Welcome to Vegas, Chris Brown! The R&B superstar has landed a multi-year residency at Drai’s Las Vegas and is the first artist at Drai’s LIVE to perform on a custom stage. The stage will have two transparent levels for Brown to show off his impressive dance skills. Brown popularized the program after the concert series’ launch in 2015, but Drai’s management is hoping that the custom stage that Brown helped design himself, will deliver a heightened experience for fans.

“Chris Brown helped define Drai’s LIVE and what has become an unmatched lineup of residency performers on the Las Vegas Strip,” said Dustin Drai, VP of entertainment for Drai’s Management Group, in a statement per Vibe. “He’s one of the most dynamic live performers today, and we’re thrilled to welcome him back with a production that’s set to deliver an unprecedented fan experience.”

The R&B crooner will perform his greatest hits along with songs from his forthcoming album Breezy.

When Chris was locked up in 2014 for violating a judge's order, the guards constantly played this song: "[They were] playing it over the speakers when I was locked up,' he told MTV News. 'You know how they'd call you like, 'Brown you've got a visitor' - they would play the music and I thought: this is funny."
