Legendary rockers Tesla are returning to House of Blues Las Vegas inside Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in 2027. Performances of Tesla: Live in Las Vegas will take place on March 5, 6, 10, 12 and 13, 2027, and are scheduled to begin at 8 p.m.
This marks Tesla’s fifth return engagement at House of Blues Las Vegas, where the band has built a devoted following among fans traveling from around the world to experience their celebrated live performances. During this exclusive five-night run, Tesla will touch all sides of their unique discography, from the heavier electric edge of fan favorites including “Modern Day Cowboy”, “Hang Tough” and “Edison’s Medicine”, to acoustic-driven classics such as “Signs” and “Love Song”, two Top 10 Billboard-charting hits. Fans will also hear songs from Tesla’s critically acclaimed album “Homage”. Known as America’s blue-collar rock band, Tesla will bring the energy, authenticity and musicianship that have made them a mainstay of rock music for decades to this special five-night engagement.
With 25 million records sold worldwide and five consecutive platinum albums, Tesla has established a remarkable legacy that continues to resonate with generations of rock fans. The band is coming off a highly successful 2026 North American summer tour with Mötley Crüe, The Return of the Carnival of Sins, along with the band Extreme, which ran for 33 dates from July through September and concluded September 26th in Ridgefield, Washington.
Tesla also recently released the critically acclaimed album “Homage” through Frontiers Music Srl, a deeply personal collection created as a thank-you to the artists and songs that helped shape the band’s musical DNA. The album pays tribute to some of the greatest vocalists and performers of the 1960s and ’70s, including Elvis Presley, Freddie Mercury, Sam Cooke, David Ruffin, Etta James and James Brown, while showcasing Tesla’s unmistakable ability to make these timeless songs their own.

That they are still roaring and soaring should be no surprise. That’s just how they are built. Tesla may have been born in the mid-80s, but their bluesy, soulful sound is strongly embedded in the roots of organic, authentic, 1970s rock and roll. The same roots that produced bands like The Allman Brothers, Grand Funk Railroad, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Aerosmith.
The ground started shaking in Sacramento, CA, in 1984; gold country that would soon be producing some platinum. They started out as City Kidd, until a suggested name change to Tesla, honoring the eccentric inventor Nikola Tesla, who pioneered all things electrical. Their 1986 platinum debut album, “Mechanical Resonance”, included Top 40 hits “Modern Day Cowboy” and “Little Suzi”. 1989’s double-platinum “The Great Radio Controversy” included hits “Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out)” and “Love Song”. Suddenly, Tesla, who had been touring with bands such as Def Leppard and David Lee Roth, earned headlining status. In 1990, Tesla helped reshape the face of modern rock music by stripping down to the Five Man Acoustical Jam, an informal collection of their biggest hits peppered with rock and roll classics by the Beatles, Stones, and others. This album produced their biggest hit single to date, a cover of Five Man Electrical Band’s “Signs”. Other 90s albums from Tesla include platinum selling “Psychotic Supper” and “Bust a Nut.” The band continues to record and release material including 9 new albums since 2000.
Tesla has endured many of the same taste-changing challenges that affected many in the post-grunge world, but through it all, their blue-collar work ethic and dedication to the faithful fan base has helped them not just survive, but thrive. Tesla’s legacy is alive and well as they continue to record and sellout venues all over the world. As comfortable, rugged, and dependable as your favorite pair of boots, they endure. Tesla is a celebration of the greatest spirits of rock and roll.
