Just a few weeks ago, music icon Kenny Rogers announced he would be retiring from the road following a farewell tour. We're excited that Cedar Rapids will be one of the first stops on that tour.

Kenny will be joined by Linda Davis for the "Once Again It's Christmas" show Tuesday, December 1 at the U.S. Cellular Center. The show will feature holiday favorites and Kenny's #1 hits from over the years. Beginning Monday morning, you can buy tickets with our presale.

When I was growing up, Kenny was one of the artists we always played on our stereo. His career success over the last 60+ years, yes 60 years, is nearly unprecedented. More than 120 million albums sold worldwide and he's charted songs in seven consecutive decades. He's an incredible entertainer. When you go to a Kenny Rogers show, you truly are entertained. You sing along, you smile, you laugh, you enjoy. Kenny made the announcement of his upcoming retirement late last month and he still has that twinkle in his eye. It will be hard for us to say goodbye too.

Our special presale for Kenny's show runs from Monday, October 12 at 10 am thru Wednesday, October 14 at 10 am. It's an online presale only, available here. Use password GIFT. Tickets go on sale to the general public Thursday, October 15 at 10 am.
