Collectively,
they’ve sold 70 million albums, won eight Grammy Awards, 14 Country Music
Association Awards, 14 American Music Awards, seven People’s Choice Awards and
26 Academy of Country Music Awards.
Today, at a live ‘town-hall’ press conference, The Venetian® Las Vegas
announced the biggest musical event in its history – Tim McGraw and Faith Hill
“Soul2Soul.” This limited engagement,
which opens on Dec. 7 and covers 10 weekends through April 2013, will take
place in the 1,815-seat Venetian Theater.
A ticket pre-sale will begin tomorrow and tickets for the general public
will go on sale Monday, Aug. 13.
“Soul2Soul”
at The Venetian will mark the first time in six years that McGraw and Hill have
performed together in the United States. “Soul2Soul” will feature an all-new
production with innovative lighting and set design technologies that were
synonymous with the “Soul2Soul” concerts.
The Venetian Theater will also be modified to accommodate this new
production. These “Soul2Soul” concerts
will include many of the no. 1 hits that have made them, both in their own
right, two of the most significant entertainers of our generation.
“We
are creating a show that will be completely different from what we've done
before - and might ever do again," said Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
"In arenas and stadiums, you're always faced with the challenge of finding
ways to make people feel closer to the action, no matter where they might be
sitting. Now everyone will be close, so it opens up all kinds of creative
possibilities and we're looking forward to exploring those so that we can
really give our fans something truly special."
“It’s
not every day that Las Vegas welcomes such stellar star power to the Strip,”
said John Caparella, president and chief operating officer of The Venetian, The
Palazzo & Sands Expo. “Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are country music’s first
couple and we are proud to have such extraordinary talent. When they hit our
stage in December it will surely be the hottest ticket in town.”
McGraw
and Hill have been dominating the music charts since the early ‘90s and began
performing together in 2000 in their record-breaking “Soul2Soul” tour, becoming
that year’s top grossing and most successful U.S. tour. Their success continued
in 2006 when “Soul2Soul II” returned to the road. It became the highest
grossing country music tour of all time, the most attended of the year in any
musical genre and remains the highest grossing multi-year North American tour
in country music history.
McGraw,
whose hits include “Live Like You Were Dying,” “Everywhere” and “Real Good
Man,” has sold more than 40 million records worldwide and dominated the charts
with 32 no. 1 singles. He's won three
Grammy Awards, 14 Academy of Country Music Awards, 11 Country Music Association
Awards, 10 American Music Awards, three People's Choice Awards and numerous
other honors. With 7.8 million spins at radio, McGraw was deemed Artist of the
Decade from 2000-2010 by Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems. Also an accomplished actor, McGraw’s film
credits include “Country Strong,” the Academy Award nominated “The Blind Side,”
“Four Christmases,” “The Kingdom,”
“Flicka” and “Friday Night Lights.”
Hill’s
nineteen-year career has been highlighted by the sale of more than 30 million
records worldwide, during which time she has celebrated thirteen no. 1 singles
and twenty no. 1 videos. She was the first female artist to have three studio
albums – 1999’s “Breathe,” 2002’s “Cry” and 2005’s “Fireflies” – all debut
consecutively at no. 1 on Billboard’s Top Pop Album Chart and Country
Chart. Hill is a five-time Grammy Award
winner, who has also won three Country Music Association Awards, 12 Academy of
Country Music Awards, four American Music Awards, and four People’s Choice
Awards. For the fifth consecutive year,
Hill is once again the voice of NBC’s Sunday Night Football’s weekly show open.
