Cultural Icon, Jay “Jeezy” Jenkins, officially announces his highly anticipated 2026 Las Vegas residency, The Legend of the Snowman, returning to PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, right on the Las Vegas Strip. 10 dates were just announced! The residency debuted Friday, May 1, 2026, and every single night will be a Black Tie Experience.
A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND ANNOUNCEMENT
The residency was unveiled on March 18, 2026, at Chris Witherspoon’s, founder & CEO of PopViewers, Vibes & Views series, where a highly curated room of guests received the very first look at the residency’s movie-style trailer. The moment marked a historic milestone: Jeezy is the first music artist ever to be featured at a Vibes & Views event, a series traditionally reserved exclusively for major film and television rollouts. The distinction signals the elevated, cinematic scope of The Legend of the Snowman and positions this residency as more than a concert, it is a full cultural event.
THE EXPERIENCE
Building on the sold-out success of his 2025 Las Vegas residency, Jeezy raises the stakes in 2026. Last year’s run celebrated the 20th Anniversary of Thug Motivation 101, performing the landmark album in full. This year, the set list expands even further, pulling deeper from one of hip-hop’s most iconic catalogs, with new surprises audiences will not see coming.
Jeezy’s hits are symphonically reimagined, transforming beloved records into a cinematic, large-scale live experience built specifically for the Vegas stage. At the center of the show, The Color of Noize Orchestra returns, bringing orchestral power and emotional depth to every performance.The orchestral experience is composed and conducted by Derrick Hodge, with Adam Blackstone returning as Musical Director, ensuring world-class musical precision and production from the first note to the last.
GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS
LEGACY
Jeezy’s last Las Vegas residency was not just sold out, it was history-making. He set the Guinness World Record for the largest orchestra for a hip-hop music concert in the world with a 101 piece ensemble, a record that speaks directly to his commitment to elevating hip-hop, expanding the boundaries of live performance, and creating “only in Vegas” cultural moments that no other artist has delivered. The Legend of the Snowman is the next chapter of that legacy.
Tickets available at Ticketmaster and via Jeezy’s official website www.legendofthesnowman.com.
