What are the biggest Las Vegas concerts in November 2026?
November’s concert schedule includes arena performances, smaller venue shows and major residencies.
Journey is scheduled to perform at MGM Grand Garden Arena on Friday, November 27. The Jonas Brothers follow at the same venue on Saturday, November 28, giving visitors two major arena concerts on consecutive nights.
Brad Paisley is scheduled for performances at the Encore Theater on November 6 and 7. His smaller theater setting offers a different experience from a large arena concert, with the focus more directly on the performer.
The Amity Affliction is also scheduled to perform at Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas on November 22. Brooklyn Bowl is located at The LINQ Promenade and combines a concert venue with bowling and dining.
Which artists are playing at the Las Vegas Sphere?
The Sphere is one of the major concert venues in Las Vegas, and November’s schedule includes performances from Metallica and The Eagles.
Metallica’s Sphere performances use the venue’s large-format screen and immersive production alongside the band’s live performance. The Eagles are also scheduled for performances as part of their Las Vegas residency.
If you are buying Sphere tickets, remember that the seating location affects both the concert view and how much of the screen you can see. Lower sections can provide a closer view of the performers, while higher sections can give you a broader perspective of the venue’s immersive visuals.
Check the specific event seating map before buying because views can vary by section.
Which other Las Vegas residencies are running in November?
The Sphere is not the only place to find established Las Vegas headliners.
Carlos Santana is scheduled to perform at House of Blues Las Vegas inside Mandalay Bay. The venue provides a more traditional concert setting than the large arenas and immersive Sphere.
Barry Manilow continues his Las Vegas residency at Westgate Las Vegas Resort. His performances are held at the International Theater, a long-running Las Vegas showroom.
For comedy and variety entertainment, November also includes shows such as Jeff Dunham, Shin Lim and Penn & Teller, subject to their individual November schedules.
Because residency schedules can change, check the official venue or artist website for the exact performance date before making travel plans.
What sporting events are happening in Las Vegas in November?
Two major sporting events stand out on the November calendar.
The PBR Team Series Championship is scheduled for November 6–8 at T-Mobile Arena. The event brings professional bull riding to the Las Vegas Strip and can increase demand around the arena and nearby hotels.
Later in the month, the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix is scheduled for November 19–21. The race uses a street circuit around the Las Vegas Strip, so visitors should expect changes to normal traffic patterns and pedestrian access in the surrounding area.
If you are visiting during race week, allow extra time for transportation. Road restrictions and event infrastructure can make trips around the Strip take longer than usual.
Are there Broadway musicals and immersive shows in November?
Las Vegas offers more than concerts and sporting events. The Smith Center for the Performing Arts presents theater and touring productions throughout the year, with individual November performances depending on the 2026 schedule.
The Sphere is also home to immersive entertainment such as The Wizard of Oz on selected dates. The production combines the film with the venue’s large screen and other immersive effects.
For a traditional Las Vegas production, Cirque du Soleil continues to offer shows including O at Bellagio and Mystère at Treasure Island. Absinthe at Caesars Palace provides an adults-orientated combination of comedy, acrobatics and variety entertainment.
