Dear Editor:

The great mausoleum of music, the Carmel Palladium, announced its 70 performing acts for the 2026-27 season.

Among the recognizable stars are:

  • Dionne Warwick, 85,
  • Art Garfunkel, 81,
  • Gladys Knight, 82;
  • Mickey Dolenz, 81;
  • Harry Connick, Jr., 58;
  • John Malkovich, 72, and
  • Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, 73.

The remaining 63 acts feature either has-been or never-was persons, groups, or non-descripts.

The Center for the Performing Arts building still has a $50 million payoff on bonds issued in 2005. Average ticket sales over the last five years have been $3 million.

But the show must go on – aided by walkers and Rollators.
