Lenny Kravitz Says Upcoming Las Vegas Residency Is a ‘Great Warm-Up’ to Introduce New Album (Exclusive)

The rock star also discusses his workout regimen for performing his stint in Sin City amid the release of ‘Blue Electric Light’

Lenny Kravitz is ready to enter a new era with his recent release Blue Electric Light  — and it involves a high-profile stint in Sin City.

This October, the rock star, 60, is heading to Las Vegas for a five-day residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM, which he told PEOPLE will be a “celebration of life, music, love, of rock ‘n’ roll.”

“It’s always been a great part of entertainment history, and I thought it’d be a great warm-up, a great place to start and present Blue Electric Light to America,” Kravitz said over the phone from Paris.

Even before the residency, he’ll be testing out his new material as a headliner at the UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi on Saturday, June 1 at Wembley Stadium in London. “When you’re in a football stadium, especially for a championship like this, it’s intense,” he said. “It’s like a rock concert.”
