K-pop superstar Lisa, who is part of the genre's biggest girl group BLACKPINK, is set to make Las Vegas history in November with her upcoming residency 'VIVA LA LISA' at Caesars Palace. She will perform four-shows during her limited engagement, which will be the first K-pop headlining residency on the Strip.

The shows will span two weekends: Nov. 13 and 14 and Nov. 27 and 28, 2026. Fans who want to see her Vegas shows can sign up for presale tickets on Ticketmaster starting Wednesday, April 1, at 10 a.m. PT through Sunday, April 19, at 10 a.m. Presale access opens on April 22 at 10 a.m. PT, and general sale begins on Thursday, April 23 at 10 a.m. PT.

Landing a residency at the Colosseum is no easy feat, especially for an international artist. The venue at the iconic casino has hosted some of the biggest names in entertainment, including Celine Dion, Adele, and Jennifer Lopez. Lisa's booking is a significant milestone for Caesars, which is finally tapping into the massive loyal K-pop fanbase.

Lisa, whose real name is Lalisa Manoban, made a name for herself as a fierce rapper, singer, and dancer in BLACKPINK. The group just wrapped up their sold-out DEADLINE World Tour, which hit 15 different stadiums across North America, Europe, and Asia.

Apart from her girl group, she has built a fanbase of her own. Her debut solo album, Alter Ego, hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart and reached No. 7 on the Billboard 200.

Lisa holds multiple Guinness World Records, including the most Instagram followers for a K-pop artist at 106 million, and became the first solo K-pop artist to win at both the MTV Video Music Awards and the MTV Europe Music Awards. 

She has also collaborated with other artists, including Doja Cat, RAYE, and the GRAMMY-winning Latin artist Rosalía. Lisa has also performed at events like Coachella and the Victoria’s Secret runway show. On top of that, Lisa recently ventured into acting with her role as “Mook” in HBO’s TV show The White Lotus.

The residency announcement follows K-pop's continued expansion across the world. Earlier this year, BTS announced that they would perform four shows in May at Allegiant Stadium as part of their world tour. Their shows in Vegas in 2022 sold out consistently and drew massive crowds, so Lisa's shows may take that even further, shaking up the usual residency model long dominated by legacy artists and pop superstars.
