They’ll follow that, on May 15, with a newly added second show at the Hollywood Palladium, more than a week before their original, sold-out May 23 date at the same Los Angeles venue.
Tickets for the new Vegas show go on sale at 8 p.m. Pacific tonight and tickets for the second (now first) Hollywood concert go on sale at midnight Pacific tonight.
