Gwen Stefani is the latest pop star to establish show roots in Las Vegas.

Stefani will begin a new residency – “Gwen Stefani – Just a Girl” – at the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino beginning June 27.

The No Doubt frontwoman and keeper of Blake Shelton’s heart will perform a series of shows in June, July and December, before returning in 2019 for several dates in February and March.

Tickets starting at $59 will go on sale at 1 p.m. April 13 at www.ticketmaster.com/gwen  . American Express cardholders can participate in a pre-sale now through 1 a.m. April 13 and Total Rewards members (Caesars Entertainment’s loyalty program) can purchase tickets from 1 p.m. April 12 through 1 a.m. April 13.

Stefani also announced that $1 from every ticket sale will benefit the Las Vegas-based nonprofit Cure 4 The Kids Foundation, which provides medical treatment to children with life-threatening conditions.

Stefani’s show will be customized for the theater, which said goodbye to Britney Spears’ long-running production in December and will host the final dates of Jennifer Lopez’s “All I Have” residency June through September.

The recently renamed theater also boasts residencies from Backstreet Boys, Pitbull and Lionel Richie.
