The 10-date tour will begin in Pittsburgh on February 16 and will finish at the Okeechobee Festival in Florida on March 4. The band will perform at a special “Fat Tuesday” celebration on Mardi Gras, February 28, at the B.B. King Blues Club in New York. The idea for the tour came from Nick Szatmari of Universal Attractions Agency, who also produced it.

George Clinton’s Unique Sound and Influence

Clinton’s music blends New Orleans blues, jazz, pop, rock, and gospel. He recorded music in the 1970s under the names Parliament and Funkadelic. His soul music was influenced by several musicians from the late 1960s and created a new genre of music known as funk. His Mothership tour was so influential that a stage prop was included as a permanent installation at the Smithsonian Museum of African American History in Washington, DC.

Clinton and Funkadelic released First Ya Gotta Shake the Gate, a 33-track LP, in 2014. It was the first album released under that name in over 30 years. The remix of the single “Ain’t That Funkin’ Hard on You?” featured performances by Kendrick Lamar and Ice Cube.

Clinton’s music continues to influence contemporary funk, rap, and electronic artists. In 2015, he supplied vocals for “The Lavishments of Light Looking.” It was the first collaboration involving Flying Lotus, Thundercat, and Shabazz Palaces as WOKE. Clinton also co-wrote Kendrick Lamar’s electro-funk single “Wesley’s Theory” on the album To Pimp a Butterfly and provided vocals for the track. Clinton won his first Grammy in 2016 for his contribution to the album.

In August, Clinton was a headliner at the AfroPunk NYC Festival with Tyler, the Creator, and Ice Cube. In September, he performed with Flying Lotus, Shabazz Palaces, and Thundercat at the Brainfeeder at the Bowl event in Los Angeles.

Larger Than Life Concert Series in Las Vegas

The series of shows are called Larger Than Life. The name is taken from the title of the Backstreet Boys’ 1999 hit. The group will perform at The Axis at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

The first concert will take place on March 1, 2017, and the rest will be scattered throughout the next four months, with the final show scheduled for July 1. If the 18-date “trial residency” is successful, it is likely that other dates will be added.

Members of the band said they wanted their shows in Las Vegas to truly be “larger than life.” Fans can expect an energetic party atmosphere where the band will perform all of their classic hits that made them famous.

Planet Hollywood hopes that adding the Backstreet Boys concerts to their entertainment lineup will help draw in diverse audiences, including both millennials and older visitors. Las Vegas attracts visitors of all ages, and millennials and Gen Xers make up over half of the city’s tourists.

Las Vegas Draws in Visitors with Legendary Entertainers

Las Vegas has been trying to turn itself into an entertainment destination similar to New York and Nashville. One way the city is doing that is by offering high-profile celebrities residencies at casinos across the city.

Many performers who were popular in the 1990s have recently had residencies in Las Vegas that drew in crowds from around the world. Staying in one location allows the performers to put on more elaborate shows than they can when they are touring.

When it comes to buying concert tickets, there are some shows that are subpar and then there are some shows that knock it out of the park. Panic! at the Disco is an American rock band that’s definitely worth seeing live in concert. Currently, the band is on their Death of a Bachelor tour, and tickets are going on sale with discounts and specials.

History of Panic! at the Disco

Panic! at the Disco first formed in 2004. That’s when childhood friends Ryan Ross, Spencer Smith, Brent Wilson and Brendon Urie got together to create a band that would become a phenomenon. It was hard-going at first, though. Ross had a falling out with his father after dropping out of college, and Brendon Urie was kicked out of his parents’ house after dropping out of high school to pursue music. But together, the group continued to relentlessly pursue their dream.

Panic! at the Disco’s style has evolved over the years. It’s been described as including emo, pop punk, electro, vaudeville, and baroque pop elements. And according to Ross in an article in Rolling Stone, “Our new songs are more like classic rock than modern rock. We got older and started listening to different music—and this seems like the natural thing to do right now.”

What the Concerts are Like

The concerts presented by Panic! at the Disco are full of energy. One reviewer described a concerts in a play-by-play, writing “They had smoke pouring out of the floor on ‘Emperor’s New Clothes’ and horn players lending a Mardi Gras vibe to ‘Crazy=Genius,’ which built to a climax with Urie whipping off his shirt to get behind a second drum kit and trade off fills with touring drummer Dan Pawlovich.”

The band goes back and forth between newer tracks and older, throwback favorites from previous albums. Usually including captivating visuals and light production, this is a live concert that you won’t regret attending.

Death of a Bachelor Discount Tickets

Currently, Panic! at the Disco is on its Death of a Bachelor tour, which runs through April 2017. Including venues from everywhere from Arizona to Italy and France, Panic! at the Disco’s tour is one you won’t want to miss.
