Alex Warren, the singer whose breakout hit “Ordinary” turned him from TikTok personality into one of pop music's biggest new names, will headline The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for two shows on December 30 and 31, 2026, ringing in the new year on one of the Las Vegas Strip's most storied stages. Tickets go on sale Friday, September 18, through Ticketmaster.
The engagement, announced by Live Nation and reported by KSNV, marks Warren's arrival at a venue with serious pedigree. The Colosseum was built in 2003 at a cost of $108 million to launch Celine Dion's original residency, and it now seats 4,100 people beneath a 22,450-square-foot stage, according to Wikipedia.
Warren's path to that stage started far from arena marquees. Before signing with Atlantic Records in August 2022, he built his following as a co-founder of the TikTok content collective The Hype House between 2019 and 2022, and he has since accumulated billions of career streams. He has also spoken about experiencing homelessness as a teen and losing both of his parents at a young age.
A Record-Setting Single Fuels the Booking
The commercial engine behind Warren's rise is “Ordinary,” a track from one of his albums. The track spent a record-breaking 16 non-consecutive weeks atop Billboard's Pop Airplay chart, according to Wikipedia. The song also topped the UK Singles Chart for 13 weeks, and his debut album appeared at No. 1 on the UK Official Albums Chart.
That momentum carried into 2026. The iHeartRadio Music Awards took place in March. Warren's Grammy nomination for Best New Artist followed earlier in 2026.
New Album and a Cross-Country Tour
Warren released his newest album the previous month, following his debut *You'll Be Alright, Kid*, which had debuted in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200. That debut album featured chart collaborations with Jelly Roll and ROSÉ of Blackpink, according to the same Caesars announcement.
He kicked off his Finding Family on the Road Tour at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena in May, and made guest appearances with Ed Sheeran and Jelly Roll, according to the Business Wire release detailing his live schedule. Warren also performed on the 2025 American Music Awards broadcast, the release notes, rounding out a year that has kept him constantly on stage.
Capping Caesars Palace's Anniversary Year
The New Year's Eve booking arrives as Caesars Palace closes out its 60th anniversary year. The resort opened on August 5, 1966, and has spent 2026 marking the milestone with retro-inspired dining, international pop-ups like Barcelona's Sips cocktail bar, and headline entertainment across the property, as Hoodline previously reported. The property spans the Las Vegas Strip.
Warren's shows will land amid one of the busiest nights of the year in Las Vegas. The Strip closes to vehicle traffic for the city's “America's Party” New Year's Eve celebration. America's Party is the city's New Year's Eve celebration. The night is capped by a midnight fireworks display.
The Colosseum has hosted its share of high-profile New Year's Eve turns before, including Jennifer Lopez's residency stop covered by Hoodline in a piece detailing her own New Year's Eve residency show. But Warren's booking stands out as a case of a digital-native artist commanding a stage long associated with legacy Vegas residencies, a shift that has accelerated as his streaming and chart numbers have piled up.
