If you are a baccarat player and a fan of the Black Eyed Peas, then there is good news. February 2025 looks as if it will be the perfect time to take a break from the online baccarat tables and try your luck in Las Vegas instead, as the band has announced a 15-date Las Vegas residency, “Black Eyed Peas: 3008 The Las Vegas Residency.”

The residency begins on February 15, 2025, at PH Live at Planet Hollywood and the band will be performing on the following dates:

  • February 15, 16, 19, 21, 22
  • March 21, 22, 26, 28, 29
  • May 24, 25, 28, 30, 31

Speaking about the upcoming Black Eyed Peas’ Vegas residency, band member will.i.am said:

“Our first residency in Las Vegas gives Black Eyed Peas the opportunity to do what we do best, to dream up something brand new and creative that pushes the boundaries of the live show experience. We draw inspiration from Disney rides, Las Vegas shows, concerts, AI and technology. We will reinvent how we perform, creating an interactive show, a journey to 3008 that is both a concert and play. I can’t wait for the world to see what we cook up in Las Vegas.”

A New AI Band Member

While the line-up of the band has changed over the years, a brand-new member is due to make an appearance in Vegas. Together with will.i.am, Apple de Ap, Taboo and J. Rey Soul will be Vida, an AI presence that is programmed to simulate human experience.

Speaking to USA Today, will.i.am explained:

“We predicted this in 2009 with ‘The E.N.D.’ album and the avatar personality in the video and the character on our album cover. When I was running around the projects as a kid in L.A. and Apple was running around in the Philippines, to think that we would have the first AI member of a globally recognized urban pop-hip-hop group … man.”

He went on to say that it won’t be a hologram; rather, the members of the group will be patched into Vida, as will the stagehands and the audience, allowing them to communicate. Will.i.am added, “J. Rey will have songs with Vida, and Vida will be singing. Taboo and I will be rapping and singing, and so will Vida.”

As such, he thinks it will be the most interactive pre, during and post-show experience possible.

VIP Ticket Packages

Tickets are currently on sale for the concerts, and there are a number of different packages available, such as the Premium Group Table Package, which accommodates up to six people and comes with a bottle of champagne, dedicated drinks service throughout the show, and access through a dedicated VIP entrance.

Tickets for the Black Eyed Peas Vegas concerts start at around $79 and go up to $400. It is also possible to buy tickets for a pre-show reception and for VIP access. While there are still plenty of tickets available, the shows are expected to sell out in advance, so it is worth booking soon.

Who Are the Black Eyed Peas?

For nearly thirty years, the Black Eyed Peas have been at the forefront of music innovation, creating a sound that brings together multiple styles and genres such as hip-hop, pop, electro, and global rhythms. The band was formed in Los Angeles in 1995, and the core trio of will.i.am, Apl.de.Ap and Taboo have consistently evolved while leaving an undeniable impact on the international music scene.

Their rise to stardom came with albums such as Elephunk (2003) and The E.N.D. (2009), which cemented their place among the biggest names in music. The group has won six GRAMMY Awards and sold millions of records worldwide, with hits such as “Where Is The Love?”, “I Gotta Feeling”, and “Boom Boom Pow”. The Black Eyed Peas have also become one of the top groups in terms of digital sales.

In 2020, the band ventured into Latin music with their album TRANSLATION, collaborating with stars such as J Balvin on the smash hit “RITMO”, which garnered over a billion streams. The success continued in 2022 with their ninth album, ELEVATION, featuring popular tracks such as “SIMPLY THE BEST” with Anitta and El Alfa and “BAILAR CONTIGO” with Daddy Yankee.

In June 2024, the group contributed to the soundtrack of Bad Boys: Ride Or Die, which was the first time that they had been involved in a major movie project. They have performed across Europe and North America, playing to full houses in iconic venues such as Paris’s La Défense Arena.
