteen years from 2011 through 2024 and racked up more than 200 performances, pulling in upward of 74 million dollars along the way. That is one of the longest running headliner deals in modern Strip history, up there with the residencies that turned the Colosseum into the gold standard for arena scale intimacy.
When fans kept clamoring for more after the original run wrapped, Caesars and Live Nation brought Stewart back in 2025 under the Encore Shows banner, and the demand clearly has not cooled off, hence this fresh batch of August dates.
The show itself clocks in around 90 minutes with a 12-piece band and backup vocalists, and Stewart reportedly reshuffles the setlist most nights, pulling from a catalog that spans five decades. That kind of night to night variety is a big part of why longtime Vegas showgoers keep coming back for more.
What The Ticket Buys You
The Colosseum seats about 4,100 people, which keeps the room feeling grand without losing the sense that you are close to the stage no matter where you land. Ticket prices for the new dates run from around 76 dollars up to 130 dollars depending on seating tier, with premium and VIP packages available for those who want the full treatment.
For anyone planning a Vegas trip around live music this month, pairing a big arena scale show like this with a smaller, more personal night out is honestly the move. Catch the spectacle at Caesars, then let the night wind down somewhere with character and a great drink menu.
That is basically our whole pitch. We are an aviation themed hangar bar built for exactly this kind of night, whether you are celebrating a milestone birthday, kicking off a bachelorette weekend, or just want a killer spot to recap the show with friends.
Make A Night Of It At The Hangar LV
Rock and roll deserves a proper landing strip, and that is what we built. On residency show nights this August we are running specials at the bar so you can fuel up before the Colosseum doors open or debrief after with a nightcap and some live tunes of our own.
Private events are our sweet spot too. Got a group flying in for the show, or planning a corporate mixer that could use some hangar bar flair? Our event team can lock down a private section with aviation themed decor, a custom drink menu, and room for your whole crew.
Book your event or just come by, we would love to host you before or after Sir Rod takes the stage.
Five Reasons To Grab A Ticket This August
Here is why the new Encore Shows dates are worth building a night around, and how The Hangar LV fits perfectly into the plan.
- A 50-year catalog on rotation: Stewart reportedly shuffles the setlist nightly, so two shows in the same week can feel genuinely different.
- A 12-piece live band: Full horns, backup vocalists, and a production built for a 90-minute set that never drags.
- An intimate room at arena scale: The Colosseum's 4,100 seats keep every view feeling close without sacrificing the big show energy.
- Flexible pricing: Tickets span roughly 76 to 130 dollars, so there is room for both a casual night and a splurge.
- A perfect pre-show hangout: Swing by The Hangar LV first for cocktails and live music of our own before heading to the Strip.
- An easy after party plan: Come back after the encore for a nightcap and to compare notes on the setlist with fellow fans.
