Vegas Shakes Up: Calvin Harris Lands Explosive New 2026 Residency!

Scottish producer Calvin Harris is making a significant return to Las Vegas, having secured a two-year residency at Wynn Las Vegas. This highly anticipated engagement will see him perform at the resort's renowned mega-club XS and its vibrant poolside Encore Beach Club. The initial dates for his appearances at XS are set for January 16, February 13, and February 21, with further show dates expected to be announced soon.

This residency marks a full-circle moment for Harris, as his very first Las Vegas residency in 2011 also took place at Wynn Nightlife. That initial stint was pivotal, occurring during and significantly contributing to the era when Electronic Dance Music (EDM) began to redefine and revitalize entertainment on the Las Vegas Strip, transforming the city into a global hub for dance music, a status it continues to hold. Ryan Jones, Vice President of Wynn Nightlife, emphasized the significance of this return, stating, “Calvin Harris is a legend whose influence on music and nightlife is undeniable. This residency reflects Wynn Nightlife’s dedication to curating unforgettable experiences and maintaining our position as the leader in nightlife.”

Prior to this new commitment, Harris held a 2024 residency at the nearby Fontainebleau Las Vegas, where he performed at LIV Las Vegas and LIV Beach. His 2025 schedule in the U.S. has been relatively limited, including a set in Austin, Texas, in May and an appearance at the RISE Festival near Las Vegas in October, making his extensive return to Wynn even more notable.

Calvin Harris is widely recognized as one of the principal architects of the EDM genre and its massive boom. He has released numerous era-defining songs that have left an indelible mark on popular music, including global hits like “We Found Love,” “Feel So Close,” and “One Kiss.” His most recent release, “Blessings” featuring Clementine Douglas, continues to perform strongly, currently sitting at No. 16 on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, where it has maintained a presence for 25 weeks.

Beyond his Las Vegas commitments and limited U.S. dates, Harris's 2025 global touring schedule includes performances at Ushaïa Dubai, the Soundstorm festival in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia’s Jakarta Warehouse Project, and Creamfields Asia, showcasing his continued international appeal.
