Gregory Porter returns to Las Vegas at Virgin Hotels in March

The jazz singer's first Las Vegas show since 2023 is Saturday, March 20, 2027, at The Theater at Virgin Hotels, with Paul Taylor on the bill.

The last time Gregory Porter sang in Las Vegas, it was Aug. 25, 2023, in Reynolds Hall at The Smith Center. His return moves to a different stage. Porter plays The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas on Saturday, March 20, 2027, at 8pm, with Paul Taylor also on the bill. Tickets are through AXS, and the theater holds about 4,500. The show was announced Oct. 12.

Three and a half years is a long gap for a singer whose calendar rarely seems to empty. This one sits inside a long stretch of touring that, by tour listings, started this month and runs into the summer of 2027. Before Vegas, he has a 2026 stop at the Monte-Carlo Jazz Festival. After the U.S. leg, he heads to Britain for a June and July run that, as the Official Charts Company reported, includes three nights at the Royal Albert Hall.

Three nights at the Royal Albert Hall next summer, and a Saturday in Las Vegas first.

What has changed since 2023 is less a new chapter than a look back. In May 2026, Porter marked a decade of *Take Me to the Alley* with a 10th anniversary edition that added a 2026 remix of "Holding On" as a bonus track. It's a reminder of how much of his live show rests on that record and the ones around it. Since the last Las Vegas visit, he has also kept up traditions of his own, like the annual Valentine's evening at Carnegie Hall, which reached its 12th year in February 2026. And his first holiday album, *Christmas Wish*, arrived in 2023, the same year as his previous trip here.

Porter's appeal live is easy to explain and hard to fake. He sits between jazz and soul, with a baritone that fills a room without forcing it, and his shows tend to feel more like a conversation than a performance. That plays well in a theater setting, where the sound can stay warm and the audience can actually hear the band.

The room change is worth noting for anyone who caught him at The Smith Center. Reynolds Hall is a concert hall built for acoustic music. The Theater at Virgin Hotels is a bigger, more flexible space, with room for about 4,500. That's a lot of people for a jazz singer, and a sign of the audience he draws now.

Practical notes: it's an 8pm Saturday start, so plan dinner around it. Paul Taylor is on the bill too, so arrive in time to see the full night.

Las Vegas has had to wait since the summer of 2023. In March, the wait ends on a Saturday night.
