Commodores, Pointer Sisters Bring ‘An Evening Of Icons’ Tour To Celebrate Motown’s 65th Birthday
Two legendary music groups, The Commodores and The Pointer Sisters, help celebrate Motown’s 65th anniversary by taking a co-headlining “An Evening of Icons” out for a limited amphitheater run where they’ll bring out some of the biggest funk, soul, R&B and pop hits of all time, with support from The Spinners and El DeBarge on select dates.
The tour, produced by Live Nation and represented by Seth Shomes of Day After Day Productions (DADP), kicks off its first leg July 11 at Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, Illinois, making stops in Wantagh, New York; Raleigh, North Carolina; Tuscaloosa, Alabama; Tampa, Florida, and more before wrapping up in Primm, Nevada on Nov. 30.
Tickets will be available starting with presales beginning on Wednesday, April 17, ahead of the general onsale beginning Friday, April 19 at 10 a.m. local time at LiveNation.com.
“Motown was the place where our dreams took flight,” The Commodores shared in a statement. “Sharing the stage with another legend like The Pointer Sisters as Motown celebrates their 65th anniversary is truly special. We’re proud to continue to celebrate the music that brought us all together!”
The Pointer Sisters added, “65 years of Motown and timeless hits! What a milestone. It’s a joy to be touring with a true Motown treasure, The Commodores. Here’s to the music that continues to move generations!”
Shomes, who not only represents the tour but is a fan, says, “I grew up on the classic songs of The Commodores, The Pointer Sisters, The Spinners, and El DeBarge. … “So to create a tour concept with them as their agent is a bucket list item for me! I couldn’t be prouder to have Day After Day Productions represent their touring careers and it will be a thrill to see so many fans singing along with every word in 2024!”
