AEG LIVE ANNOUNCES

SPECIAL HOLIDAY CONCERT STARRING STEVIE WONDER AT NOKIA THEATRE L.A. LIVE

FANS ASKED TO BRING GIFT FOR ‘HOUSE FULL OF TOYS’ CHARITY

 

AEG LIVE is excited to announce a special holiday show with STEVIE WONDER–billed as “A Wonder Winter’s Night Presents Stevie’s 12th Annual House Full of Toys Benefit Concert Featuring Stevie Wonder and Friends”–at NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE on Saturday, December 15 (on sale Monday, November 19 at noon).  Wonder’s show will be a full concert set along with special holiday guests and–after a 12-year hiatus from touring–this holiday celebration will be the culmination of the first leg of his tour.  The “House Full of Toys” show will benefit various children’s charities, and fans are asked to bring an unwrapped present for children and families in need.

Touring in support of his latest album A Time To Love, Stevie Wonder enters his fifth decade as one of the most prolific artists in music history, delivering 35 U.S. albums–28 major studio releases–with album sales totaling more than 100 million units. The legendary singer/songwriter has scored more than 49 Top 40 singles, 32 #1 singles, winning 25 Grammys (and a Lifetime Achievement Grammy in '96) and a host of other awards, including, most recently, Billboard's 2004 Century Award. His contribution to worldwide social and political change is just as impressive, with Wonder championing the effort to make Martin Luther King's birthday a national holiday, as well as becoming a driving force behind 1985's USA For Africa campaign.

NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE opened October 18, 2007 with six sold-out concerts starring the Eagles and Dixie Chicks and is destined to become the preferred indoor venue for performers and fans alike, offering guests mid-sized intimacy, with no seat further from the stage than 220 feet, exceptional comfort and amenities never before experienced by guests at similar theatres.  NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE is the centerpiece of L.A. LIVE, a 4 million sq. ft./$2.5 billion downtown Los Angeles Sports, residential and entertainment district adjacent to STAPLES Center and the Los Angeles Convention Center that is currently being developed.
