Long live the King of Pop! Even though we lost Michael Jackson, his talent still remains to be enjoyed the world. Combining his music and choreography with Cirque du Soleil creativity, fans are now able to experience MJ unlike ever before with Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour. Proving just how popular this show is, American Airlines Center is happy to announce that an additional performance has been added due to strong ticket demand! Dallas fans can now choose between the June 26 and June 27 show dates to see this once-in-a-lifetime production.
Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour brings audiences into a fantasy world, a world Michael undoubtedly preferred. We could never begin to image the limitless opportunities within his creativity, but this show attempts the impossible. Audiences get to see Michael’s inner world of fantasy and magic in a show that promotes his global messages of love, peace and unity.
Of course the show would be little without the breathtaking and ahh-inspiring acrobatics of Cirque du Soleil. If you have never been to a Cirque du Soleil show, get off your chair/couch/bed/floor/etc. and GO. These acrobats have talent that is unimaginable. They will leave you captivated from beginning to middle to end (and feeling very nonflexible, we might add).
The man behind Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour, writer and director Jamie King, has been called the “Jerry Bruckheimer of tent-pole concert tours” by Variety. Though this may be King’s debut Cirque du Soleil show, it is certainly not his first rodeo with concert tours. His client list boasts of stars ranging from Madonna to Spice Girls to Celine Dion.
This show dazzles both lifelong fans and those experiencing Jackson’s artistry for the first time. And by the looks of the promo video below, the show does not promise to disappoint. So take advantage of the second added show and make plans to spend a summer night reliving the magic Michael Jackson brought to us for so many years. Tickets are now available through Ticketmaster with prices ranging from $50 to $250.
Calling all pyrotechnic lovers– you’re going to want to hear about this concert. Rammstein, a Berlin-based band, is bringing their brand new show to the AA Center next month, and the fire department is already on-call. Known for their incendiary live performances, Rammstein creates a show unlike any other you have seen. Their dedicated European fans fill soccer stadiums to capacity and keep the band quite busy overseas. So busy, in fact, that Rammstein spent nearly a decade without performing in the U.S. before returning in 2010, followed by nine days worth of shows around the country in spring 2011. We are quite excited by the announcement of their latest tour and the fact they will be spending more time in the good ole U.S.A. After all, we couldn’t let the Europeans have all the fun (in their “football” stadiums, nonetheless)!
Just last week Rammstein was awarded two German Echo music awards. The sextet won honors in the “Best Rock/Alternative national” category and also the “Most successful national act abroad” category. To their fans, these awards probably come at no surprise. An interesting fact about the metal band: it has had the same six members since its formation in 1994– pretty impressive by today’s standards.
The veteran band has six albums under their belt, the most recent being a greatest hits album entitledMade in Germany 1995-2011(which their current tour is named after). So go check some of them out before heading to the show on May 22nd. And if you watch the video below, you may just decide to invest in some flame resistant clothing.
Radiohead’s performance at AA Center could best be described as a mix of visual art and captivating sound. Over 13,000 fans ooh’ed and ahh’ed at the elaborate set design, sang along with a couple dozen of their favorite songs and were mesmerized by blends of Yorke’s vocals with moody instrumentals. The band had not one but TWO encores, and the sold-out crowd soaked in every second. One especially memorable moment occurred when a new song, “Skirting on the Surface”, was debuted for the Dallas audience (see- even the Brits are fans of Texas). Sure enough, the song made headlines throughout the country and beyond the following morning.
Other Lives, the opening act for Radiohead, seemed to be the perfect addition to the show. Their haunting and eerie sound caught the audience’s attention and certainly set the tone for the night. Though the thought of performing on such a grand stage made lead singer Jeese Tabish a little nervous, there was no sight of it from an audience’s perspective.
The concert was drastically different than previous Radiohead tours, and that fact cannot be ignored. But the band proved that despite growing and changing, they are still the daring rock group they have always been. Radiohead will undoubtedly continue to push the limits and evolve for years and years to come. And we, for one, are all for it.
Do you get in trouble for shuffling on the job? Are people sick of you walking around in Speedo’s telling them how sexy you know you are? Do you prefer champagne showers to regular H2O? Well then, you are cordially invited to the summer’s most outrageous show (rest assured it’s not only in Miami).
LMFAO and the Party Rock Crew are bringing their Sorry For Party Rocking Tour to American Airlines Center on June 15th for all you urging to “wiggle” on a Friday night. The guys will be joined by special guests Far East Movement, Quest Crew, Natalia Kills, Sidney Samson and Eva Simmons. Killer music artists joined by America’s Best Dance Crew? Sounds like the perfect concoction for a summer party.
With two records from Party Rock being theme songs for hit TV shows (Kourtney and Khloé Take Miamiand Jersey Shore), and their sophomore album recently certified platinum, the Grammy-nominated duo has certainly made a name for themselves. And if their track record is any indication, the Sorry For Party Rocking Tour is sure to be just as crazy as RedFoo and SkyBlu themselves.
Some of country’s best graced the stage at AA Center this past Saturday, and they did not disappoint. Coming out of the GRAMMY’s with a 7th win under their belt, Lady Antebellum proved why there were awarded Best Country Album by wowing the packed house with some stellar vocals. They captivated fans with all the favorite hits such as “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore”, “Hello World” and a special encore performance of “Need You Now”. And knowing that no concert is complete without a memorable cover, the trio gave the audience a blast from the past with their rendition of Aerosmith’s “Sweet Emotion”.
But Lady A didn’t Own The Night all by themselves. The band got a little help from their opening acts: husband and wife duo Thompson Square and Hootie-gone-country crooner, Darius Rucker. While it was certainly a country concert through and through, Rucker incorporated some throwback songs from his Hootie and the Blowfish days, and even finished his set with the Prince classic, “Purple Rain”.
Based on their performance, you’d never have guessed this was Lady A’s first headlining arena tour. The band has already accomplished so much since their first single debuted in 2008, but they do not seem to be slowing down any time soon. If you weren’t able to catch the show in Dallas, it is not one that you should miss out on. Seriously people, if you have not seen this band live then a road trip is definitely in order. You won’t regret it.
If you were here this weekend, what was your favorite moment of the night??
The music world lost one of its most amazing talents last weekend, but Whitney Houston’s songs will be enjoyed for decades to come. Houston’s signature hit, “I Will Always Love You”, even returned to the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 10 for the first time since its release in 1992. While she will be greatly missed, the Prom Queen of Soul would surely want us to take a note from her most famous tune: “So goodbye, please don’t cry.”
With that, we are urged to celebrate and honor her work and relish in the fact we were able to enjoy her talents for over 25 years. That is why Love Train will have a Celebration of Lifefor both Houston and Don Cornelius, “Mr. Soul Train” himself, during their show on Friday, February 17th.
Chaka Khan, one of the acts performing during the 6 hour show, will certainly be dedicating her performance to the late Whitney Houston. The “Tell Me Something Good” singer was set to perform alongside Jennifer Hudson for the GRAMMY tribute to Houston but later pulled out stating she was still grieving the loss of her “little sister”. While certainly still mourning, Chaka Khan will celebrate her friend the only way she knows best: through song.
Other acts playing in the show include The OJay’s, The Men of Soul, and the Masters of Funk: Confunkshun, BARKAYS, Sugar Foot’s Ohio Players, SLAVE and the Mary Jane Girls. Love Train will be hosted by Mr. Tom Joyner and will feature the largest Soul Train line ever with over 500 people!
The performances begin at 6:00pm, and you can plan on grooving to the Old School tunes all night long. So come out to the show for a true Celebration of Life and a concert you will not soon forget.
Over 25 years ago, Les Misérable changed musical theater forever, all because of the creative genius of Alain Boublil and Calude-Michel Schönberg. Now the duo is creating the American debut of the arena spectacular, Do You Hear The People Sing, and bringing it to Dallas. The show features music of Les Misérable, Miss Saigon, The Pirate Queen, Martin Guerre and La Revolution Francaise. This Broadway-styled show promises to be unlike any performance you’ve ever seen, featuring a two level, 250-person stage with larger than life video screens and a state-of-the-art sound system. A concert of this magnitude could not be accomplished without the added help of the Dallas Pops Orchestra and Turtle Creek Chorale.
If you’re wondering whether Do You Hear The People Sing is just another normal Broadway show, think again. This concert is an original in every sense. Boublil is creating and producing it right here in the city and said he is “excited about bringing this great music to the people of Dallas in such an epic fashion.” Ticket prices are going to be kept low (ranging from $35-$85) in order to make this once in a lifetime event accessible to everyone, while still maintaining the grandness of the show.
You don’t want to miss out on this arena spectacular! Order your tickets online or at the American Airlines Center Box Office.
Sure, watching Madonna’s Super Bowl halftime performance from the comfort of your couch is…nice. But even your HD TV fails miserably at capturing the mesmerizing performance of the Queen of Pop. That’s why we have decided to one up Indy and bring Madonna to you! Dallas is one of the many stops Madonna will be making on her 2012 World Tour, and the American Airlines Center will open its doors on October 20th for what is sure to be the party of the year.
Madge is recognized as the top female recording artist of all time, having sold over 300 million albums worldwide. She also holds the record for the most successful tour by a solo artist in history, so it is no doubt that her 2012 Tour will be anything but extreme entertainment. And as much as people may try to knock her (failed) attempt at acquiring a British accent, Madonna has had the most #1 albums in the UK of any female singer. With those kinds of stats to back her up, she can have a Jamaican accent for all we care as long, as she keeps singing.
This is a concert event you will not want to miss out on, but you better work on your Internet navigating speed because tickets will sell fast. They go on sale Monday, February 27th at 10 a.m. so mark your calendars. In the meantime, head over to iTunes and check out Madonna’s recently released album MDNA and work on your Vouge poses.
American Airlines Center is making and breaking records! On March 17th, the basketball court may be filled with the sound of scuffling feet while the Mavs take on the Spurs, but AT&T Plaza will be filled with the sound of over 1,000 whizzing stationary bikes.
Trying to break a Guinness World Record, Life Time Fitness is turning AAC into the world’s largest cycle studio for a day. World-renowned DJ, Roberto Costa, will spin the tracks as riders spin their pedals into history. The two-hour long ride is not for the weak-minded…but neither is anything that makes it in the record books. Life Time Fitness Chair, President and CEO, Bahram Akradi, will lead the way along with other top Life Time cycle instructors in what is sure to be a spin class you will never forget.
The event is also good for the heart (literally and figuratively)- a portion of all proceeds go to supporting the organization’s chairty, Life Time Fitness Foundation. Life Time members and guests can register online, but act fast as you save $10 by signing up before March 1st. So grab your 5 hour energy and spin shoes, and get ready to sign some autographs. I mean, how many people can say they broke a Guiness World Record, right?
What’s the first thing a singer must do after undergoing vocal chord surgery? Why, sign up to sing at the biggest annual music event in the world, of course! That’s right, the extraordinarily talented Adele just announced this morning via Twitter that she would be performing at the Grammy Awards on Feb. 12th.
The British singer will have to deal with not only performance nerves but also the angst of being a nominee. Adele is nominated for a whopping six Grammy’s, including song and record of the year for Rolling In The Deep and album of the year as well. She joins the likes of other nominees Lady Antebellum, Coldplay and Radiohead, all of which will be performing here at AA Center this year. (We basically bring you your own year long local Grammy show) Kanye scored the most nom’s with seven, while Adele, Bruno Mars and Foo Fighters follow with one less.
It looks like not even a recurrent vocal chord hemorrhage can stop this girl, and we will definitely be watching as the Brit performs for the first time since her surgery last year. If the past is any indication, her live performances are sure to be awe-inspiring. Just take a look at her while at the Royal Albert Hall in London. What do you think about the singer’s upcoming performance at the Grammy’s and the show in general? Who will walk away with the most wins?
