Skip the panic dinner reservation. The smartest Valentine's move in Las Vegas just hit the calendar, and the presale starts today.
Babyface will return to the Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort in 2027, the resort announced this week. Four new dates, two holiday weekends, every show at 8 p.m.
Here is the part most people will miss. The February shows land on the Friday and Saturday right before Valentine's Day, so the good seats will not sit around waiting for the January romantics.
Four Dates, Two Weekends Built for a Date
- Friday, February 12, 2027, 8 p.m. Valentine's Day weekend
- Saturday, February 13, 2027, 8 p.m. Valentine's Day weekend
- Friday, May 7, 2027, 8 p.m. Mother's Day weekend
- Saturday, May 8, 2027, 8 p.m. Mother's Day weekend
The new dates join his previously announced shows this week, Friday, November 13 and Saturday, November 14, 2026, also at 8 p.m. at the Pearl.
His Las Vegas engagement kicked off in 2024. It took silver in the Best Resident Headliner category at the Las Vegas Review-Journal's 2025 Best of Las Vegas Awards, which tells you the locals already claimed this one.
The Presale Clock Starts at 10 This Morning
The artist presale opens today, Wednesday, November 11, at 10 a.m. PT. The code is BABYFACE. Simple, memorable, zero excuses.
Citi cardmembers got in first. Their presale opened Tuesday, November 10 at 10 a.m. PT and runs through Thursday, November 12 at 10 p.m. PT through the Citi Entertainment program.
Everyone else waits for the general sale on Friday, November 13 at 10 a.m. PT at AXS.com, with additional presales running through the week in between.
- Pick Saturday, February 13 if the date is the point. It is the night before Valentine's Day.
- Use the artist presale today instead of fighting the Friday general sale.
- Buy only through AXS.com or the Palms. Prices were not included in the announcement, so check your total before you commit.
Why This Songbook Wins Date Night
Nobody else wrote the soundtrack to this many love stories. Babyface is a 13-time GRAMMY Award-winning artist, songwriter and producer, and the catalog does the romantic heavy lifting for you.
On stage he mixes his own hits, including "Whip Appeal," "Every Time I Close My Eyes" and "When Can I See You Again," with songs he wrote and produced for Whitney Houston, Madonna, Boyz II Men and many more.
The numbers behind the catalog: more than 125 Top 10 hits, 45 No. 1 R&B hits and 16 No. 1 pop hits. He is also the only producer to win Producer of the Year four times, three of them in a row from 1995 to 1997.
The Pearl sits inside Palms Casino Resort at 4321 West Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, NV 89103, just west of the Strip. Close enough for a Strip dinner first, far enough to skip the worst of Strip traffic on the way home.
Book the tickets today. The dinner reservation is the easy part.
