Undefeated NABF Super Bantamweight Champion Randy "El Matador" Caballero (24-0, 14 KOs) has sustained an injury to his right ankle in training camp and regretfully has been forced to withdraw from his upcoming 10-round, headlining bout and first title defense against Oscar " El Jaguar" Negrete (16-0, 6 KOs) for the June 30 edition of Golden Boy Boxing on ESPN.
“I want to apologize to my opponent, Oscar Negrete and to all my fans who really wanted to watch this fight,” said Randy Caballero. “With all that has happened in my career, I didn’t want to risk an ankle injury hurting my entire career. I am sure that once my ankle heals and with the support of all my fans, I will be back at 100 percent.”
The card will still take place on June 30 at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino and Golden Boy Promotions will now feature Negrete versus experienced contender Jesus "Estrella" Ruiz (35-8-5, 24 KOs) for a 10-round bantamweight main event for the vacant NABF Bantamweight title. Ruiz was last seen in the ring going toe to toe against Caballero for the vacant NABF super bantamweight title, in a rugged battle that went the distance.
“I am a little sad that the fight against Caballero fell through because that was the fight that I really wanted, but I am excited that I still get to fight on June 30th for the NABF title in my weight division,” said Oscar Negrete. “Ruiz is a fierce warrior in the ring – I’ve seen him in the ring against notable opponents like Leo Santa Cruz, Diego De La Hoya, and most recently Caballero. He is an opponent that gives all he has, and we will both be ready to put on a great and exciting show.”
Additionally, former IBF and WBO Featherweight Champion, Mexican actor and circus performer Jorge “El Maromero” Paez (79-14-5, 51 KOs) will be the VIP guest for this June 30th Golden Boy Boxing on ESPN card. Paez will be on hand to meet fans; sign autographs and take pictures inside the Fantasy Springs Special Events Center before the ESPN broadcast begins. The meet-and-greet is open to the public with the purchase of a ticket to the event.
Negrete vs. Ruiz, a 10-round fight for the vacant NABF Bantamweight title, is presented by Golden Boy Promotions. The event is sponsored by Tecate, BORN BOLD and Hennessey, Never Stop, Never Settle. Doors open at 4:00 p.m. PT and the first fight begins at 4:15 p.m. PT. The ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes broadcast begins live from Fantasy Springs Resort Casino starting at 10:00 p.m. ET/7: 00 p.m. PT. ESPN3 live stream of the fight will begin at approximately 8:30 p.m. EST/5:30 p.m. PST.

Among music legends, Nile Rodgers is truly exceptional.  As the co-founder of CHIC and a multiple Grammy Award-winning producer, he is a cultural icon and a music innovator with more than 200 hit singles to his name and 300 albums sold.  CHIC featuring Nile Rodgers will be bringing that musical prowess to the Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Saturday, July 15, 2017.

As a co-founder of CHIC, Nile Rodgers is an innovator who pioneered a musical language that sparked the advent of hip-hop with the smash hit single "Good Times." CHIC also generated groundbreaking pop hits like “Le Freak” and won eleven Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominations and most recently Rodgers was inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with the Award for Musical Excellence.

Nile Rodgers later went on to produce career-defining albums for David Bowie (Let's Dance), Madonna (Like A Virgin), Diana Ross (diana), and Sister Sledge (We Are Family).  These seminal productions, plus his work with artists like Duran Duran, INXS, Mick Jagger, Grace Jones, Steve Winwood, Peter Gabriel, The B-52s, and Michael Jackson have sold over 300 million albums and 50 million singles worldwide.  Nile Rodgers continues to be relevant today by forging innovative, trendsetting collaborations with Daft Punk, Avicii, Disclosure, and Sam Smith that reflect the cutting edge of contemporary music.

Rodgers is currently recording It's About Time, the first new CHIC album in 25 years. "I'll Be There," the album's first single, went to #1 on the Billboard Dance Chart while the accompanying video generated nearly three million views in less than a week. Since 2015, he’s produced, performed, and hosted the annual FREAK OUT! LET’S DANCE! Festival in New York and London, an all-star concert series distinguished by an eclectic, genre-spanning set featuring performances by headliners like Beck, Bette Midler, Janelle Monáe, Keith Urban, and Pharrell Williams.

The full scope of Nile Rodgers’ career is immense and he’s still going strong.  Rolling Stone recently named Rodgers one of “the 50 Most Important People in Electronic Dance Music.”  Indeed, Rodgers unrivaled track record is just a glimpse of what’s yet to come.

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.

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.

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.

The Rock Yard at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino has become the premiere setting for live rock ‘n’ roll music in the Coachella Valley, developing a following of fans that recognize the venue as their favorite source of live rock music.
