Zayn Malik has announced a week-long residency in Las Vegas in January 2026 at the Dolby Live venue located at the Park MGM Hotel. This exciting news comes after the former One Direction singer previously toured only once since departing the band, during the 'Stairway to the Sky' shows.
Major artists like Adele, Bruno Mars, and Lady Gaga have performed residencies in Las Vegas, and fans are buzzing with speculation that Zayn's announcement could hint at a more extensive return to music, especially since he was recently spotted with former bandmate Louis Tomlinson.
This appearance fueled chatter about possible collaborations or new music. It was notable that it was the first casual meeting of the two since the group's hiatus in 2015, aside from a previous gathering to mourn Liam Payne's passing.
Adding to the excitement, Zayn recently released a new song titled Break Free connected to the video game Borderlands 4. He expressed his passion for gaming and mentioned spending time in front of console games when not working.
The residency announcement came as a surprise, considering Zayn's past struggles with live performances and his openness about dealing with anxiety. However, he has shared insights into overcoming these challenges, especially after the birth of his daughter. Tickets for the Las Vegas shows will go on sale on Friday.
