Last year, artists Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak released the Album Silk Sonic collaborating in a band under the same name. The duo started their partnership in 2017 after .Paak opened for Mars’ 24k Magic Tour. Silk Sonic is a blast from the past with music styled after old school R&B. Each song was written to be performed live as the 9 song track was already in the works before the pandemic began in 2020, shutting down live entertainment for a time. During the pandemic, .Paak and Mars were still dedicated to bringing Silk Sonic to the world and released the album, An Evening With Silk Sonic, on November 12, 2021. 

To fan’s anticipation, the band recently announced a 25 show residency in Las Vegas at Park MGM starting late February through May. Presale tickets for the events went on sale on January 19 and general tickets were available on the 21st. Prices range from $200-to $900 and tickets are still available for purchase on Ticket Master, the official seller listed on the group’s website.

“Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak are bringing their Seventies soul to Las Vegas for An Evening with Silk Sonic. The newly announced residency is currently slated to run for [25] dates from Feb. 25 through [May 29] at Park MGM’s Dolby Live,” writes Larisha Paul of Rolling Stones.

Covid protocols will be in full effect for the shows and in purchasing tickets concert-goers must agree to follow all protocols in place including wearing a mask whether vaccinated or not, and may include providing vaccination status or proof of a negative covid test.

Ticket Master notifies guests, “CDC guidance and requirements set forth by the State of Nevada, masks are required for all guests and employees in all inside public spaces, regardless of vaccination status. In the best interest of fans and staff, the Event Organizer is monitoring local COVID-19 trends and will meet or exceed local mandates. By purchasing tickets to this event, you agree to abide by the health and safety measures in effect at the time of the event, which may include, but not be limited to, wearing masks, providing proof of vaccination status, and/or providing proof of negative COVID-19 test.” 

Each concert has a capacity of 5,200 people and tickets have been going fast. .Paak and Mars have performed live at a few awards shows including the BET Awards, AMA’s, and IHeart Radio Awards, which gives a look at what a live concert from Silk Sonic will look like.
