All Upcoming Wynonna Judd Dates
- 5, 6
Wynonna Judd, one of country music’s most powerful and enduring voices, is set to light up Las Vegas this December with a pair of electrifying performances at The Venetian Theatre. The shows, scheduled for December 5 & 6, mark a triumphant return to the iconic venue and a celebration of Wynonna’s 40-year journey as a live performer.
A Legacy Born in Harmony
Born Christina Claire Ciminella in Ashland, Kentucky, Wynonna Judd’s rise to fame began in the early 1980s as one half of The Judds, the legendary mother-daughter duo she formed with her mother, Naomi Judd. Their blend of Appalachian traditionalism and contemporary country struck a chord with audiences across America. With 14 No. 1 hits and over 20 million records sold, The Judds became one of the most successful acts in country music history.
Songs like “Mama He’s Crazy,” “Why Not Me,” and “Love Can Build a Bridge” showcased their emotional depth and vocal chemistry. Their music was more than entertainment—it was a reflection of family, resilience, and the American spirit.
Stepping Into the Spotlight
When Naomi retired in 1991 due to health issues, Wynonna Judd launched her solo career with a self-titled debut album that went five-times platinum. The record featured hits like “She Is His Only Need,” “I Saw the Light,” and “No One Else on Earth,” each showcasing her signature blend of soul, grit, and country storytelling.
Her follow-up album, Tell Me Why, nearly reached triple platinum status and included fan favorites like “Girls With Guitars” and the title track. Wynonna Judd’s solo work expanded her musical palette, incorporating blues, gospel, and even pop influences, while maintaining the emotional honesty that defined her artistry.
A Voice That Transcends Generations
Over the decades, Wynonna Judd has continued to evolve, releasing eight studio albums and earning five GRAMMY Awards. Her most recent project, Wynonna & The Big Noise, demonstrated her willingness to experiment and collaborate, bringing fresh energy to her already storied career.
Her live performances remain legendary. Whether she’s belting out a ballad or rocking a country anthem, Wynonna Judd commands the stage with a presence that’s both fierce and tender. Fans describe her concerts as spiritual experiences—raw, uplifting, and unforgettable.
The Venetian Shows: A Milestone Celebration
This December, Wynonna Judd returns to The Venetian Theatre for two special performances during National Finals Rodeo (NFR) week. The shows are part of her “Greatest Hits” celebration, honoring four decades of live performance and the fans who’ve supported her every step of the way.
“Mom and I played our very first show in 1984, which means I’ve been performing live for 40 years,” Wynonna shared in her announcement. “The Greatest Hits celebration is a chance for the fans and I to celebrate. They have been with me for so long, and my hope is that everyone will get to hear their favorite song. How many hits can we fit into one show? Let’s find out!”
The Venetian Theatre, known for its intimate setting and world-class acoustics, is the perfect venue for this retrospective. Fans can expect a setlist packed with classics from both The Judds and Wynonna’s solo catalog, delivered with the passion and authenticity that have become her trademarks.
A Life of Triumph and Tribute
Wynonna Judd’s return to Las Vegas is also a poignant tribute to her late mother, Naomi Judd, who passed away in 2022. The two last performed together at The Venetian in 2015 during their “Girls Night Out” residency. Naomi’s influence remains deeply woven into Wynonna’s music and spirit, and her presence will undoubtedly be felt during these upcoming shows.
Beyond the stage, Wynonna Judd continues to inspire through her openness about personal struggles, including grief, addiction, and self-discovery. Her journey is one of transformation—an artist who has faced life’s highs and lows with courage and grace.
The Heartbeat of Country Music
As she prepares to take the stage once again, Wynonna Judd stands as a beacon of country music’s enduring soul. Her voice, rich with history and emotion, continues to resonate with fans old and new. These upcoming shows at The Venetian aren’t just concerts—they’re a celebration of a life lived boldly, a career built on authenticity, and a legacy that will echo for generations.
