Rascal Flatts announces Las Vegas residency

As Kiss continues to fire off their love guns on a nightly basis at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel, the venue’s next residency has been announced.

And it’s the first by a country artist.

Ohio’s Rascall Flatts has booked a nine-show run at The Joint beginning on Feb. 25. dubbed the “Rascal Flatts Vegas Riot!”

Having debuted in 2000 with their self-titled first record, the group will become the most contemporary act to take over The Joint following Kiss, Guns N’ Roses, Motley Crue and Def Leppard.

In the past decade-and-a-half, Rascal Flatts has sold more than 22 million albums and 30 million digital singles.

The group’s most recent record, “Rewind,” debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart in May.

Tickets for the shows start at $39.50 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday.
