“I’m so excited. This is thrilling for us to be a part of this extraordinary experience,” said Faith at a press conference Tuesday (Aug. 7) at the Venetian Theatre (pictured above). “The Venetian has welcomed us in such a gracious way. We’re creating a show that is going to be remarkable for our fans. But I think it is going to be one of the most remarkable experiences for us, as well.”
This is being called the biggest musical event ever held at the Venetian, which opened in 1999 and is currently home to “The Phantom of the Opera” and “Blue Man Group.” The gargantuan hotel and casino is just next door to the Wynn Las Vegas, where Garth Brooks’ weekend shows began in December of 2009 and are currently slated to run through this fall. And down the road at Caesar’s Palace, Shania Twain will be starting her concert residency this December, as well.
If history is any indication, the McGraws’ Sin City shows are almost guaranteed to sell out. The couple’s 2000 Soul2Soul Tour was the highest grossing country music tour that year, while their 2006 Soul2Soul II Tour broke the record for the highest grossing country tour of all time. The couple, who will celebrate their 16th wedding anniversary this October, can’t wait to share the stage again.
“We’re excited about building this show from the ground up,” says Tim, who promises “cutting edge production” and different elements from any other tour they’ve done before. One of those changes, he hints, is that instead of separate sets, they’ll share the stage for every song. “This show is all about us together,” the “Truck Yeah” singer promises.
Pre-sale tickets go on sale tomorrow (Aug. 8) for Tim and Faith’s fan club members, Clear Channel subscribers and Venetian Grazie members. The general ticket sales begin August 13, with prices ranging from $95.50 to $295.50.
The Boot will have an exclusive interview with Faith and Tim about their Vegas concert series later this week.
