Cameo Tickets

CAMEO IN CONCERT:

Funk and soul favorites Cameo have been bringing the heat to the dance floor since the mid-'70s, and they continue to treat fans to a serious groove-a-thon any time they perform their solid gold hits. Rubbery basslines, electro beats, and feel-good call-and-response vocals are the order of business whenever founding member Larry Blackmon and his talented band take the stage, and their party-worthy live shows never fail to transport fans back to the golden age of funk. Ticket buyers can cut a rug to "Word Up," shake a tail feather to "Attack Me With Your Love," or sink their teeth into "Candy" – no matter the track, Cameo delivers the goods with saucy swagger and infectious energy to spare. Fans looking to take a funky walk down memory lane can count on Cameo to lead the way at their booty-shaking shows.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Singer Larry Blackmon started Cameo in 1974 amid New York City's fertile funk, soul, and disco scene. The 10-piece group began as the New York City Players (a nod to fellow funksters the Ohio Players), but later changed their name to avoid confusion with the other group. Cameo was a hit right out of the gates – their 1977 debut album Cardiac Arrest cracked the R&B Top 20, spawning club favorites like "Rigor Mortis" and "Funk Funk." The band racked up a string of hits in the late '70s and early '80s, but the height of their success came with 1986's Word Up!, a Platinum-selling smash that topped the charts with its iconic title track and the equally funky "Candy." Cameo remained a fixture on the R&B charts well into the '90s, and in 2001 they once again reached No. 1 when they teamed up with Mariah Carey for "Loverboy," which sampled heavily from their 1986 hit "Candy."  Founding member Larry Blackmon and classic-era member Tomi Jenkins took the band to Sin City in 2016 for a residency at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, and their red-hot performances on the Strip proved they haven't missed a beat.
