When is War good? When it’s the legendary band from the 70s! With hits like “Cisco Kid,” “Low Rider,” and “Why Can’t We Be Friends,” War was a cross cultural/cross genre phenomenon whose 1972 triple platinum The World is a Ghetto album was named Pop Album of the year and whose music continues to bring together fans from all walks of life. The groundbreaking band is coming to Phoenix, Jan. 20 to play the Celebrity Theatre.

Although the band’s lyrics were sometimes political in nature (in keeping with their racially integrated lineup), their music almost always had a sunny, laid-back vibe emblematic of their Southern California roots, an enduring influence that has sold over 50 million records worldwide.
From "Why Can't We Be Friends?" being played for the world via a U.S.-Soviet space mission to "Low Rider" being the theme for the nationally syndicated television shows Lopez Tonight and The George Lopez Show sitcom, War’s music spans cultures and generations, and continues to prove timeless.
This will be a fun, energy-filled show that fans of great music will not want to miss.
