Multi-platinum classical crossover group Il Divo has announced that their next tour, “A Night with the Best of Il Divo,” will kick off at the F.M. Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, Aug. 30 at 7:30 p.m. Carlos Marin, Urs Buhler, David Miller, and Sébastien Izambard will be making stops in nearly 20 cities throughout in North and South America, including San Diego, Atlanta, Ontario, Buenos Aires, and more to be announced in the coming weeks.

Tickets, which are $59.59, $69.50, and $99.50, plus fees, go on sale this Friday, June 2 at 10 a.m. and will be available at the Kirby Center box office (71 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre), online at kirbycenter.org, and by phone at 570-826-1100. A Kirby Member pre-sale begins on Thursday, June 1 at 10 a.m. VIP packages will also be available through vipnation.com starting on June 1.

“We’re so thrilled to have the opportunity to bring our best hits on tour throughout the Americas,” says David Miller. “We are bringing it back to the basics and fueling our show with the songs our fans love! It’s going to be a night to remember, and we can’t wait to embark on ‘A Night with the Best of Il Divo’ tour.”

The international vocal quartet has achieved unparalleled success around the world, with $30 million in album sales, over 50 No. 1 records, 160 gold and platinum awards in over 33 countries, and four groundbreaking world tours.

Il Divo first came to fruition in 2003 and have been making music together for more than a decade, performing for everyone from President Barack Obama to Her Majesty the Queen. They have shared microphones with fellow superstars, from Barbara Streisand to Celine Dion, and their sell-out concerts have been attended by Hollywood icons, including Tom Hanks and Robert De Niro.

They will headline a limited Las Vegas engagement in The Venetian Theatre at The Venetian Las Vegas this September.

The group will also be offering fans the ultimate Il Divo experience aboard the Royal Caribbean Brilliance of the Seas Cruise. The four day cruise, traveling from Tampa to Cozumel, is set to take place Nov. 30-Dec. 4 and will give guests the rare opportunity to interact with the band members and experience a one-of-a-kind Il Divo concert aboard a luxurious ship.
