Grammy Award-winning rock band The War on Drugs is set to headline Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort on Friday, Oct. 2, at 8 p.m. in Las Vegas, and pre-sales will run ahead of the general on-sale on Friday, May 15, at 10 a.m. PT. Tickets starting at $49.50 (not including charges and fees) will be available at AXS.com.

The War on Drugs, “among the defining rock linchpins of the 21st century so far” (The New York Times), has emerged as one of this century’s great rock and roll synthesists, removing the gaps between the underground and the mainstream, between the obtuse and the anthemic, making records that wrestle a fractured past into a unified and engrossing present.

Led by Adam Granduciel, The New Yorker called the group “the best American ‘rock’ band of this decade” in support of the album “A Deeper Understanding,” for which the band won the 2018 Grammy for Best Rock Album and was nominated for a Brit Award for International Group of the Year after the breakthrough “Lost in the Dream,” which was one of the most critically acclaimed albums of 2014.

The band’s fifth studio album, “I Don’t Live Here Anymore” “chips away some of their hazier edges in favor of sharper melodies, broadening the borders of the meticulous yet joyously simple sound [Granduciel] has perfected” (Pitchfork, Best New Music).

The record landed on numerous 2021 best albums of the year lists and garnered second Grammy and Brit Award nominations. 2024 saw the release of “Live Drugs Again” (the second in the series after 2020’s “Live Drugs”) via Super High Quality Records.

Recorded on tour between February 2022 through December 2023 in America, U.K/, Europe and Australia, “Live Drugs Again” represents The War on Drugs at their ragged, righteous best, supporting Consequence’s rave “it’s hard to imagine a musical experience that’s more enveloping and uplifting.”
