The Black Eyed Peas have canceled their Las Vegas residency, originally set to begin in February 2025 at PH Live in Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The announcement was made Sunday via Instagram Stories, where the group cited "current circumstances" as the reason for the cancellation.

In a message to their fans, known as Peabodies, the group wrote, "It is with a heavy heart that, in light of current circumstances, our Las Vegas shows will not be moving forward as planned." They assured ticket holders that full refunds would be issued automatically and encouraged fans to stay tuned for updates on future performances.

The residency, titled "Black Eyed Peas: 3008 The Las Vegas Residency," was set to be a groundbreaking production, featuring 15 dates across February, March, and May 2025. This would have marked the group’s first residency on the Las Vegas Strip, blending their futuristic aesthetic with cutting-edge technology, including the introduction of an artificial intelligence entity named "Vida."

Will.i.am, a founding member of the group, had earlier described the project as "an interactive journey to 3008," inspired by Disney rides and Las Vegas’ iconic shows. “We predicted this in 2009 with The E.N.D. album,” Will.i.am said in a prior statement. “To think that we would have the first AI member of a globally recognized urban pop-hip-hop group … man.”

The residency was expected to feature the current members—Will.i.am, Apl.de.Ap, Taboo, and J. Rey Soul—and further cement the group’s reputation for blending technology with live performances. Fans had eagerly awaited the innovative experience, which was to build on the Peas’ decades-long career of chart-topping hits and genre-blurring artistry.

Despite the cancellation, the Black Eyed Peas promised to reconnect with fans in the future, stating, "We can’t wait to see you again."

This cancellation comes after months of planning and promotion, leaving fans and insiders speculating about what circumstances led to the decision. Representatives for the group have not elaborated further.

The Black Eyed Peas’ residency was announced in September 2024, following a string of successful tours in Europe and North America. Known for hits like "Where Is The Love?" and "I Gotta Feeling," the group has sold over 35 million albums and continues to influence the global music scene.
