The Las Vegas Raiders are once again hosting Raiders Alumni from across the country for an Alumni Reunion this weekend to celebrate the forever bond that comes from playing for the Silver and Black. Over 300 Raiders Alumni and their guests will gather inside the Wynn Field Club at Allegiant Stadium this Saturday when the Las Vegas Raiders host the San Francisco 49ers.
At halftime, George Thorogood will take the stage to perform. With his smash originals "I Drink Alone," "Gear Jammer," and the song that resonates around the world with just a few chords, his anthem "Bad To The Bone," Thorogood and the Destroyers have forged a one-of-a-kind career built on humor, fervor and six-string swagger. By putting his unique spin on blues, country and R&B tracks by icons including Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker and Hank Williams, Thorogood's versions of classic hits like "Who Do You Love?" "Boogie Chillun'" and "Move It On Over" have kept the music of these American treasures relevant by introducing them to new streaming audiences every day.
Las Vegas headliner Bucky Heard will perform the National Anthem prior to kickoff. Heard has numerous national theatrical credits and his reputation as a "gutsy rock and roll singer with incredible vocal range" has garnered critical praise. He has shared the concert stage with some of the greats including Michael McDonald, BB King, Jonathan Cain (Journey), The Beach Boys, Lee Greenwood and many more. In 2016, he joined forces with legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame icon, Bill Medley, in the revival of the Righteous Brothers. They currently have a residency at South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
Pregame, the Raiderettes and Junior Raiderettes will perform a special routine. The signature Junior Raiderettes program, held annually during the preseason, allows 200 aspiring young dancers to fulfill their dream of performing on the field with the Raiderettes. Established in 1998, this cherished tradition continues to inspire and excite participants each year. For more information, visit www.raiderettesthestudio.com.
