LAS VEGAS, Feb. 9 (UPI) -- Paul McCartney has signed on to headline the grand opening weekend at The New Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas, the hotel announced.
Tickets for the April 19 concert are to go on sale Saturday.
"I'm looking forward to rockin' The Joint!" McCartney said in a statement.
"We are honored to have the multi-Grammy Award-winning artist and rock legend, Paul McCartney, launch us into a new era of rock 'n' roll at the all-new Joint concert venue, scheduled to open at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in April," Randy Kwasniewski, president and chief operating officer of Morgans Hotel Group Las Vegas and Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, said.
"We could not have asked for a greater rock 'n' roll legend than Paul McCartney to open The New Joint at Hard Rock Hotel," said President and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Concerts West/AEG Live John Meglen. "The booking of Paul McCartney reinforces The Joint's image as the legendary home of rock."
The New Joint inherited its name from the original Hard Rock venue and was designed by the architectural design firm, Sceno Plus of Montreal.
The New Joint will double the former venue in size, while keeping the same atmosphere of the original. The furthest seat in the house will be just 155 feet from the stage, the hotel and casino said.
