Maxwell Announces Las Vegas Residency 2023 Dates

Maxwell is returning to Las Vegas, Nevada, for a new summer residency, dubbed NIGHT, The Trilogy Show .

The R&B icon will play a three-night residency at Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas . The shows take place on Aug. 9, Aug. 11 and Aug. 12.

Presale tickets for NIGHT, The Trilogy Show go on sale Wednesday, April 5, at 10 a.m. local time, commencing the following day at 10 p.m. local time. All general on-sale tickets go live on Friday, April 7, at 10 a.m. local time.

Maxwell started a three-night residency at Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas in July 2022. The trio of shows continued his successful NIGHT Tour , which first launched in March 2022 with Joe and Anthony Hamilton as special guests.

Following his three-night run in Las Vegas, Maxwell returned to the road for a second leg of his NIGHT Tour . He soon expanded the tour, bringing special guests such as Fantasia, Musiq Soulchild , Joe, Leela James and Ash Minor.

Maxwell’s upcoming residency and his previous headlining tours are building anticipation for his blacksummers’NIGHT , the final album of a trilogy started in 2009.

The album was first planned to be released in 2019 on Columbia Records. “ Shame ,” the then-lead single, reached No. 8 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart, giving Maxwell his 14th top 10 single on the same chart.

Since then, Maxwell has left Columbia Records. He signed a partnership deal with BMG through his imprint Musze .

“I’m looking forward to this next chapter and new partnership with my label Musze/BMG and all that we can accomplish together. The sky is the limit,” Maxwell shared in a statement.

Tim Reid, BMG’s SVP, Repertoire & Marketing, Recorded Music, added , “Maxwell is an iconic creator of culture and we’re pleased to enter into a partnership with he and his company Musze, Inc. We look forward to being an integral part of the expansion of his artistry and brand moving forward.”

Shortly after sharing the partnership news, Maxwell dropped the single “ Off .” The steamy song hit No. 1 on R&B radio and the Adult R&B Airplay list, marking his eighth leader. It spent two weeks atop the last chart.

Meet the Comedians

Wills Maxwell Jr. – Wills Maxwell, Jr. started doing stand-up comedy when he was in 4th grade.

Due to the lack of appreciation, Wills retired from the business and started doing stand-up comedy again after he left high school. Since resuming his comedy career, Wills has won Port City’s Top Comic (Wilmington, NC), was a regional finalist in StandUp NBC, and a finalist at Ultimate Comic Challenge (Greensboro, NC). He also wrote and performed his on-air comedy news segment “What Did We Miss?” on Wilmington TV station WWAY News every Thursday morning for 5 years, totaling over 180 episodes. Wills has performed at the Cola Comedy Convention, the North Carolina Comedy Festival, the Oak City Comedy Festival and the Cape Fear Comedy Festival.  Wills hosted Wilmington’s late-night talk show “Late Fear with Wills Maxwell” for three years. He has also opened for several comedians including Ramy Youssef, Roy Wood Jr., Tim Meadows, and Jim Gaffigan.

Cordero Wilson – Cordero Wilson is a NYC based comedian who grew up a biracial nerd, in the 90s, in small town North Carolina. This sounds like the perfect start of a Netflix show, but you don’t have to wait for the pilot to get this man’s perspective. Through storytelling, singing, and quick fire crowd interaction, Cordero offers his own comedic take on Pop culture, social commentary, observational humor, and tales from the every day struggle of a black nerd. He’s co-creator of the Negro Jump Podcast, preformed for Harlem Comedy Fest, Chicago Nerd Fest, and comedy clubs across the US.

From growing up in Stoneville, NC, to obtaining a master’s degree from UNC, Jordan has a knack for approaching everyday observations and experiences with intelligence, silliness, and a touch of southern that audiences find hilarious and charming.

Jordan has opened for comedians such as George Willborn, Clint Coley, and Samuel J. Comroe.
