Fronted by dynamic performer Hollywood Yates, this concert brings the swagger, patriotism, and fun-loving attitude that made Toby Keith a household name. A true all-around entertainer, Hollywood is known for his larger-than-life career as a PRCA rodeo clown and bullfighter, as well as his time on television as the fearless “Wolf” on American Gladiators.

Now returning to his roots in music, Hollywood delivers an electrifying performance packed with the hits and anthems that fans love. With powerful vocals, high energy, and plenty of personality, Toby: A Toby Keith Tribute Concert is a night of great country music and unforgettable entertainment.
