WAR, one of music's defining soul/funk groups, will take the stage at Allegiant Stadium for halftime when the Las Vegas Raiders host the Cleveland Browns.
WAR was founded in 1962 in Long Beach, California. In 1970, producer Jerry Goldstein united the seven-piece band with former Animals lead singer Eric Burdon. The alliance produced the No. 1 worldwide hit "Spill the Wine." Stepping out on their own in 1971, they launched a fruitful career with a dynamic sound that fused R&B, rock, Latin music, jazz and blues. In 1973, their smash album "The World is a Ghetto" vaulted to No. 1 on Billboard's pop and R&B charts behind the crossover success of two Top 10 singles – the album's socially conscious title song and its rollicking follow-up "The Cisco Kid." Over a long career, WAR has rung up more than 20 multi-platinum, platinum and gold albums and singles, including hit songs "Low Rider" and "Why Can't We Be Friends?"
Lindsey Stirling, a multi-award-winning musician, will perform the National Anthem. Sterling is known for her genre-bending virtuosity on electronic violin while endlessly dazzling audiences with her extraordinary talents as a dancer — an element she brings to the stage as part of her spectacular live show. The platinum-selling star's seventh and most recent full-length effort, "Duality," is her most sonically daring and emotionally complex album date. Made with producers/co-writers like Graham Muron (Thirty Seconds to Mars, Skrillex) and Lucky West (Walk the Moon, Dreamers), "Duality" encompasses a dozen songs showcasing Stirling's refined musicality and gift for sculpting deeply expressive melodies.
The Raiders House Band returns for their fourth year of entertaining Raider Nation. This All-Star ensemble is an exciting, innovative and dynamic 19-piece orchestra led by David Perrico's powerful trumpet and stunning vocalists, featuring an all-female acoustic string section. The house band is comprised of world-class Las Vegas musicians who have performed with the likes of superstar entertainers Celine Dion, Santana, Beyonce, Rod Stewart, Andrea Bocelli, Shania Twain, and Diana Ross.
