PEORIA, Ill. — The list of shows generating historic revenues at the Peoria Civic Center continues to grow.
Country legend Reba McEntire played to a sold out crowd at the Civic Center Friday night and became the highest grossing country act ever to come through the arena.
The previous Civic Center revenue record for country artists was set by Blake Shelton back in 2019.
In a statement, Rik Edgar, General Manager of Peoria Civic Center said, “We are thrilled to see her take the stage here in Peoria after previous postponements due to the pandemic. This is a strong indication that live entertainment is not only back, but back in record breaking levels”
Earlier this year, similar revenue records were broken by rockers Judas Priest and comedian Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias.
