The Capital Region’s newest destination resort, the MGM National Harbor, opens in just over a month, yet it has already gathered an exciting schedule of top talent. Over the coming months, artists from pop, rock and blues to comedy and R&B will grace the stage at the state-of-the-art Theater at MGM National Harbor. Taking the concept of dinner and a show to a whole new level, the 3,000-seat theater allows guests to experience the entertainment industry’s biggest names.

The first artists to take to the stage will be the four-part harmony of Boyz II Men, followed closely by the decade-spanning careers of Lionel Richie, Sting, ZZ Top and Cher. Ring in the New Year with ‘80s superstars Duran Duran, and enjoy pop and rock sensations Bruno Mars and Panic! At the Disco as well as the comedy of Jim Gaffigan.
