Shania Twain has announced the last nine shows of her “Come On Over” residency at Planet Hollywood’s PH Live.

The country superstar, who’s celebrating the 25th anniversary of her “Come On Over” album, has been a Las Vegas mainstay since her 2012 residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Her new and final shows are January 22, 24, 25, 29, and 31; and February 1, 5, 7, and 8. They all go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday, September 7 through Ticketmaster.com.

Giddying Up Outta Here

Don’t expect the second annual Giddy Up Music Festival to take place next year. That’s because the first one won’t even take place.

“There’s nothing we would love more than to ride through the festival gates with you this October, but unfortunately, we can no longer move forward with Giddy Up Las Vegas Music Festival 2024,” organizers posted on Instagram on Monday, a month before opening day.

No reason was given for the cancellation.

Lynyrd Skynyrd, Megan Moroney, and the Turnpike Troubadours had been advertised as headliners. But it had been anticipated even more for being the first Las Vegas country music festival since the Route 91 Harvest shooting in 2017.

Giddy Up was set to take place from October 18-20 at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center. Instead, refunds will automatically be issued within 7-10 business days at the point of purchase.

Boyz II Mend

Boyz II Men staged a surprise reunion at the second-to-last show of their Cosmopolitan residency.

They didn’t sing with rarely seen former member Michael McCary, who left the fold 21 years ago due to health issues that were eventually diagnosed as multiple sclerosis. But the original foursome appeared on stage together on Friday, August 30, and McCary even teased a full reunion tour.

“There will be another day that we’ll all be onstage together, trust me,” McCary told the hysterical Chelsea Theater audience, according to People magazine. “It’s coming, and I love these guys.”

Since McCary’s departure, the group has been singing as a trio (Nathan Morris, Wanyá Morris, and Shawn Stockman).
