Early Thursday morning, the Oklahoma resident said People that he is following in his wife Gwen’s footsteps and looking forward to hosting a residency of his own.
“It’s been going on for years, and ever since the idea of opening an Ole Red in Las Vegas first came up, this conversation has been going on as well,” he told the outlet, referring to his live music bar.
The country icon continued, “If you want to have a stake in Las Vegas, you have to do a residency if you’re an artist. I just put it off because I wanted the Ole Red to be open before I did it.”
He also indicated that he would be performing at his country bar in between shows.
“While I’m there for my residency, I might jump on that stage at Ole Red one night,” he said.
Blake admitted in 2021 that he attended 15 or 16 shows during his wife Gwen’s residency and even picked up a mic to sing the duet Happy Anywhere with her.
He also said that his good friend Garth Brooks played a major role in inspiring him to take the stage in Las Vegas.
“He played songs that he loved as a kid and that made him fall in love with music. I don’t want to just rip anyone off, but I think it’s fun to do something that you wouldn’t normally see on tour,” the Ol’ Red singer added.
“So I have to figure out what that is, and now I’m going to think about how it would be different than something I would do on tour,” he said.

As for the songs the hitmaker will perform during his stay in Sin City, he said they aren’t songs that will disappoint fans.
“I don’t want people to come out of my shows thinking, ‘Shit man, he didn’t do Austin,’ or ‘I wanted to hear God’s Country.'”
Fans were overjoyed at his announcement, writing: ‘I’m going to fly all over the world to see you and celebrate my birthday.’ Another added: ‘Colosseum fit for a king! Excited!’
