    John Legend is coming back to Tampa this summer

    John Legend, who plays Hard Rock Event Center in Tampa, Florida on Aug. 25, 2024.
    When John Legend played the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino last fall, fans couldn’t shut the fuck up as he weaved stories about his songs into the setlist.

    “There were times when the nature of Legend’s revelations was so enthralling that they provoked an absolute hush throughout the venue, like talking about his beloved grandmother’s early, unexpected death, or his mother’s bouts with addiction,” Creative Loafing Tampa Bay Senior Music Correspondent Gabe Echazabal reported. “But as is so common nowadays, sometimes attendees see no fault in chit-chatting throughout live performances, and this night was sadly not immune from those types of gabbers.”


    Tampa Bay gets a re-do this summer when the 45-year EGOT (that’s an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony, folks) once again brings his very intimate evening with to the same room.

    Tickets to see Legend play Tampa’s Hard Rock Event Center on Sunday, Aug. 25 start at $275.
