This month, the renowned musician Fogerty sold-out eight shows, wowed audiences and received rave reviews at The Venetian Theatre.

“Rock ‘n’ roll is alive and well! One of the most iconic singers in music history treated his fans to eight nights worth of tremendous music. This residency was excellent in every single way and we love being in business with Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, John Fogerty so much that we’ve invited him back for more shows this fall, ” said Bobby Reynolds, vice president of booking at AEG Live Las Vegas.
Attendees will enjoy performances of iconic Creedence Clearwater Revival classics including “Fortunate Son,” “Have You Ever Seen The Rain?” and “Up Around The Bend” as well as solo hits such as “Centerfield, “Mystic Highway” and many more. Performances will take place September 14 – October 1, 2016.
“The amount of positive feedback we have received from guests and fans about John’s sold out residency has been overwhelming. We hope fans who missed those shows will get the chance to see his passion and talent in the fall,” said George Markantonis, president and chief operating officer of The Venetian, The Palazzo and Sands Expo Convention Center.

“When you start the show with “Proud Mary” and don’t have to worry about what to do for an encore? That’s a catalog.” – Las Vegas Review-Journal
“This theater might have been built for the Phantom and Andrew Lloyd Webber, but Fogerty shook the place like Jerry Lee Lewis.” – Las Vegas Sun
With a career spanning more than 50 years, Fogerty is hailed as one of the most influential musicians in rock history. Fogerty wrote, sang and produced numerous classic hits including “Born on the Bayou,” “Green River,” “Proud Mary” and “Bad Moon Rising,” which lead him to be named one of the 100 Greatest Guitarists (No. 40), 100 Greatest Songwriters (No. 40) and 100 Greatest Singers (No. 72) by Rolling Stone Magazine. Earning induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame, he now adds author to his long list of accomplishments with his memoir Fortunate Son: My Life, My Music released last fall.
