Comedian and talk host Chelsea Handler and rock band The Wallflowers are the latest additions to the schedule at the Center for the Performing Arts.
Each is appearing for the first time at the Center’s Palladium concert hall. Handler performs at 8 p.m. on April 14, with tickets starting at $49.50. The Wallflowers, led by singer-songwriter and folk-rock scion Jakob Dylan, perform at 7:30 p.m. on April 26, with tickets starting at $35.
Each show goes on public sale at 10 a.m. Friday at the Palladium’s Fifth Third Bank Box Office, online at TheCenterPresents.org, and by phone at (317) 843-3800.
Handler is best known for her seven-year stint hosting E!’s top-rated Chelsea Lately, during which she was the only female late-night talk show host on the air. She has penned six New York Times best-selling books, including 2019’s Life Will Be the Death of Me, which she is adapting for television. Her recent comedy specials have included 2020’s Evolution on HBO Max and the new Revolution, which premiered in December on Netflix.
The Wallflowers first scored national success with their 1996 album Bringing Down the Horse and its hit singles “6th Avenue Heartache” and “One Headlight,” which tops Billboard’s list of “Greatest of All Time Adult Alternative Songs.” After several acclaimed group and solo albums and a nine-year hiatus, Dylan revamped the band for the latest album, Exit Wounds, which critics have called “his best original work” (Mojo) and “a stunning body of work by anyone’s standards” (Spin).
Both events are part of the 2022-2023 Center Presents Season, presented in partnership with Allied Solutions. The Wallflowers are presented through the Katz, Sapper & Miller Pop/Rock Series.
