Zayn Malik Opens Las Vegas Residency With Live Debuts and New-Album Tease

The run serves as a live preview for his next record via an on-site 'Z5' listening booth.

Overview

  • He launched the seven-show engagement at Dolby Live at Park MGM on January 20, with performances continuing through January 31.
  • He premiered multiple unreleased tracks, including Die For Me, Used to the Blues, Fatal and Take Turns, with coverage describing strong crowd reactions.
  • He told the audience a new record is coming "pretty soon," positioning the residency as a rollout moment for his fifth project.
  • He performed deep cuts he had not sung live before, notably She and Drunk from his debut album, in a set designed to keep the focus on the music.
  • He addressed a two-week sinus infection and a dry voice during the opener, kept production stripped-back with an all-female band, and later shared highlights from the first two nights on social media.
