Christina Aguilera to settle in Vegas for 16 shows from May

Christina Aguilera becomes the latest in a string of stars to say that they will be settling in on the Las Vegas Strip. The actor will be performing at the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood for 16 shows, starting May 31 and continuing in intervals through October 5, reported Variety.

Titled ‘The Xperience’, it is set for a venue that is currently playing host to alternating residencies by the Backstreet Boys and Gwen Stefani. Aguilera recently toured the US with her first American tour in 10 years, supporting the album ‘Liberation.’ She’s promising her stay in Vegas will be a completely different, “mind-blowing theatrical experience.”

Variety reported that the singer made the announcement on Tuesday’s edition of ‘Ellen’, where Aguilera told the talk show host that the move has been in “talks for quite a few years now,” adding that the residency will “be a little easier with the kids.” A tweet described the show as “a multisensory escape to a world of magic and total freedom.”
