Chicago     

Enjoy an evening of musical hits by the classic rock band Chicago! Hailed as one of the most important bands in music since the dawn of rock and roll, this legendary band soared in as the highest-charting American band in Billboard Magazine’s Top 125 Artists of All Time. Chicago is the first American rock band to chart Top 40 albums for six consecutive decades! They’ll take the stage at the Owensboro Sportscenter on Thursday, May 23 at 7 p.m. and tickets can be purchased right here for $39. 

Queen Tribute Band    

In the history of music, few voices have been as great as the legendary Freddie Mercury’s. But if there’s a close second, it’s Marc Martel. This Canadian singer seems to be Mercury’s very own reincarnation. This riveting show focuses on the diverse body of Queen’s greatest hits, and you’ll hear everything from “Bohemian Rhapsody” to “We Will Rock You” to the euphoric “We Are The Champions.” But you’ll also get classics such as the stadium-shaking David Bowie collaboration, “Under Pressure” and the soulful “Somebody To Love.” And that’s just a few of the amazing songs on this setlist. So if you never got to see Queen perform live, do yourself a favor and see One Vision of Queen featuring Marc Martel. Tickets are $44 and the show will be held at RiverPark Center on May 25 at 7 p.m.
