The MGM Grand has announced its upcoming events which include concerts from a variety of Grammy award winning artists.

The MGM Grand Garden Arena will be the place to be this summer, starting with "An Evening with Sting" on June 18 at 8pm. English native Sting has been at the forefront of pop and rock music for nearly 40 years. Sting as a solo act, sans the help of The Police, has earned countless GRAMMY® nominations, winning 16. Sting also is one of the select few to be an inductee on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Sting will be accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra. The tour will feature Sting performing his most celebrated songs re-imagined for symphonic arrangement.

Iconic recording artists Carole King and James Taylor bring their highly anticipated "Troubadour Reunion" tour to the MGM Grand Garden Arena Saturday, July 17 at 8 p.m. This once-in-a-lifetime, intimate, in-the-round performance will bring two of the most beloved singer/songwriters together on tour for the first time in four decades. Arguably the most successful and revered female songwriter in pop music history, King has composed more than 400 songs which have been recorded by more than 1,000 artists. Taylor has sold more than 40 million albums and won more than 40 gold, platinum, and multi-platinum awards as well as five Grammy's.

Popular singer/songwriter Lady Gaga has announced the "Monster Ball Tour" presented by Virgin Mobile will make a stop at the MGM Grand Garden Arena Friday, Aug. 13 with special guests Semi Precious Weapons.

The sensational Canadian trio of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart - better known as Rush - will bring "The Time Machine Tour" to the MGM Grand Garden Arena Saturday, Aug. 14.
