The Black Eyed Peas have canceled their Las Vegas residencyscheduled to start on February 15 at Planet Hollywood’s PH Live.
Online speculation that the residence was undersold has circulated for months, although the group, which consists of Will.i.amApl.de.ap and Taboo, explained on social media that the cancellation was due to “current circumstances”.
“To our dearest Peabodies,” the group wrote on Instagram Stories, “It is with a heavy heart that, in light of current circumstances, our Las Vegas shows will not go ahead as planned. Ticket providers will issue full refunds automatically. Hold look out for updates on future performances by following us – we can’t wait to see you again.”
Ticketmaster indicates that all performances for “Black Eyed Peas: 3008—The Vegas Residency” has been cancelled. The trio were set to play 15 shows at the venue, with three rounds of dates spanning from February to May.
Amount has reached out to Black Eyed Peas representatives for further comment.
The Black Eyed Peas originally announced the September 2024 residency, claiming it will elevate their forward-thinking aesthetic. “Our first residency in Las Vegas gives the Black Eyed Peas the opportunity to do what we do best, dream up something completely new and creative that pushes the boundaries of the live show experience,” said Will.i.am. “We’re taking inspiration from Disney rides, Las Vegas shows, concerts, AI and technology. We’re going to reinvent how we perform, create an interactive show, a journey to 3008 that’s both a concert and a play. I can’t wait that the world will see what we cook in Las Vegas.”
The group last released their 2022 album ‘Elevation’ which led to a tour the following year. Last May they released “Tonight” featuring El Alfa featuring Becky G as part of the “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” soundtrack.
