Rod Stewart: The Hits was a concert residency performed by singer Rod Stewart at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas which began in August 2011 ^[1] and is scheduled to continue through August 2024. ^[2]

Background

Rod Stewart signed on for a two-year residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, commencing on August 24, 2011. ^{[3] [4]} Performing his greatest hits, the residency also saw him perform selected tracks from his upcoming, untitled blues album. ^[4] Stewart said the show will be "90 percent songs that people know," including "Maggie May," "The First Cut Is the Deepest" and "You're In My Heart." The songs were performed at the Colosseum when he played at the 4,100-seat venue in November.

"It's a rock 'n' roll show," Stewart told Billboard , "We'll try to give the people what they want, which are the songs that made me famous, plus a few surprises. There won't be any magicians or midgets, just a good rock show." ^[4]
