The Clark Sisters, Fred Hammond, and Deitrick Haddon Announce Vegas Residency
Gospel music legends The Clark Sisters, Fred Hammond, and Deitrick Haddon are set to headline the groundbreaking ‘Legends of Gospel: Vegas Residency’ at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
A first-of-its-kind residency is bringing together some of gospel’s biggest names. The Clark Sisters, Fred Hammond, and Deitrick Haddon will co-headline the Legends of Gospel: Vegas Residency, a new concert series at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. This historic event marks a significant milestone for the genre, as these iconic artists prepare to bring their powerful ministry to the Las Vegas Strip.
A New Era for Gospel Music
The residency kicks off on October 8 and 9, 2026, with tickets going on sale Friday, July 17. Produced by IKON Presents and show creator Dr. Holly Carter, the multi-date show aims to celebrate the profound legacy and cultural impact of gospel music. Future installments of the series are expected to feature additional luminaries from the genre.
“For years, I have envisioned bringing the Gospel to Las Vegas on this scale,” Dr. Holly Carter shared in a statement. “To now unite legendary artists in a groundbreaking residency is more than a milestone—it’s a moment. And I thank God for it. I finally get to fully step into my creativity and bring this vision to life.”
Legends Take the Stage
The Clark Sisters—Jacky Clark Chisholm, Karen Clark Sheard, Dorinda Clark-Cole, and Twinkie Clark—lead the lineup as the highest-selling female gospel group of all time. Reflecting on the opportunity, the group noted, “After decades of sharing the Gospel through music around the world, it’s a blessing to bring this experience to such an iconic stage. This is more than a concert; it’s a ministry experience.”
They are joined by Fred Hammond, who continues to influence the industry with his praise-and-worship anthems, and Deitrick Haddon, whose innovative blend of gospel, R&B, and hip-hop brings a contemporary edge to the residency. Haddon expressed his excitement, stating, “This is a big moment for Gospel and a great moment to bring in new audiences!”
While this residency represents a modern shift, it also honors the history of gospel in Las Vegas, following in the footsteps of pioneers like Clara Ward and The Ward Singers, who performed at iconic venues throughout the 1960s. The Legends of Gospel: Vegas Residency promises to be a transformative experience, bridging the past, present, and future of the genre.
