Mary J. Blige adds 10 Park MGM dates

Mary J. Blige has added 10 dates to her “My Life, My Story” Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM, extending the run through October 2026, according to Park MGM’s event listing and ticketing updates. The added shows come after MGM Resorts announced the singer’s first Las Vegas residency in January with an initial 10-date run scheduled for May and July. The expansion brings the total to 20 performances at the 5,200-seat venue inside Park MGM. Ticketmaster’s event page for the added shows said general ticket sales began on May 11. ### Which dates were added to the residency? Park MGM’s event page lists the new performances for August 28-29, September 2, 5-6, and October 23-24, 28, 30-31. Those dates extend the residency beyond the original May 1-9 and July 10-18 run announced by MGM Resorts on January 12. The venue listing shows all performances beginning at 8 p.m., with doors opening at 7 p.m. (parkmgm.mgmresorts.com) The added dates were also reflected in follow-up coverage published in May, including reports that described the extension as Blige’s first Las Vegas residency continuing into the fall. Park MGM’s listing is the clearest venue-level confirmation of the full schedule now on sale. ### How does this change the original Park MGM plan? (parkmgm.mgmresorts.com) MGM Resorts said in January that “Mary J. Blige: My Life, My Story The Las Vegas Residency” would begin on May 1, 2026, with 10 dates through July. In that original announcement, Blige said she had “always wanted” to create a Vegas residency and described the show as a way for fans from different places to “experience something together.” (kwine.com) The 10 new dates effectively double the residency’s size from the initial plan. Ticket listings and venue materials now show a two-leg structure: the first set in May and July, and the second set in late August, early September and late October. ### Where are the shows being staged? Dolby Live at Park MGM is the host venue for all 20 dates, according to MGM Resorts and Park MGM’s event page. (newsroom.mgmresorts.com) MGM Resorts described Dolby Live as a 5,200-seat entertainment venue when it announced the residency in January. Las Vegas has remained a core market for residency programming across major Strip venues, and Blige’s booking places her inside one of MGM Resorts’ main concert theaters. (parkmgm.mgmresorts.com) Park MGM’s listing identifies the residency under the full name “Mary J. Blige: My Life, My Story The Las Vegas Residency.” ### What do ticket listings say about access and sales? (newsroom.mgmresorts.com) Ticketmaster’s help page for the residency says the general sale for the added dates started on Monday, May 11, 2026, at 10 a.m. local venue time, with a ticket limit of eight. Park MGM’s box office page also carries the updated calendar and showtime information for the added dates. (parkmgm.mgmresorts.com) The original January rollout included a presale sequence through Citi Entertainment, artist presales, MGM Rewards, Live Nation and Ticketmaster before the first public on-sale for the initial dates. MGM Resorts did not appear in the available materials reviewed here to publish a new standalone press release for the added fall dates, but the venue and ticketing pages now reflect the expanded run.

Blige’s next listed residency performances are May 1, 2, 6, 8 and 9, followed by July 10, 11, 15, 17 and 18, according to Park MGM.
