As a young recording artist, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds visited Las Vegas during the holidays — any holiday — when his mother, Barbara, lived here.
“I loved coming to Vegas, and it became kind of the place for holidays, Christmas or Thanksgiving, and spend time with her,” Edmonds said. “She could see the grandkids and we would all hang out. Everybody was there. We kind of built a life in Vegas.”
The 13-time Grammy Award-winning artist, songwriter and producer lives in Vegas these days. The 67-year-old Edmonds is playing assorted holidays at Pearl Concert Theater at the Palms next year. His 2026 performances are set for four weekends: Valentine’s Day (February 13 and 14), Mother’s Day (May 8 and 9), Labor Day (Sept. 4 and 5), and Veteran’s Day (Nov. 13 and 14).
