CBS RADIO TO HOST STAR-STUDDED NYE SHOWS IN VEGAS
CBS Radio will ring in 2018 with New Year’s Eve weekend shows at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas headlined by Zac Brown Band (12/29), Duran Duran (12/30) and Foo Fighters (12/31). The three shows will go down at the 3200-capacity Chelsea, the Cosmopolitan’s showcase room. There will also be a special performance on 12/29 by Zac Brown’s dance-pop side project, Sir Rosevelt.
“This New Year’s Eve weekend we’re encouraging music fans, travelers and everyone in between to get back to Las Vegas,” said Michael Martin, CBS Radio SVP, Music Initiatives. “As the healing process begins, the city’s penchant for spirit and resiliency perseveres and comes back stronger every day. Together with these incredible bands and the Cosmopolitan, CBS Radio is extremely proud to present a celebratory weekend in honor of the great city of Vegas.”
Duran Duran’s John Taylor also had a comment for the occasion: “We are so excited to be part of this special New Year's weekend along with the Foo Fighters and Zac Brown Band. To celebrate the start of a new year in Las Vegas is a thrill and a privilege. There is nowhere we would rather be than with our fans in that great city. As one of our favorite places to play on tour and one that embodies the spirit of entertainment and celebration unlike any other in the world, we welcome the opportunity to remind everyone that love and music together has great healing power. See you at the show!”
