Paul McCartney will headline the grand opening weekend of The New Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas on April 19, it was announced late Friday. Tickets go on sale at noon Feb. 14.

"I'm looking forward to Rockin' The Joint!" said Paul McCartney.

The opening comes two days after McCartney's performance at the first night of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, CA. 

"We are honored to have the multi-Grammy award winning artist and rock legend, Paul McCartney, launch us into a new era of rock 'n' roll at the all new Joint concert venue scheduled to open at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in April," said Randy Kwasniewski, President and COO of Morgans Hotel Group Las Vegas and Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. "The New Joint will be the most sophisticated, intimate, and authentic venue in Las Vegas - unlike anything the city has ever seen."

"We could not have asked for a greater rock and roll legend than Paul McCartney to open The New Joint at Hard Rock Hotel," said President & Co-CEO of Concerts West/AEG Live John Meglen. "The booking of Paul McCartney reinforces The Joint's image as the legendary home of rock. The new venue will be the place for artists to play and fans to experience a concert in  Las Vegas."

Tickets go on-sale Saturday, February 14 at noon at the Hard Rock Hotel Box Office, all Ticketmaster locations, online at Ticketmaster.com or charge-by-phone at 800-745-3000.

The New Joint inherited its name from the original Hard Rock venue and was designed by Montreal-based architectural design firm Sceno Plus. It will be a multipurpose facility to feature a state-of-the-art sound and lighting, WiFi access throughout the venue, a full blogging station for the press and 38 flat screens for viewing. The New Joint's $60 million project is part of the
$750 million expansion the Hard Rock broke ground on in 2007. The project is slated for completion in late 2009.
