Legendary music stars Barry Manilow, Donny Osmond, and Carlos Santana are tireless workhorses compared to most Las Vegas residency headliners.

Decades have passed since these perennial residency performers had hit records on the charts. Still, they have cemented themselves into the foundation of Vegas entertainment for years to come as they extend their engagements each year with dozens of performances to sold-out crowds.

Manilow has been performing in the International Theater at Westgate Las Vegas for over 20 years since February 2005, and on Sept. 23, 2023, broke Elvis Presley’s record of sold-out shows in the International Theater when he played his 637th sold-out show in the venue.

Barry Manilow schedules 54 residency shows in 2026

The “I Write the Songs” singer’s shows were so popular that Westgate in December 2024 signed Manilow to a lifetime residency in the casino’s 1,582-seat theater. Manilow will continue his Westgate residency into next year with the addition of 54 new dates over 18 weekends in 2026.

Legendary rock star Carlos Santana has headlined a long-running residency on the Las Vegas Strip since 2012, performing over 300 shows to sold-out audiences on his “An Intimate Evening with Santana: Greatest Hits Live” residency in the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.

Santana performs his final residency show for 2025 on Nov. 16, but will return in 2026, as he has signed on for 15 new shows scheduled for Jan. 21-Feb. 1 and May 13-24, 2026.

Donny Osmond adds 70 shows to residency

Iconic 1970s pop star Donny Osmond, who began performing his “Donny” residency at Harrah’s Showroom at Harrah’s Las Vegas in August 2021, in September added another 70 shows to his engagement from Jan. 27 through May 30, 2026.

Long-running residencies are beginning to occupy the newest and most spectacular concert venue in Sin City, Sphere Las Vegas.

Sphere opened Sept. 29, 2023, with superstar rock band U2’s U2/UV Achtung Baby Live at the Sphere residency, which ran for 40 shows and closed on March 2, 2024.

Dead & Company holds Sphere residency record

Dead & Company performed its “Dead Forever Live at Sphere” residency at Sphere, setting a record for most performed shows at the venue with 48 shows from May 16, 2024, to May 17, 2025.

That record will fall next year as another superstar band will surpass Dead & Company’s number of performances in 2026.

Eagles add shows to Sphere residency

Legendary rock band Eagles launched its sold-out residency at Sphere Las Vegas on Sept. 20, 2024, and will break the record for most shows performed at Sphere on Feb. 20, 2026, with 49 shows. The band is set to perform three more shows on Feb. 21, Feb. 27, and Feb. 28 for a total of 52.

Sphere’s promoters have said Eagles can perform at the venue for as long as they choose, and so far, they are taking advantage of that invitation.

By popular demand, Sphere Las Vegas has added four final Eagles shows for 2026 on March 20, 21, 27, and 28, for a total of 56 performances in the residency.

“To date, the residency has attracted more than 700k fans across 44 sold-out shows since September 20, 2024, offering fans the ultimate connection to the band’s legendary catalog in an immersive experience that only Sphere can provide,” Sphere said in a Nov. 10 statement.

The band has 12 residency shows scheduled for 2026.
