It’s a night of musical royalty when Smokey Robinson (“The King of Motown”) and Gladys Knight (“The Empress of Soul”) take over Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort on Saturday, April 25, at 8 p.m., with their “Just the Two of Us” concert.

This pair of Grammy-winning singer-songwriters have been illuminating stages for six decades delivering hit after hit of tenderness, heartache and joy. Pre-sales run ahead of the general on-sale Friday, Jan. 30, at 10 a.m. PT. Tickets starting at $69 (not including applicable service charges or fees) will be available at AXS.com. 

With eight Grammy wins and 28 nominations, Knight and Robinson are icons of soul music. Named among the greatest singers of all time by Rolling Stone, Knight burst onto the music scene with Motown group The Pips in 1961 and spent the next six decades delivering No. 1 hits in pop, gospel and R&B.

Known for her timeless singles “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” and “Midnight Train to Georgia,” Knight’s ceaseless energy has led her to record more than 38 albums as well as acting in film and television. In 2024, Knight added a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award to her seven-strong collection.

Robinson has penned and performed some of the 20th century’s most indelible hits, including “You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me” and “I Second That Emotion.” As frontman of The Miracles and a primary songwriter for Motown, he wrote and produced chart-toppers for greats including The Temptations and Marvin Gaye.

Robinson’s mastery of performance and songcraft has shaped a career spanning more than half a century, and this Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee shows no sign of slowing down.

Join this legendary duo as they re-create some of the greatest musical moments of the 1960s, ’70s, ’80s and beyond, with songs that soundtrack an era and traverse generations. They really do have a hold on their longtime fans.
