The O'Jays are bringing their final tour to Las Vegas23 August 2023(PRESS RELEASE) -- The O’Jays are bringing their Last Stop on the Love Train final tour to Las Vegas as they’ll perform in the Pearl Concert Theater at the Palms Casino Resort on Sunday, 22 October 2023 at 8 p.m. After more than 60 years electrifying people all over the world, the mighty, legendary, R&B/Soul kings, The O’Jays, are set to embark on their final tour, featuring original members Eddie Levert Sr and Walter Williams Sr, who have been singing together since they were kids. Tickets starting at $45 (not including applicable service charges or fees) go on sale to the public Friday, 25 August at 10 a.m. PT at ticketmaster.com. Club Serrano members and Live Nation and Pearl Concert Theater customers will receive access to a presale running Thursday, 24 August from 10 a.m. PT to 10 p.m. PT. The O’Jays are touring history, a connection to an era and a sound that formed the soundtrack for the lives of several generations. In 1972, Gamble & Huff, a team of producers and songwriters with whom The O’Jays had been working for several years, signed the group to their Philadelphia International label. With this magic formula, often called The Sound of Philadelphia, The O’Jays scored their first number 1 and million-selling song, “Backstabbers,” followed by more chart-topping pop and R&B singles including “Love Train,” “Put Your Hands Together,” “For The Love of Money,” “I Love Music,” “Darlin’ Darlin’ Baby (Sweet, Tender, Love),” “Livin’ For The Weekend” and “Use Ta Be My Girl.” This success propelled The O’Jays to be the first black vocal group to perform in arenas throughout America during the ‘70s and ‘80s. Eddie Levert Sr, Walter Williams Sr, and Eric Nolan Grant, who joined the group in 1995, continue to thrill fans today. Throughout their career The O’Jays have achieved 10 Gold albums, 9 Platinum albums and 10 #1 hits. It’s been a long journey but thanks to the fans the LOVE TRAIN is still going strong. The O’Jays were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2005. They were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2005 and honored with BET’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009. In 2013, they were inducted into The Official R&B Music Hall of Fame. |
