Cheap Trick has just posted four Las Vegas dates for February and March. The band will hit The Strat Hotel & Casino over two weekends — February 25th & 26th and March 4th & 5th.
The band will be on the road though the fall opening for either ZZ Top or Rod Stewart. The group's last album, 2021's In Another World, peaked at Number Two on Billboard's Top Tastemaker Albums chart.
Guitarist and chief songwriter Rick Nielsen spoke to us about Cheap Trick's recent album, In Another World, and explained that it's yet another case of 'if it ain't broke — don't fix it': “I've made this quote (laughs) for years now. I said, 'I don't think we ever progressed' — in a good way. Y'know, we never tried to be something that we weren't. Changing for the sake of change — it just didn't make any sense. We like what our roots were — and Robin (Zander) says we wear 'em on our sleeve — well, we do. I still like the Yardbirds, I still like the Who, I still like the Rolling Stones, I still like the Beatles. Sure, I like other things, but, it's like — I still think that stuff is cool.”
