The Kings of Country Rock is a two-hour stage spectacular celebrating the music of two of America’s greatest country rock bands - the Eagles and Creedence Clearwater Revival. Part one takes audiences on a journey through the Eagles’ timeless hits, including Take It Easy, Desperado, Hotel California, and Life in the Fast Lane, all faithfully reproduced by world-class musicians. Part two shifts into high gear with CCR’s chart-topping classics such as Proud Mary, Bad Moon Rising, Have You Ever Seen the Rain, and Green River, capturing the raw energy that made them platinum-selling legends. More than just a concert, this is an immersive rock experience, brought to life by a cast of internationally acclaimed performers. Climb aboard Proud Mary and cruise down the Dark Desert Highway for an unforgettable night of 1970s country rock anthems that will have audiences singing along from start to finish.
