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, May 25, 2018.

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 studio album Jei Beibi and its 1970’s-inspired single “Que No,” Café Tacvba is coming to The Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Saturday, May 26, 2018.

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.

Billy Idol was an early architect of the sound, style, and fury of punk rock. His lip-curling sneer and fist-pumping persona vaulted him into the mainstream as one of the most recognizable faces in pop music and now he’s bringing his latest world tour to The Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Sunday, May 27, 2018.

Billy Idol has sold 40 million albums and has scored numerous platinum albums worldwide.  He’s had nine Top-40 singles in the U.S. and 10 in the U.K. including the smash hits “Dancing With Myself, “White Wedding,” “Rebel Yell,” “Mony Mony,” “Eyes Without A Face,” “Flesh For Fantasy,” and “Cradle Of Love.”

Billy Idol was responsible for some of punk rock’s most memorable, literate, and evocative moments and created a pioneering new sound by bringing the punk rock spirit of the 1970’s to the dance floor, and then going on to fashion an immediately identifiable musical blueprint that integrates club-land throb, rockabilly desperation, and rock ’n’ roll decadence.

Idol’s New York Times bestselling 2014 autobiography Dancing With Myself is an electric, intelligent, brutally honest and entirely self-written account of Billy Idol’s journey to fame, from his early days as front man of the pioneering UK punk band Generation X to a long and often decadent life that was lived while loving sex, drugs, rock ’n’ roll, and motorcycles.

Kings & Queens of the Underground is Billy Idol’s first album of new material in nearly a decade. Released in 2014, the album’s sound, which includes incredible contributions from Idol’s longtime collaborator and lead guitarist Steve Stevens, is instantly familiar to lovers of classic Billy Idol, while announcing a firm step into the future. Produced by Trevor Horn (with two tracks co-written and produced by 2017 Grammy Producer of The Year winner Greg Kurstin), the album is full of thumping, cinematic songs about sin, redemption and the love of rock ‘n’ roll.

Mercito "No Mercy" Gesta (31-2-2, 17 KOs), the former world title challenger of Cebu, Philippines will battle 135-pound contender Roberto "Tito" Manzanarez (35-1, 28 KOs) of Phoenix, Arizona in a 10-round fight for the NABO Lightweight Title in the main event of the June 14 edition of Golden Boy Boxing on ESPN at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, Calif.  ESPN will air the fights beginning at 8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. PT, and stream live on ESPN3 starting at 7:00 p.m. ET/4:00 p.m. PT. ESPN Deportes will air the fights on Friday, June 15 at 9:00 p.m. ET/ 6:00 p.m. PT.

Gesta, who now calls San Diego, Calif. his home, is a 30-year-old contender who has defeated quality opponents such as Gilberto "El Flaco" Gonzalez and Martin "El Brochas" Honorio. The southpaw will return after his second world title opportunity, which was against WBA, WBC Diamond and Ring Magazine World Champion Jorge "El Niño de Oro" Linares, considered the very best lightweight in the world at the time. In his first shot at a title, Gesta fought Miguel "Titere" Vazquez for the IBF Lightweight World Championship.

"I can't wait to get back into the ring and put on a great show against Roberto Manzanarez," said Mercito Gesta. "Roberto is a young, tall, talented, and a hungry fighter with an outstanding fight record.  I've been training hard with my dad, my team, and Coach Freddie Roach, and come June 14, Robert and I will give the boxing fans a great fight!"

Manzanarez is a solid contender who, though born in the United States, has spent most of his career fighting in Mexico. The 23-year-old pugilist has defeated former world champion Gamaliel "El Platano" Diaz and former world title contender Hector "Charro Negro" Gonzalez. Manzanarez is ready to make his name in the lightweight division in his first main event on ESPNand first attempt for a regional title.

"This fight is very important for me," said Roberto Manzanarez. "All fights are important, but this one is the most important one because winning this fight will earn me more opportunities. I'm working on everything in the gym. I know the style of Mercito Gesta and I know that he's fast. But I'm working very hard to win this fight."

The co-main event will feature an exciting battle between two undefeated Golden Boy Promotions prospects as Edgar "Kid Neza" Valerio (13-0, 8 KOs) takes on Manny "Chato" Robles III (15-0, 7 KOs) for the vacant NABF Featherweight Title.

Valerio is a heavy-handed prospect who earned his undefeated record by defeating one tough opponent after another. The 23-year-old native of Nezahualcóyotl, Mexico is ready to be considered a contender, but only if he can get past his Golden Boy Promotions stablemate.

"I am thankful for another opportunity," said Edgar Valerio. "I will give the fans a great fight. Without a doubt this clash of undefeated prospects will exceed expectations and emotions. I await a great productive night of boxing for my team and myself."

Robles III is a 23-year-old native of Southern California who has steadily built his resume since making his professional debut in 2012. Robles III made his headlining debut in Sept. 2017 when he defeated Jose Estrella in an LA FIGHT CLUB event, and he'll be one victory away from contender status if triumphant on June 14.

"Valerio is a good, talented fighter, but it's nothing I haven't seen before," said
Manny Robles III. "I never underestimate anyone that's why I'm training my butt off. I understand this is the biggest fight of my career. The only thing I'm worried about is my opponent and being victorious."

Former two-division world champion Daniel Ponce De Leon will be the special VIP guest for this action-packed event. The native of Ciudad Cuauhtemoc, Chihuahua, Mexico made his name in the sport of boxing as one of Golden Boy Promotions' first prospects and champions, defeating the likes of Orlando "El Fenomeno" Cruz and Jhonny Gonzalez in his celebrated career. Ponce De Leon will be in attendance for this event to meet fans, sign autographs and take pictures inside the Fantasy Springs Special Events Center before the ESPN transmission begins. The meet-and-greet is open to the public with the purchase of a ticket to the event.

The undercard of this event will feature prospects from around the nation. Herbert "Ace" Acevedo (14-2, 6 KOs), a native of Garden City, Kansas, will take on David Thomas (6-2-1, 2 KOs) in a six-round super lightweight battle. Rommel Caballero (0-0-1) of Coachella, Calif. will return in a four-round super featherweight clash, while Luis Feliciano (6-0, 3 KOs) of Utuado, Puerto Rico will participate in an eight-round 140-pound bout. Opponents for these two prospects will be announced shortly.

Gesta vs. Manzanarez is a 10-round fight for the NABO Lightweight Championship presented by Golden Boy Promotions.

Stu Cook and Doug “Cosmo” Clifford and their band Creedence Clearwater Revisited have taken on a startling life of their own. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rhythm section (bass and drums respectively) from the legendary group Creedence Clearwater Revival launched the Creedence Clearwater Revisited project in 1995 to once again perform live Creedence Clearwater Revival hits such as “Proud Mary,” “Bad Moon Rising,” and “Down On The Corner” and they’re bringing the tour to the Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Saturday, June 16, 2018.

Since its formation, the reaction to Creedence Clearwater Revisited’s concerts has been astounding and driven in part by a generation of kids who, as Cosmo says, “weren’t even born when the music came out.” Having now toured North America, South America, Central America, New Zealand, Australia, Europe and Asia, knocking out audiences with astounding concerts jam packed with songs that are still a staple of radio and movie soundtracks, Creedence Clearwater Revisited has come a long way.

As fans who have experienced a Creedence Clearwater Revisited concert can attest, Stu and Cosmo found the right players. The newest touring member of the band is lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Dan McGuinness.  The purity, power and range of Dan’s soaring voice hits right to the heart.  Lead guitarist Kurt Griffey has recorded and toured with top musicians including members of the Eagles, Foreigner, the Moody Blues, Lynyrd Skynryd, and Journey. Talented multi-instrumentalist Steve Gunner rounds out the group. As Cosmo puts it, “Gun provides live all the overdubs that were on the records. He plays keyboard, acoustic guitar, percussion, harmonica and sings the high harmonies.” Stu and Cosmo and their band Creedence Clearwater Revisited add a new chapter to their legacy with vibrant and exhilarating energy and pure American spirit.

Pandora and Yuri have collaborated on projects since the 1980’s and fans all over the world have been clamoring to see them on stage together. They are now ready to answer their fans’ wishes and have embarked on a tour that will bring them together on the Special Events Center stage at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Saturday, June 23, 2018.

Pandora and Yuri are proud to present their JUNTITAS tour, which has enraptured audiences around the world.  Featuring songs like “Que te Pasa” and “No Puedo Dejar de Pensar en Ti,” fans at The Juntitas Tour get excited beginning with the first note they hear. Those in attendance have said that it’s the perfect merger of Yuri and Pandora.

The friendship between Yuri and the women of Pandora are obvious from the moment they step on stage. The authenticity and spectacular voices of these Mexican women captivate fans with songs like "Es Ella mas Que Yo,” "Dejala," "En Carne Viva," "Como una Mariposa," “Como te va mi Amor” and “La Maldita Primavera," among many others. The women of Pandora say that the tour “…has been a wonderful experience. It has refreshed (us), it has filled (us) with enthusiasm, it has moved (us) a lot.”  Yuri adds, “We’re putting everything into this tour. We are a super-harmonious work team and we get along so well.”

Accompanied by a mariachi band during a portion of the show, Pandora and Yuri present a set dedicated to Mexican music with songs like "El Viajero,” "Se me Olvido Otra Vez,” "Cucurrucuco Paloma,” "Mexico Lindo y Querido" and others that have been known to give goose bumps to everyone in the audience. The show then closes with an emotional interpretation of the songs of Mexican idol Juan Gabriel.  The audience at Fantasy Springs will come away from the Pandora and Yuri show filled with love and awe.

Fresh off their recent win for Best Country Duo or Group Performance at the 2018 Grammy Awards for their blockbuster single “Better Man” (written by Taylor Swift), Little Big Town shows no signs of slowing down. They’ve just announced a new leg of their latest tour and it’s bringing them to the Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Friday, June 29, 2018.

Little Big Town, the reigning CMA and ACM Vocal Group of the Year, recently wrapped their history-making “Little Big Town at the Mother Church” residency at Nashville’s famed Ryman auditorium. Known for their pitch-perfect harmonies, the group has had the same four members since its founding: Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Jimi Westbrook and Phillip Sweet. Their musical style relies heavily on four-part vocal harmonies, with all four members famously alternating as lead vocalists.

In 2015, the band achieved a career defining milestone when their hit single ‘Girl Crush’ took Best Country Song at the Grammy and CMA Awards, and went on to become America’s best-selling country single of the year. With albums Tornado (2012) and Pain Killer (2014), Little Big Town has achieved huge success with multiple chart-topping singles like “Pontoon”, “Tornado” and “Day Drinking”.  Their most recent albums Wanderlust (2016) and The Breaker (2017) continue that chart-topping tradition.

Inducted into the iconic Grand Ole Opry in 2014 by none other than Reba McIntire, the group has chalked up in excess of 40 award nominations, and in the past five years has taken home over 20 awards, including multiple Grammy’s, CMA and ACM Awards, and even an Emmy Award.

Little Big Town is one of the biggest country acts in the US right now and audiences can look forward to their hit-laden repertoire and award-winning stage presence at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in June.

With a career that encompasses five Grammys, numerous chart successes and personal and professional accolades, as well as collaborations with some of the world’s most prominent artists, Michael McDonald remains an enduring force in popular music and he is coming to the Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Saturday, July 7, 2018.


Hailing from St. Louis, Michael McDonald arrived in Los Angeles in the early 1970s, honing his talents as a studio musician before becoming an integral part of Steely Dan. In the mid-’70s McDonald was invited to join the Doobie Brothers as the band redefined their sound with McDonald serving as singer, keyboardist and songwriter on such Top 40 singles as “Takin’ It To The Streets,” “It Keeps You Runnin’,” “Minute By Minute” and “What A Fool Believes.” Throughout the ’80s and ’90s McDonald’s solo career took off with a string of hits including “I Keep Forgettin’ (Every Time You’re Near),” “Sweet Freedom,” “On My Own” (with Patti LaBelle) and the Grammy-winning James Ingram duet “Yah Mo B There.” McDonald has performed with a who’s-who of critically acclaimed artists across a number of genres, including Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Elton John, Joni Mitchell, Vince Gill and Grizzly Bear.

Michael McDonald’s latest album Wide Open finds him collaborating with a number of special guests including the legendary Branford Marsalis. McDonald’s first album of original material in 17 years, Wide Open is comprised largely of material written over a number of years in-between projects and recorded in McDonald’s Nashville studio with an extensive cast of Nashville session musicians. The record follows a trio of albums of R&B and soul covers McDonald recorded for the fabled Motown label, the most recent being 2008’s Soul Speak.

Grammy® winning artist and global superstar Pitbull brings his electrifying show to The Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Saturday, July 21, 2018 at 8pm.

From landing numerous #1 hits in over 15 countries, 10 billion YouTube/VEVO views, 70 million single sales and 6 million in album sales, Pitbull does not stop. With his tenth full-length album Climate Change and his first-ever Greatest Hits still going strong, “Mr. Worldwide” is looking forward to his tour stop at Fantasy Springs.

He hit the ground running with 2009’s Rebelution included the hit single "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)", which was his first internationally popular song. 2011’s Planet Pit debuted at #7 on the Billboard Top 200 and spawned one of the best-selling singles of all-time —“Give Me Everything” [feat. Ne-Yo, Afrojack, & Nayer]. The anthem would be his first to top Billboard’s Hot 100 and go quintuple-platinum. His 2013 Meltdown EP gave the world “Timber” [featuring Kesha], #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 for three weeks straight and certified six-times platinum. 2014’s Globalization boasted hit “Fireball” [featuring John Ryan] and the platinum “Time of Our Lives” [featuring Ne-Yo]. Always remembering where he came from, his second Spanish-language album, Dale, featured some of his biggest international songs, including the gold-certified, “Piensas” and “El Taxi” and the platinum single “Como Yo Le Doy.” 2017 saw the release of his tenth full-length album Climate Change and Greatest Hits, “Globalization,” his 24/7 commercial-free channel on Sirius XM (Ch.13), has become one of the platform’s fastest-growing channels following its launch.

Continuously giving back and cultivating success among the next generation, he serves as the brand ambassador for Sports Leadership Arts and Management Academy (SLAM!)— charter schools with locations in Little Havana, Miami and Las Vegas, Nevada.

After more than two decades and 20 million albums sold globally, Counting Crows are celebrating 25 years of making music by hitting the road for a worldwide “25 YEARS AND COUNTING” tour, which will bring them to the Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Friday, July 13, 2018.

"The nice thing about having 25 years of music to celebrate and seven studio albums we absolutely love to choose from is that we can play a different show every night,” said Crows vocalist Adam Duritz. In addition to celebrating 25 years of music in 2018, Duritz has also launched a new podcast, “Underwater Sunshine!” – a series of conversations between noted non-journalist Duritz and his pal, author and music journalist James Campion, about life, music, and whatever comes into their large brains. The weekly podcast, published every Monday, currently holds a five-star rating and is available on iTunes.

Counting Crows, fronted by lead singer Adam Duritz, has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide after exploding onto the music scene with their multiplatinum breakout album August and Everything After featuring the worldwide smash “Mr. Jones” in 1993. Hits like “Round Here,” “A Long December,” “Hanginaround,” and their cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Big Yellow Taxi” soon followed and their success multiplied.

The band released their seventh studio album Somewhere Under Wonderland in September of 2014, which earned critical acclaim as one of the “band’s best,” scored a top 10 debut and was recognized as one of the group’s “stronger works (USA Today).” It also claimed a spot on Rolling Stone’s “Top 50 Songs of 2014” list with the track “Dislocation.

Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening was formed in 2009 to pay tribute to Bonham's father, legendary Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham who died in 1980. "It was meant to be part of my way of expressing my love for music and expressing myself with a tip of the hat to my father," Jason said in a 2017 interview. He continued, “As long as you guys want me to do it, I'll do it. It's really fan-based…it's about love for Led Zeppelin.” Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening will bring that love for Led Zeppelin to the Special Events Center Stage at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Friday, August 3rd, 2018.

At the early age of five, Jason could play the drums with skill. When he was 17 he became a member of the band Air Race, a group that signed a record contract with Atlantic Records, recorded one album, and opened for big names like Queen, Meat Loaf, Ted Nugent, and AC/DC.

In 1988, Jason took his father's spot in the televised, first-ever Led Zeppelin reunion at the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert, which included Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones. Later that year, he went on to tour with Page and recorded the album Outrider with him.

Jason teamed up with greats like Paul Rodgers, Slash, David Gilmour, Jeff Beck and others in 1993 to work on Muddy Water Blues: A Tribute to Muddy Waters. The record's success brought Jason a nomination for a Grammy Award. A year later, Jason, along with Paul Rodgers and Slash, appeared at the memorable Woodstock II super concert. That same year, he recorded a new album, Peace 4 Me, with his group Motherland.

Jason represented his father when Led Zeppelin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in January 1995, with his sister Zoe by his side. He soon put together another solo project that culminated with In the Name of My Father - The Zepset album, which featured the songs of Led Zeppelin. Proceeds from the set went to charity. He followed that album up with When You See the Sun.

Jason Bonham’s contributions to the world of rock are immeasurable and he does everything he can to keep the memory of his famous father alive, while demonstrating amazing musical abilities in his own right. He’s looking forward to bringing Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening to the Coachella Valley.

TLC is the undisputed best-selling American girl-group of all time, and they’re teaming up with En Vogue, one of the top five best-selling American female music groups in history, to bring their fans one night of incredible music at The Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Saturday, September 15, 2018.

One of the greatest legacies in music history can be summed up by just three letters—TLC. Those characters merely hint at the talent of Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, and the late Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, but they immediately evoke an unparalleled journey nonetheless. That journey encompasses immortal anthems such as “Waterfalls,” “Creep,” “No Scrubs,” and “Unpretty,” to name a few, as well as sales of 70 million records worldwide, four GRAMMY Awards, two Diamond-selling albums among a total of four multiplatinum albums, ten Top 10 singles, and four Number 1 singles. Meanwhile, the VH1 original film CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story chronicled their rise and broke records as the highest-rated television film premiere of 2013 and the highest-rated original premiere on the network between consistent touring.

TLC has now released their first album in 15 years, titled simply TLC. “We’re still TLC,” affirms Tionne. “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it. We kept the same recipe, which is strong lyrical content and talking about things that affect all of us. When you have time between albums, you have more to speak on. We talked about what was on our minds and hearts.”

En Vogue, with current members Cindy Herron-Braggs, Terry Ellis and Rhona Bennett is recognized as one of the top 5 highest selling American female music groups in history, En Vogue has sold over 20 million albums to date. Their effortless transition into the digital age, complemented by their effortless chic, has garnered the group over 30 million streams and 26 million plus YouTube views on their Top 6 hit smashes such as “Hold On”, “Free Your Mind”, “Never Gonna Get It”, “Giving Him Something He Can Feel”, “Don’t Let Go” and “Whatta Man” (feat. Salt N Pepa).
