Two of the hottest music stars around have announced they will be bringing their tours to Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte.
On Monday, Lady Gaga announced she will be bringing her “Monster Ball Tour” to Charlotte Sept. 18. An on-sale date for the show, near the conclusion of her tour, will be released in the upcoming weeks.
And Tuesday, the arena announced that 16-year-old pop star Justin Bieber will bring his first headlining tour to Charlotte Aug. 8. Sean Kinston will open. Tickets for Bieber’s concert go on sale at 10 a.m. March 27, at the Time Warner Cable Arena box office, 333 E. Trade St., Charlotte, by phone at 1-800-745-3000 and online at www.timewarnercablearena.com and www.ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at all Ticketmaster outlets.
Gaga’s appearance is expected to be as much music as it is theatrical. According to a press release, Gaga’s performance “promises to push the limits of the live concert experience, bringing fans a spectacle even more eye-popping than what they experienced during the thrilling first leg of The Monster Ball.”
Lady Gaga is touring in support of “The Fame Monster,” which was released in November. The album is the follow-up to 2008’s Grammy Award-winning album “The Fame,” which spawned the No. 1 singles “Just Dance” and “Poker Face.” Lady Gaga’s five singles, “Just Dance,” “Poker Face,” “Lovegame,” “Paparazzi,” and “Bad Romance,” have sold more than 30 million singles worldwide.
As for wildly popular Bieber, he’s the first solo artist in history to send four songs from a debut album into the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 prior to the album’s release. “My World,” released in November, contained the hit songs “One Time,” “One Less Lonely Girl,” “Love Me” and “Favorite Girl.”
“My World 2.0.” is the follow up to his debut album and includes “U Smile,” his new single released this week, “Never Let You Go,” released earlier this month and “Baby,” which features rapper Ludacris.
