British Invasion!
Eric Clapton, Sir Elton John & Phil Collins to Take the Stage at T-Mobile Arena
In what appears to be a British Invasion on the Las Vegas Strip, the T-Mobile Arena is gearing up for a stellar line-up of classic rockers this fall.
International (and Colosseum) superstar, Elton John, recently crowned by Billboard as the most successful performing male solo artist of all time, added 25 additional North American concert dates to his sold out Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, including two shows at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Friday, Sept. 6 and Saturday, Sept. 7.
Be prepared to go on a magical journey as Sir Elton takes concert-goers through his incredible 50-year career, featuring some of his most beloved songs from his legendary catalogue including, “Bennie and the Jets,” “Rocket Man,” “Tiny Dancer,” and “Philadelphia Freedom.” Elton’s music has taken him to many places, opened many doors and inspired many passions in his life. The audience will experience a rare glimpse into Elton’s life and the deeply personal meaning behind some of his greatest hits, with mesmerizing, never-before-seen photos and videos shown throughout the show. Tickets can be purchased at www.EltonJohn.com.
Iconic guitarist and blues rocker, Eric Clapton, will build up to his fifth annual Crossroads Guitar Festival by hitting the road for a series of three solo concert shows including a stop at T-Mobile Arena on Friday, Sept. 13.
The newly announced shows will precede the sold-out Crossroads Guitar Festival, taking place in Dallas, Texas Sept. 20 & 21. The Festival will feature the past, present and future of guitar music on one stage for an unparalleled musical event. All profits will benefit The Crossroads Centre in Antigua, a treatment and education facility founded by Clapton for chemically dependent persons.
Clapton’s band for the jaunt includes Doyle Bramhall II, Paul Carrack, Nathan East, Steve Gadd and Chris Stainton with Sharon White and Katie Kissoon on backing vocals. Tickets starting at $69 (not including applicable service charges) are available at www.axs.com.
Wrapping up the invasion, British drummer Phil Collins ends his 15-city, limited-run tour, Still Not Dead Yet Live!, at the T-Mobile Arena on Saturday, Oct. 19. The upcoming leg marks a continuation of Collins’ first North American tour in 12 years.
One of the world’s most acclaimed hitmakers with over 100 million record sales and an unstoppable catalogue of Number 1 albums, Phil Collins Still Not Dead Yet, Live! will feature Phil Collins accompanied by longtime guitarist Daryl Stuermer, keyboardist Brad Cole, bassist Leland Sklar, percussionist Richie Garcia, four piece horns and stellar backup vocalists with Phil’s son Nicolas once again handling the iconic drum beats Phil himself made so famous and compelling a generation before.
Phil Collins Still Not Dead Yet, Live! continues to be a celebration of his epic career. With more top 40 hits than any other U.S. artist in the ‘80s, crowd pleasers “Against All Odds,” “Another Day in Paradise,” “I Missed Again,” “Follow You Follow Me,” “In the Air Tonight” “Invisible Touch” and “Easy Lover,” amongst others, will have rapturous crowds air drumming and dancing in their seats.
