Heart books six shows in Las Vegas through the end of the year

Two of the leading women of ’70s rock booked six dates at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay this summer and fall.

Sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart perform Aug. 13-15 and Nov. 19-21.

With Ann on lead vocals and Nancy on guitar, Heart stormed the charts in 1974 with hits like “Crazy on You,” “Magic Man,” “Barracuda,” “Straight On” and many more. Not only did the Wilson sisters lead the band, they wrote the songs and played the instruments too, making them the first women in rock to do so.

Heart continued topping the charts through the ’80s and ’90s with huge hits like “These Dreams,” “Alone,” “What About Love,” “If Looks Could Kill,” “Never” and a string of other hits.

Heart has sold more than 35 million albums, performed sold-out arena shows worldwide, and found their way into the soundtrack of American life through radio, motion pictures, television and associations with branded sponsors.

Nearly 35 years after their first big hit, the sisters were back in the Billboard Top 10 in 2010 with Red Velvet Car and a Top 5 DVD “Night at Sky Church.” In 2012, Fanatic continued Heart’s current chart success debuting in the Billboard Top 25 and spawning two hit singles “Fanatic” and “Dear Old America.” The group also released a comprehensive CD box set entitled Strange Euphoria with rarities and previously unreleased treasures.

In September 2012, Ann and Nancy released their first-ever memoire “Kicking & Dreaming: A story of Heart, Soul and Rock and Roll,” spending several weeks on the New York Times bestseller chart.

Tickets start at $55 for general admission standing room only and $69.50 for reserved seating and go on sale Friday, May 8, at 10 a.m. This is an 18-plus show.
