George Strait, the “King of Country,” has announced he will play two final shows for 2018, which will be held Dec. 7 and 8 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. He’ll be accompanied by special guests—and fellow Texans—Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen for the appearances.
The shows are part of his The Strait To Vegas series, which started just six shows in 2016 and was extended with 10 more in 2017. The shows in December will be the last of 2018. Strait previously announced performances in Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas in 2018 shows including May 27 at Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans; June 1 and 2 at BOK Center in Tulsa; and June 3 at Frank Erwin Center in Austin.
The three artists shared the stage earlier this month for the first shows of 2018 after initially coming together last year for Hand in Hand Texas: A Benefit for Hurricane Relief, which was a humanitarian campaign assembled by Strait—a night that ultimately raised tens of millions of dollars for hurricane relief efforts.
This isn’t the only charitable endeavor Strait has recently engaged in. He also participated in the Country Rising benefit show in Nashville, which raised an additional $4 million for victims of the hurricanes and the mass shooting in Las Vegas.
Strait’s 2018 will also be remarkable for other reasons: He will additionally be recognized by his home state with the prestigious Texan of the Year honor on March 22, in an official ceremony in New Braunfels, Texas, at the New Braunfels Civic/Convention Center.
Tickets for the Vegas shows go on sale Apr. 6. The country icon boasts an incomparable career that spans more than three decades and includes more than 60 No. 1 hits, sales of 70 million albums and countless CMA and ACM Awards.
