United Wireless Arena, managed by VenuWorks, is teaming up again with the Boot Hill Casino & Resort to bring country headliner LONESTAR to Dodge City, KS on Friday, June 7th. Doors will open at 6:00 PM and the concert will begin at 7:00PM.
Lonestar’s chart-topping streak started in 1996 with the band's second single, the rock-edged "No News," which describes a man left bereft (and confused) when his girlfriend suddenly disappears, and the following year's tender "Come Cryin' to Me" and “Everything’s Changed.” The band's quadruple-platinum 1999 album Lonely Grill spawned four No. 1 hits (including the beloved global smash "Amazed") and established Lonestar as music's preeminent pop-country band—a status they'd maintain through the 2000s and beyond, thanks to songs full of energy and creative lyrics ("What About Now") and ("Mr. Mom"), along with heartfelt messages and soaring melodies (“I’m Already There”).
Lonestar has amassed RIAA-certified sales in excess of 10 million albums since their national launch in 1995 and achieved ten #1 Country hits including “No News,” “Come Crying to Me,” “I’m Already There,” “What About Now,” and their crossover smash “Amazed” (which was also #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the first record since 1983’s “Islands in the Stream” to top both charts). The band’s awards include 1996 ACM Top New Vocal Group, 1999 ACM Single of the Year AND Song of the Year for “Amazed”, 2001 CMA Vocal Group of the Year and 2002 ACM Top Vocal Group. With an average of 80 dates worldwide per year, they are celebrating over 25 years together.
In 2021, Lonestar’s composition was altered, with the addition of Texas-native singer/songwriter Drew Womack as the new lead singer. Dean Sams, Michael Britt, and Keech Rainwater, the remaining three principals of the award-winning group are looking forward to the next chapter of the band as they set out on a national tour in 2023. Fans will hear more than 22 combined hits, between the amazing catalog of Lonestar and Drew Womack’s former group, Sons of the Desert, and even more hit songs written by Drew for iconic country artists including Kenney Chesney.
