As Aguilera noted in the caption, her Vegas residency at the Venetian’s Voltaire venue starts in 10 (now nine) days, on December 30. The residency currently has 10 dates, including a New Year’s Eve gig. As of now, the Voltaire stand concludes on March 2.

“I look forward to bringing Las Vegas a new show that fuses music, sophistication and art in ways I have never performed before,” Aguilera said of the residency in a statement. “What I love about the intimacy at Voltaire at The Venetian Resort is how up-close-and-personal I can be with the audience… a truly modern twist on the performance experience.”

This marks Aguilera’s second Vegas residency following her 10-month run from from May 2019 to March 2020 at the Zappos Theater. On off nights for Aguilera’s show, the Voltaire will also host Kylie Minogue’s Vegas residency.
