Music comes alive in this concert experience combining rock, audience interaction and a freaky circus atmosphere inside the legendary Hilton Theater.

An irreverent ringmaster along with Sicko The Clown, Monster Circus’ mascot, lead the audience along the 75-minute journey through the powerhouse rock and metal anthems of the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s.

 

“The great rock ‘n roll stars from some of the great bands of the last three decades in a circus atmosphere it doesn’t get any better than that,” said Ken Ciancimino, executive vice president, Las Vegas Hilton. “Las Vegas has never seen a show like this.”

 

Rock star debauchery begins with an all-star lineup of the jaw-dropping Monster Circus band featuring artists Rudy Sarzo (Ozzy Osbourne, Quiet Riot, Whitesnake, Dio) John Corabi (Mötley Crüe, Ratt), Fred Coury (Cinderella), Bruce Kulick (KISS), and Tony Montana (Great White). Various guest artists will “join the circus” and perform the hits they personally rock out to, creating an evolving set list.
