Kenny Chesney

ASIA 65 – Timeless Memories

THE JOINT, BY ROGUE

KENNY CHESNEY *just added* Friday, May 14th and Saturday, May 15th at 8pm

Friday, July 2nd and Saturday, July 3rd at 8pm

Tickets start at $150       On Sale Saturday, January 30th at Noon

Kenny Chesney may be taking the year off from one of his giant tours, but Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas has country music’s biggest ticket-seller for four shows in its premiere rock ‘n’ roll venue The Joint. Easily the most intimate opportunity to see the man who’s won four consecutive Academy of Country Music and four Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year Awards, the Hard Rock has over a third of Chesney’s live appearances in 2010.

The shows – May 14th and 15th and July 2nd and 3rd – bring Chesney, the face of Corona Extra, back to The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas, where he was part of the opening weekend which also included Paul McCartney, Bon Jovi and the Killers. For the man who’s used to rocking close to 60,000 people, the chance to be in a venue where the farthest seat from the stage is merely 155 feet away appeals to the man known for his unannounced Keg in the Closet tours of college and beach bars.

With two sold out American tours under their belts, these are must-see shows by one of the year’s most talked-about artists. Be sure to catch them this time around and see why they’ve been captivating audiences around the globe all year long.  Indie rock band, Sea Wolf will open.

KZ Event Productions and Golden Boy Promotions are pleased to present an evening of world championship boxing when they present “Campillo vs. Shumenov II” at The Joint.

In the 12-round main event, Spain’s Gabriel Campillo will defend his WBA Light Heavyweight World Title against Las Vegas resident Beibut Shumenov, who will defend his IBA Light Heavyweight World Title, in a rematch of their heated 2009 title fight.  In that August bout, Campillo upset the odds in an exciting 12 rounder that saw both men hit the deck before the Spaniard took the razor-thin and highly controversial majority decision.

EXPERIENCE HENDRIX TRIBUTE TOUR                      Saturday, March 6th at 8pm

Tickets start at $45                                                        On Sale Now

Experience Hendrix, the fourth edition of the biennial concert tour that features an all-star line up of music greats paying homage to the music and legacy of Jimi Hendrix gets underway in early March of next year with special performances across the country.

Featured artists who will be performing music written and inspired by Jimi Hendrix include some of the best known and most respected artists in contemporary rock and blues including Joe Satriani, Jonny Lang, Eric Johnson, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Brad Whitford (of Aerosmith), Doyle Bramhall II, Ernie Isley, Living Colour, Double Trouble’s Chris Layton, along with bassist Billy Cox, and David Hidalgo & Cesar Rosas of Los Lobos. Cox, who first befriended Hendrix when the two were in the 101st Airborne Division of U.S. Army, played in both the Jimi Hendrix Experience and Band of Gypsys and performed with Hendrix at such landmark festivals as Woodstock and the Isle of Wight. Cox commented, ”It’s a thrill for me to play Jimi’s music for audiences now as it was in the 1960s.  The Experience Hendrix tours have shown how timeless this music really is.” Joe Satriani remarked, ”I finally get to pay tribute to my hero the right way, on stage with an amazing, once in a lifetime, line up of musicians!”

Recently ranked by Forbes — along with Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock — as one of the top ten highest grossing stand-up comics in the U.S., Peters has set the Joint date as part of his “Green Card Tour.”

Peters uses his wry and funny observations about race, class and culture to illuminate our human shortcomings with the sizzling accuracy of a well-aimed laser.

Peters televised specials and DVDs are chart-toppers throughout the world and he is one of only a handful of comics to sell out Madison Square Garden in its long and storied history.  Over the course of his twenty-year career, he has headlined comedy festivals across the Globe and gained a devoted following, he has performed sold out tours of China, South Africa, Australia, the UK, Singapore, Sweden, Norway, Lebanon, Bahrain, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and India. His upcoming show at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall sold-out in less than 72 hours with additional shows added.
