Lionel Richie has a discography of albums and singles that is second to none.  His artistry is part of the fabric of pop music and he is one of only two songwriters in history to achieve the honor of having #1 records for nine consecutive years. With over 100 million albums sold worldwide, an Oscar, a Golden Globe, four Grammy awards and the distinction of MusiCares person of the year in 2016, the Tuskegee, Alabama native is a true music icon and he’s set to bring his brand new world tour to The Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Friday, July 28, 2017.

Lionel Richie is known for his mega-hits such as “Endless Love,” “Lady,” “Truly,” “All Night Long (All Night),” “Penny Lover,” “Stuck On You,” “Hello,” “Say You, Say Me,” “Dancing on the Ceiling,” and one of most important pop songs in history, “We Are The World,” written with Michael Jackson for USA for Africa. His song catalog also includes his early work with The Commodores, where he developed a groundbreaking style that defied genre categories, penning smashes such as “Three Times A Lady,” “Still,” and “Easy.”

Lionel launched his Las Vegas headlining residency show, “Lionel Richie - All the Hits,” at The AXIS at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in April 2016.  With his most recent All the Hits, All Night Long Tour, Lionel sold out arenas worldwide with a set list of his brightest and best anthems. In recent years Lionel also headlined Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, and Glastonbury, drawing the festival’s biggest crowd ever with over 200,000 attendees.

Always giving back, Lionel Richie’s charity work extends from Breast Cancer Research Foundation and Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center to UNICEF and The Art of Elysium.

SoCal boxing in the desert will sizzle on Friday, August 4, as two of the longest reigning welterweight contenders meet in a true crossroads fight. Mauricio “El Maestro” Herrera (23-7, 7 KOs) of Riverside, CA and Jesus “El Renuente” Soto Karass (28-11-4, 18 KOs) of Los Mochis, Mexico face each other in a 10-round bout. The August 4 edition of Golden Boy Boxing on ESPN will take place at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino will air on ESPN and ESPN Deportes at 9 P.M. EST/6 P.M. PST.

Herrera, a former interim WBA World Super Lightweight Champion, was last seen coming off a dominant unanimous decision victory over the rugged Hector “Charro Negro” Velasquez on the inaugural edition of Golden Boy Boxing on ESPN in March. Now, Herrera will take a step closer to title contention territory when he takes on seasoned fight veteran Jesus “Renuente” Soto Karass.

“This is life or death for me, because both Soto Karass and I potentially have our careers on the line in this ‘make or break’ fight,” Herrera said. “In order to catapult myself back to title contention, I know the most important step will be preparing harder than ever to ensure the victory come fight night.”

Having fought in back-to-back bloodbaths with Japanese warrior Yoshihiro “El Maestrito” Kamegai, Jesus Soto Karass will be well prepared for the challenge to demonstrate he is still a force to be reckoned with in the welterweight division.

“Mark my words, on August 4, the fans will witness a comeback as they’ve never seen before in the ring. This could be one of my last chances to go all-out in the ring, and I want to be sure it happens in this fight,” said Soto Karass. “I know Herrera has accomplished a lot in his career, but this win means more to me and my legacy.”

The Doobie Brothers have been delivering mind-blowing, roots-based, harmony-laden guitar-driven rock and roll for over four decades, selling more than 48 million albums and winning four Grammy awards, and they’re bringing their latest tour to Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Friday, August 18, 2017.

Boasting one of the most loyal fan bases in music, The Doobie Brothers continue to write and record new material and tour the world.  Their number one singles “Black Water” (1974) and “What A Fool Believes” (1979), both certified gold records, lead a catalog of indelible songs that include “Listen To The Music,” “Jesus Is Just All Right,” “Rockin’ Down The Highway,” “Long Train Runnin’,” “China Grove,” “Take Me In Your Arms,” “Takin’ It To The Streets,” “Minute By Minute,” “You Belong To Me,” “The Doctor” and more.  In all, the Doobies have tallied up five top ten singles and sixteen top 40 hits. 

Beginning with their multi-million-selling sophomore collection Toulouse Street (1972), The Doobies have three multi-platinum, seven platinum, and 14 gold albums.  Their Best Of The Doobies (1976) has sold more than 12 million copies, making it a rare “diamond record.”  They released their latest album, Southbound, in 2014.  Southbound features new recordings of the band’s biggest hits, with country music’s biggest stars including Blake Shelton, Zac Brown Band, Brad Paisley and Toby Keith.

Two multi-Grammy Award winning groups: Toto and Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo are teaming up this summer for a co-headline run of shows in North America that will bring them to The Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Friday, September 1st

For more than five decades, Steve Winwood has remained a primary figure in rock ‘n’ roll, a respected innovator who has helped to create some of the genre’s most celebrated achievements and he’s bringing those decades of hits to The Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Saturday, September 2, 2017

Steve Winwood burst into prominence in 1963 with the Spencer Davis Group and since that time his celebrated skills as a composer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist have developed an impressive catalog of popular music. The Spencer Davis Group enjoyed a string of chart success by way of such enduring classics as “Keep On Running,” “Gimme Some Lovin’” and “I’m A Man”. The international success of these singles bolstered Winwood’s confidence and strengthened his resolve to seek out new rhythmic possibilities.

In 1969, Winwood became part of what critics called rock’s first supergroup, Blind Faith. Blind Faith staples such as “Can’t Find My Way Home” with band mates Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker continue to rank among Winwood’s finest achievements.

Since the 1977 debut of his solo career, Steve Winwood has given the world a rich catalog of popular songs including “Back In The High Life,” “When You See A Chance,” “Valerie,” and “Higher Love”. His most recent solo album, About Time, has continued that success, earning Winwood one of his highest Billboard chart entries. Winwood remains in high demand for special collaborations with other artists. His distinctive Hammond organ has graced such classic fare as Jimi’s Hendrix’s “Voodoo Chile” as well as Miranda Lambert’s recent chart hit “Baggage Claim”.

While rightfully acknowledged for his many achievements, Steve Winwood forges ahead undaunted, continuing to create and perform new and exciting material. He remains one of the most important and influential artists in all of popular music.

50 years ago, singer-songwriter Stephen Stills met singer-songwriter Judy Collins, known for her piercing ocean-blue eyes. Their tumultuous love affair would later be immortalized by Stills with his song “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” and now the two legendary performers are reuniting for one night of incredible music at The Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Sunday, September 3, 2017.

Stephen Stills and Judy Collins met in 1967 and dated for two years. Stills wrote his legendary love song to Collins right after he left Buffalo Springfield, before he joined Crosby, Stills & Nash. “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” is a five-section romantic epic brimming with heartfelt sincerity. The song has been ranked #418 in Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time Poll, and 2017 will mark the very first time that Stills and Collins have been on stage together to perform the song.

Stephen Stills is known for his contributions to Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills & Nash, and for his solo work. He is best known for the hits “ For What It’s Worth” by Buffalo Springfield and “Love The One You’re With” from his solo debut, Stephen Stills. He’s a multi-instrumentalist and composer, and has the added distinction of being the first artist to be inducted into the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame twice in one night (for his work with CSN and Buffalo Springfield).

Judy Collins is known for her eclectic palette as a solo artist, melding folk, rock, classical and jazz into a singular aesthetic. She’s earned five Grammy nominations including one for “Send In The Clowns” and has one Grammy win (for the 1967 single “Both Sides, Now”). Outside of music, Collins has published two memoirs, one novel, and, in 1975, was nominated for an Academy Award for co-directing the documentary Antonia: A Portrait of the Woman. Collins is also a lifelong activist.

Both Stephen Stills and Judy Collins have shaped modern music with visionary approaches, but their short fiery union remains a transformative era for the two artists.  They’re eager to recapture that fire for the Fantasy Springs audience on Labor Day weekend.

Garbage, long known for their meticulously crafted blend of dark, industrial noise, sci-fi pop melodies, whirlwind guitar and tricked-out rhythms, set the bar high for popular music in the 1990’s. Hot on the heels of their brand new album Strange Little Birds, Garbage will be headlining The Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Friday, September 15, 2017.

Formed in Madison, Wisconsin in 1993 and made up of Scottish lead singer Shirley Manson and American musicians Duke Erikson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig, Garbage hit it big with their double platinum debut album Garbage, featuring the smash hit singles “Stupid Girl” and “Only Happy When It Rains.” Their follow-up album Version 2.0 was just as successful, spawning the singles “Push It” and “Special.”

Garbage’s latest album, Strange Little Birds, marks a return to musical basics for the band. In fact, Shirley Manson hears echoes of the band’s 1995 debut album in its compositions. “To me, this record, funnily enough, has the most to do with the first record than any of the previous records,” she says. “It’s getting back to that beginner’s headspace.” She also calls the album Garbage’s most romantic album, saying “And what I mean by romance, really, is vulnerability. I used to feel so scared, and I think that was why I was so aggressive — but I’m much more willing to admit weaknesses than I was before.”

Despite selling 17 million albums worldwide and being nominated for seven Grammy Awards, Garbage isn’t resting on its laurels. They’re hitting the road with a renewed vigor and Shirley Manson and the rest of the band can’t wait to give the audience at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino a show they’ll never forget.

With sales of over 60 million albums worldwide, Alanis Morissette is one of the most influential singer-songwriter-musicians in contemporary music. Her deeply expressive performances have earned vast critical praise and 7 Grammy Awards, and she’s bringing her huge catalog of hits to The Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Saturday, September 16th.

Morissette began her career in Canada in the early 1990s with two commercially successful dance-pop albums. Afterwards, she moved to Los Angeles and in 1995 released Jagged Little Pill, a more rock-oriented album that sold more than 33 million units globally and is her most critically acclaimed work. After the success of the scathing first single "You Oughta Know", the album's other hit singles helped send Jagged Little Pill to the top of the charts. "All I Really Want" and "Hand in My Pocket" followed, but the fourth U.S. single, "Ironic", became Morissette's biggest hit. "You Learn" and "Head Over Feet", the fifth and sixth singles, respectively, kept Jagged Little Pill in the top twenty on the Billboard 200 albums chart for more than a year.

Follow-up albums like the introspective Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie with its hit single “Thank U,” Under Rug Swept with the single “Hands Clean,” and the recent Havoc and Bright Lights cemented Morissette’s reputation as the standard bearer of alternative rock.  Morissette has also acted in movies and on television with roles in Curb Your Enthusiasm, Dogma, Sex and the City, Weeds, and Up All Night, and has appeared as a celebrity guest mentor on The Voice.

Outside of entertainment, Alanis is a dedicated advocate of female empowerment, spiritual, psychological, and physical wellness, and the advancement of children’s education. Her podcast, Conversations with Alanis Morissette, features discussions with leaders from different philosophies and of varied psychological, neurobiological and developmental models and backgrounds, all with an eye toward healing and wholeness and recovery.

Having shared the stage with some of today’s greatest thinkers, including Oprah Winfrey, Arianna Huffington, Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama, Alanis Morissette still loves taking the stage to share her music with her fans and she’s looking forward to playing for the audience at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in September.

Tom Jones’ 50-year career has undoubtedly gone from strength to strength.  Well-known for hits including “It’s Not Unusual,” “Kiss,” “Delilah,” “What’s New Pussycat” and “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again,” he’s bringing his powerful voice and legendary stage persona to The Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Friday, September 29, 2017.

Tom Jones was born in South Wales in 1940 to a father who worked the coal mines of the Rhondda Valley. After quitting school at 15, working a variety of manual jobs, singing in the clubs at night and marrying at 17, Jones went on to sign with Decca Records in London.  Blessed with a fundamental interest in a wide range of music, he is first-and-foremost an artist with a true rhythm and blues soul.

Following the success of his album, Praise & Blame, in May 2012 Tom released Spirit In The Room. Paired with producer/guitarist Ethan Johns at Real World Studios in England, Spirit In The Room, like its predecessor, allows Jones to bring a stripped-down version of his powerful voice to songs as only he can. Accompanied by Ethan Johns throughout, the album includes gems from diverse writers such as Richard Thompson, Leonard Cohen, Paul Simon and Paul McCartney. Spirit In The Room is simple, raw and soulful.

In 2015, Tom released his first ever autobiography entitled Over The Top And Back, and the book’s companion soundtrack entitled Long Lost Suitcase, which he actively promoted internationally.

Tom Jones is, above all, a living legend. He is one of the few musical artists who began his profession at the dawn of modern popular music and continues to have a vital recording and performing career to this day. His irresistible show traverses musical eras and genres, cuts across class divides and appeals to young and old, male and female, mainstream and cutting edge. Tom Jones has always been about the power of the song and the power of the voice.

Olivia Newton-John’s appeal is timeless. With a career spanning more than five decades she is still a vibrant, creative individual adored by fans around the globe and she’s going to be bringing her incredible talents to the Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Friday, October 6, 2017.

Olivia’s U.S. album debut, Let Me Be There, produced her first top ten single of the same name, with Olivia being honored by the Academy Of Country Music as Most Promising Female Vocalist and a Grammy Award as Best Country Vocalist. This proved to be only the beginning of a very exciting career. With more than 100 million albums sold, Olivia’s successes include four Grammy Awards, numerous Country Music, American Music and Peoples Choice Awards, ten #1 hits including “Physical,” which topped the charts for ten consecutive weeks, and over 15 top 10 singles. In September 2008, Billboard Magazine listed “Physical” at #6 on their list of Top 100 Songs Of All Time and in 2010 named it “The Sexiest Song of All Time”.  She recently scored another #1 hit, this time on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart with her daughter Chloe Lattanzi – becoming the first mother/daughter duo to top this chart.

In 1978, her co-starring role with John Travolta in Grease catapulted Olivia into super-stardom. This film’s best-selling soundtrack featured the duets "You’re The One That I Want" and "Summer Nights," with Travolta, as well as her mega-hit, "Hopelessly Devoted To You." To date Grease remains the most successful movie musical in history. Her other feature film credits include Xanadu, Two Of A Kind, It’s My Party, and Sordid Lives.

Throughout her career, the much-loved star has held many humanitarian and environmental causes close to her heart. Olivia served as Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations Environment Programme, was the co-founder of Children’s Health Environmental Coalition (now Healthy Child, Healthy World) and, in 1992 she created National Tree Day in Australia, which is responsible for planting more than 10 million trees since its beginning. Most recently she co-founded One Tree Per Child, an international school initiative with the goal of having every child under the age of ten plant at least one tree.

In 1992, Olivia was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her personal triumph against cancer led her to announce her partnership with Austin Health and the creation of the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre in her hometown of Melbourne, Australia. The Centre opened its doors in 2012 and provides a comprehensive range of services and facilities for cancer treatment, education, training and research as well as a dedicated wellness center.

Her latest recording, “LIV ON,” is a collaborative, inspiring new CD with friends Beth Nielsen Chapman and Amy Sky. The critically acclaimed CD is intended for those who wish to transcend loss while walking a journey toward newfound meaning and hope.

With Olivia’s current and ongoing projects and philanthropic endeavors, her worldwide popularity is as strong as ever and she’s looking forward to returning to Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in October.

Café Tacvba is widely recognized as Mexico’s leading alternative rock band and is considered one of the most influential alternative groups to come out of Latin America, spearheading a non-conformist musical movement with their blending of elements such as rock, indigenous folk, electronic and punk music. Hot on the heels of their new studio album Jei Beibi and its 1970’s-inspired new single “Que No,” Café Tacvba is coming to The Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Saturday, October 21, 2017.

Starting out in the ‘80s as a garage band of graphic design students in the northern Mexico City suburb of Satélite, the band took the name Café Tacuba (changed later to Café Tacvba) in 1989. Their flair for presenting a mix of rock, new wave and regional Mexican sounds with light-hearted irreverence made them a sensation in the Mexico City club scene.

Café Tacvba has always been known for innovation and, as such, no Café Tacvba album is like another.  Each album feels like a reinvention, whether it’s the seminal Re with its wide range and dramatic style-switching (earning it comparisons with the Beatles’ White Album), the experimental electronica of the two-disc Revés/YoSoy or the lyrically introspective El Objeto Antes Llamado Disco.

Being compelling as a live band is in the DNA of Café Tacvba. They originated as a live act with a cult following, refining their music through multiple performances before ever recording. Their creative energy on stage seems boundless and with their playfulness and exuberance, they can connect with any audience in front of them.
