Styx announces 2025 Las Vegas residency dates

The rockers will host special performances of The Grand Illusion & perform their greatest hits

Classic rockers Styx are already starting to lock in shows for their 2025 tour schedule, which will again include an unforgettable five-night engagement at The Venetian Theatre inside The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. For the first time in their 50-plus career in Las Vegas, Styx will be performing 1977’s The Grand Illusion in its entirety, along with the band’s classic hits. The shows will be held on January 24, 25, 29, 31 and February 1, 2025. All shows are scheduled to begin at 8:30 pm.

Tickets start at $45, plus applicable fees, and will go on sale to the general public on Friday, September 20th at 10 am PT via Ticketmaster and Venetian ticket outlets. Presales start tomorrow (Tues, Sept 17th) at 10 am local time.

The Grand Illusion is the biggest seller in the band’s catalog. It reached No. 6 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart and spawned the smash hits “Come Sail Away,” which reached No. 8 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, and “Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man),” which made it to No. 29. The album has been certified triple platinum by the RIAA, having sold over three million copies to date. It was the first in the band’s groundbreaking string of releasing four multi-platinum albums in a row.

The album’s iconic cover art by Alton Kelley and Stanley Mouse is modeled after Belgian surrealist René Magritte’s 1965 piece titled Le Blanc Seing, aka The Blank Check. “The album’s artwork has stood the test of time,” declares keyboardist/vocalist Lawrence Gowan. “It looks so engaging today, when I see that equestrian image mixed with the forest, the woman’s eyes, and the female face. It’s one of the great icons of rock history, and rock lore. I’m happy to see it continue to be celebrated.”
