Lenny Kravitz is gearing up for a milestone birthday and an exciting fall season. As he prepares to release his 12th studio album, “Blue Electric Light,” on Friday, the iconic rocker is also announcing a series of shows in Las Vegas, coinciding with his 60th birthday on May 26.
Las Vegas Show Dates
Kravitz’s “Blue Electric Light Las Vegas” will debut at Dolby Live at Park MGM, with performances scheduled for October 18-19, 23, and 25-26. Tickets will go on sale at 1 p.m. ET Friday via Ticketmaster. Various presales will also be available, including:

First Extended Engagement in Las Vegas
This series of shows marks Kravitz’s first extended engagement in Las Vegas. He last performed there in September at the iHeartRadio Music Festival. The upcoming performances promise to be a significant event for fans eager to see Kravitz in a more intimate and sustained setting.
New Album “Blue Electric Light”
The release of “Blue Electric Light” has been highly anticipated. Kravitz has already dropped two singles from the album: the energetic “TK421” with its vibrant video, and the funky “Human.” Originally slated for release in March, Kravitz postponed the album to May to focus on contributing the song “Road to Freedom” for Netflix’s film “Rustin,” which honors activist Bayard Rustin.
“I have no problem coming second and doing what I needed to do for the legacy of Mr. Rustin,” Kravitz said, reflecting on the importance of the project.
Inspired by the Sphere in Las Vegas
In a recent interview with USA TODAY, Kravitz discussed how watching U2 perform at the Sphere in Las Vegas influenced him. “Any time I see something, I see art and I learn something,” he said. “You learn what you want to do, what you don’t want to do. It gives you ideas and shows you that it’s all the same equipment available; it’s a matter of what you do with it.”
Turning 60: “Never Been Better”
As he approaches his 60th birthday, Kravitz continues to defy age with his dedication to fitness and healthy living. Known for his unique exercise routine that includes working out in leather pants, Kravitz credits his longevity to good genes and a disciplined lifestyle.
“I work out five or six days a week,” he shared. “I’m very serious about my training, about what I put in my body… If you asked me today when were you in the best shape of your life? It’s today, right now. Mentally, physically and spiritually, I’ve never been better.”
Conclusion
Lenny Kravitz’s announcement of his new album and Las Vegas shows, along with his reflections on turning 60, highlight his enduring presence in the music industry. Fans can look forward to experiencing his dynamic performances and new music this fall, celebrating an artist who continues to inspire and innovate.
