All 2025 Atlantic City Hard Rock concerts: See Earth Wind and Fire, Yes
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. The lively gambling, fine food, classy rooms, luxurious pool, state-of-the-art gym and nearby beach and boardwalk aren't the only exciting attractions at Atlantic City's Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. While one theoretically could visit the massive resort for any one of those amenities and be satisfied, they'd be missing the granddaddy of them all when it comes to the Hard Rock: the music. Everywhere you look here, it's about the music. From the entrance where visitors are bombarded by high-energy live bands to the walls lined with gaudy wardrobes from rock, pop and Hip-Hop legends, this is clearly a place that loves artists and all they represent. This sentiment is reflected in the eclectic acts the venue books for their two mammoth event spaces, the 7,000-seat Etess Arena and 1,368-seat Sound Waves. Etess brings in a mix of 20th century icons (Earth Wind and Fire, Yes, Steve Winwood, Toto, Foreigner) along with modern contemporaries (Avett Brothers, Nathaniel Rateliff, Train, Khalid, Seether) and inspired choices (DJ Cassidy's Pass The Mic concert with rap's best and brightest from yesterday looks a consensus fan favorite) to cater to audiences of classic rock, R&B, folk, country, Hip-Hop, reggae and alternative metal. In the smaller space, Sound Waves hosts biggies like The Temptations with The Four Tops as well as Led Zeppelin and Queen tribute acts along with Bollywood stars. That's not to mention all the comedy shows, magicians, jiu-jitsu matches or the monthly Garden State Live series highlighting the best New Jersey has to offer. They're really got something for everyone, regardless of whether or not you're also all about the music. Sound like a good time? If so, our team mapped out the Etess Arena and Sound Waves Theater's complete 2025 event calendars to help you find the show just for you.

How Kelly Clarkson Got Into Trouble on Show: ‘F— That'
Kelly Clarkson is about as sweet as you can get when it comes to a former reality TV star. The daytime talk show host is often seen interacting with her fans. Everyone loves to hear her sing or make small talk. But recently, she found herself in hot water after she commented on people's appearances. During her May 10 concert at the Hard Rock Live via Too Fab at Etess Arena in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Kelly got carried away when talking about self-love. Like most musicians do, Kelly took a moment to open up to her audience. This time she spoke on the topic of double standards. In recent years, Kelly has made headlines for her weight loss. And while it shouldn't be a topic of conversation these days, it somehow still is. One fan decided to yell that she was 'sexy' during her speech, which triggered the mom of two to reflect on the many compliments and insults she had received over the years. Kelly shared that she had been chastised for complimenting on how others looked around her. Even though she only meant for positive encouragement, her management felt it was a bad decision. While on stage, Kelly joked, 'Every time I go to an HR meeting, I'm like, 'How have I not been fired? They say you're not allowed to say someone looks attractive, and I say f*ck that.' Even though some of the rules are there to avoid any hard feelings, Kelly isn't about to stop being nice. The 43-year-old added 'They were like, 'It might make people feel bad that they looked bad before.' I was fat before, so I'm saying I want you to say, 'Damn!'' she continued. 'Because some of those b*tches are out here working, and we're trying, and I want every motherf*cker that passes me to go, 'Damn! Well done!'' She ended her speech by telling the fan, 'Thank you for saying I look sexy. I will not be calling HR.' TELL US – DO YOU THINK KELLY WAS WRONG TO GIVE A COMPLIMENT? The post How Kelly Clarkson Got Into Trouble on Show: 'F— That' appeared first on Reality Tea.

Why Kelly Clarkson Says Releasing New Music Independently as the 'Boss' Feels Different
Clarkson released her first independent single, "Where Have You Been," earlier this month Whatever Kelly Clarkson releases next is up to her. In an interview on the May 6 episode of Today, the three-time Grammy winner opened up about putting out new music as an independent artist after sharing her latest single, "Where Have You Been," earlier this month. "It's interesting, I'm going back and forth with just releasing what I want when I want and doing a full album," Clarkson, 43, whose last album, Chemistry, came out in 2023, told host Carson Daly. ADVERTISEMENT Advertisement "I'm going back and forth on that. And the really cool thing about that, Carson, is I'm the boss, so I can do what I want," she added. "Because the next one we're working on doesn't sound like this song, so it's a little more rock and roll." The PEOPLE App is now available in the Apple App Store! Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more! Released on May 2, "Where Have You Been" marks Clarkson's first independent release on her newly launched label, High Road Records, and features lyrics about finding love after a period of hardship. ADVERTISEMENT Advertisement "Where have you been? / What took so long? / I thought I'd found you / Found out I was wrong," she sings on the chorus. "I almost gave up / My light was so dim / And now, here you are / Where have you been?" Clarkson will perform two shows at Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena in Atlantic City on May 9 and 10, followed by her upcoming Studio Sessions residency at the Colusseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas later this summer.

How Being 'Wrong' Inspired Her New Song 'Where Have You Been' In the Today interview, the "Miss Independent" singer teased of the upcoming residency, "This is totally different for us, how we're doing it." ADVERTISEMENT Advertisement "It's called Studio Sessions, and the reason for that is I feel like you don't get live anymore — maybe back in the '70s — but you really don't get live what you really feel in the studios," explained Clarkson. "You fill out the whole stage, like I've hired more musicians, more singers are coming out, we're literally filling out everything." She added, "There's no tracks at all of any instruments or anything. It's all live. It just feels amazing in the studio, so we wanted to bring that into the setting for everybody, so it's going to be really fun." Read the original article on People
