TUNICA, Miss. — Gold Strike Casino Resort, the Mid-South’s premier casino resort destination, is hosting the high-octane Michael Jackson tribute band Who’s Bad at 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 17, at the Gold Strike Theatre inside the casino.
Experience the magic, energy and charisma of Michael Jackson like never before with Who’s Bad, the world’s longest-running tribute band honoring the King of Pop. This globally renowned performance promises an electrifying journey through Jackson’s most iconic hits — from the soulful grooves of “Human Nature” to the irresistible rhythms of “Billie Jean.”
Formed by composer and saxophonist Vamsi Tadepalli, Who’s Bad is composed of some of North Carolina’s finest musicians and Broadway-caliber dancers. With more than a century of combined professional experience, the ensemble has captivated audiences across the globe. They’ve sold out landmark venues, including London’s O2 Arena, where Jackson was set to perform his final tour, as well as China’s Ningbo Grand Theatre and Hunan Grand Theatre. U.S. fans have packed iconic venues from LA’s Gibson Amphitheatre and DC’s 930 Club to the House of Blues locations in Dallas, Houston and New Orleans.
Who’s Bad brings unmatched attention to detail in both vocals and choreography, led by frontmen Joseph Bell and Taalib York. Their dynamic stage presence and synchronized routines breathe new life into every song. The band’s showmanship has earned praise from music industry legends, including Michael Jackson’s former manager Frank DiLeo, who declared after a show, “Michael would have been proud.”
Whether you remember the Jackson 5, danced to “Thriller” or learned to moonwalk to “Smooth Criminal,” Who’s Bad delivers the ultimate celebration of Michael Jackson’s legacy.
