Against
the formidable obstacles of an ever-changing cultural landscape, the rise and
fall of various musical trends, and the near collapse of the record industry
itself, Queensrÿche secured a triumphant legacy as one of hard rock’s most
respected and celebrated acts, selling 30 million albums around the world
across a 30-plus-year career.
The band’s name is uttered in the same breath as many of the groups they looked to as influences and others who arose as peers. Queensrÿche built a dedicated legion of fans traveling the globe on tour with fellow rock giants like Iron Maiden, Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, Judas Priest, and Def Leppard. In recent years, they’ve consistently delivered high-octane live shows combining the hungry fire of a new band with the tempered experience of master showmen. Even with eleven gold and platinum plaques and several Top 10 hard rock anthems woven into the very fiber of the genre, Queensrÿche won’t relent as they hit the road again this year.

Since
1976, they’ve sold over 15 million albums, built a classic catalog of hits, and
played more than 8,000 ferocious live shows. They broke records with their 50
Dates/50 States Tour, delivered landmark performances at Live Aid and on SNL,
and became mainstays of radio, MTV and stages worldwide for more than two
generations. Through it all, they’ve remained one of the most consistent – and
consistently passionate – progenitors of blues-based rock in pop culture
history.
For the
past 45 years, it’s been very good to be George Thorogood & The Destroyers.
And in 2021, their Good To Be Bad Tour: 45 Years Of Rock will prove why like
never before.
Thorogood and his longtime band – Jeff Simon
(drums, percussion), Bill Blough (bass guitar), Jim Suhler (rhythm guitar) and
Buddy Leach (saxophone) – have put together hits like “Get A Haircut,” “I Drink
Alone,” “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer,” “Move It On Over,” “Who Do You
Love” and the definitive badass anthem “Bad To The Bone.”

Songwriter. Composer. Pianist. Author. These are just a few of the titles that
can describe Neil Sedaka. Classically trained at Juilliard, his impressive

all thanks to the countless songs he has written, performed, and produced that
continue to inspire artists and audiences around the world.

Justin
Willman wants to melt your brain while making you laugh. He’s best known as the
star and creator of the hit Netflix series Magic for Humans, but you may
recognize him from one of his many television appearances (The Tonight Show,
The Today Show, Ellen, Conan…). Or maybe you know his work
as a host (Cupcake Wars, Halloween Wars, Win, Lose or Draw…).
Or maybe he’s the child magician you hired in suburban St. Louis in the ‘90s.
If you don’t know Justin, he’s a magician and comedian who’s mastered the art
of turning cynics into believers (or at least getting them to laugh). His live
show is simultaneously mind-blowing and hilarious. It will likely keep you up
at night wondering how the heck any of it was possible.

This show
will honor a great artist who has influenced Paul Anka more than anyone else
throughout his legendary career – Frank Sinatra. It will also feature the hits
that have spanned his career.
Songwriting
and performing “are what gave me the confidence to keep going,” Anka says.
Becoming a junior associate of Sinatra and the Rat Pack also had its
privileges. By the 1970s, the success of “My Way” and a string of hits like
“(You’re) Having My Baby” confirmed his status as an icon of popular music. His
later achievements as a recording artist included “Hold Me ‘Til the Morning
Comes,” a hit duet with Peter Cetera in 1983 and Body of Work, a 1998
duets album that featured Frank Sinatra, Celine Dion, Patti LaBelle, Tom Jones
and daughter Anthea Anka.
