Last night, The Chicks, a 13-time GRAMMY® Award-winning, multi-platinum selling global artist, kicked off the first of six shows at Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The superstar trio electrified the packed house with a musical journey through their incredible catalog of hits, including “Ready to Run,” “Cowboy Take Me Away,” “Goodbye Earl,” and several hits from their latest album “Gaslighter.”
Emily Strayer, Natalie Maines, and Martie Maguire
The Chicks, made up of Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines, and Emily Strayer, have grown from a band into a cultural phenomenon since the release of their debut album, WIDE OPEN SPACES, in 1998. They have stirred emotions in fans around the world, making them one of the biggest and most influential bands of our time. The Chicks are among an elite group of artists and the only female group to achieve multiple “diamond” selling (ten million copies) releases, earning universal recognition as the biggest-selling U.S. female band of all time.
Their on-stage reputation has catapulted them to sell over $100 million worth of concert tickets, while outspoken songs like “Goodbye, Earl” and “Not Ready To Make Nice” make it clear that this power trio plays by their own rules. In November 2016, The Chicks performed “Daddy Lessons” alongside Beyoncé at the 50th Anniversary of the Country Music Association Awards and released a studio version of the track to digital outlets the following day.
Limited tickets are still available for the remaining five shows on May 5, 6, 10, 12, and 13 at ticketmaster.com. Live Nation Las Vegas is producing the residency shows, and Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino is the venue for The Chicks’ performances.
Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino is the centerpiece of the famed Las Vegas Strip, with 2,500 beautifully redesigned guest rooms and suites showcasing some of the best views in town, along with endless options of unparalleled shopping, distinguished dining, popular entertainment, and a bustling nightlife. Bakkt Theater is one of the largest theaters on the Vegas Strip and showcases a variety of resident headliners, including superstars like Kelly Clarkson, The Chicks, Jeff Dunham, Keith Urban, and Miranda Lambert.
