Having played to sold out crowds around the world, R5 has
rapidly emerged as an electrifying new voice in the world of
pop/rock. Led by vocalist/rhythm guitarist Ross Lynch, R5 came together in 2009 and is
comprised of Lynch's siblings Riker (bass/vocals), Rocky (lead
guitar/vocals) and Rydel (keyboard/vocals) and friend Ellington
Ratliff (drums/vocals). The groove-heavy, guitar driven
sophomore album, Sometime Last Night, was released in July
of 2015 and debut #1 on the Pop Album chart and top 10 on the
Billboard 200 chart.
R5 will perform at The Venetian Theatre at 8 p.m. on Dec. 29
and Jan. 1. On New Year's Eve,
the group will perform at 7:30
p.m.

to close out 2015 and welcome 2016," said George Markantonis, president and chief
operating officer of The Venetian, The Palazzo and Sands Expo.

intimate and beautiful Venetian Theatre."

residencies, including "Soul2Soul" with Tim
McGraw and Faith Hill, "The
