Rod Stewart brings that unmistakable raspy voice back to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for another round of "The Encore Shows." Decked out in his signature style—leopard print, scarves, and all—Stewart works through a catalog that spans six decades, from the rock anthems that made him a star in the 70s to the soulful ballads and American Songbook standards that followed. Expect to hear staples like "Maggie May," "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?," "Forever Young," and "Have I Told You Lately" alongside deeper cuts that showcase his range across rock, blues, R&B, and pop.
The Colosseum itself sets a fitting stage for a performer of Stewart's stature, with its grand architecture and acoustics designed for exactly this kind of large-scale, career-spanning show. With a full band behind him, Stewart's live performances tend to lean into the showmanship that's defined his career—plenty of energy, a bit of soccer ball kicking into the crowd (a longtime Stewart tradition), and that gravelly voice that's aged into something even more distinctive. For longtime fans, it's a chance to hear the hits performed by the man who wrote and popularized them; for newer listeners, it's an introduction to why Stewart has remained a fixture in popular music since the late 1960s.
