LAS VEGAS and NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Soles4Souls(TM) Inc., and Two Ten Footwear Foundation, the two non-profit organizations co- sponsoring OPENING NIGHT AT WSA(TM), announced today that legendary singers STEVIE NICKS and HALL & OATES will highlight this dazzling event on July 30th, which will be held at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.

Stevie Nicks is well known for her work with Fleetwood Mac and her long solo career, which collectively has produced over twenty Top 40 hits, including "Rhiannon," "Dreams," and "Sara." She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 as a member of Fleetwood Mac.

Opening the evening will be the incomparable duo Hall & Oates, who have sold more than 60 million albums during their 30-year career. Their rich repertoire has garnered a total of eight #1 hit singles, along with dozens of hits, which include "Maneater," "Private Eyes," "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)," and "She's Gone."

While the event is still more than three months away, Wayne Elsey, Founder of Soles4Souls, isn't hiding his growing optimism for the evening. "This is the finest opportunity for the footwear industry to gather together to have a great time while supporting the industry's own charitable organizations: Two Ten Footwear Foundation and Soles4Souls," he said. "Stevie Nicks and Hall & Oates put on an amazing live show, and we are confident we will have a packed house for this event because of the amount of phone calls and emails we have received," Elsey said.

"The WSA Show is proud the have this incredible evening as the focal point for the efforts of Soles4Souls and the Two Ten Footwear Foundation," said Diane Stone, COO of WSA. "With the global footwear industry assembled in one place, there is the opportunity to create awareness and raise funds so that the industry can help its own and help the world. This is a first-class venue for holding a first-class event," she said.

"The footwear industry has been remarkably supportive of both Soles4Souls and Two Ten, and we want to thank them by creating an incredible concert experience," Elsey said. "For the first time, concertgoers will have access to branded skyboxes, which offer incredible views and are fully catered. The Orleans Arena has all the extra amenities that will make the night a true V.I.P. experience," he said.

You have to be registered for this footwear convention to buy a ticket. I wonder how much the whole thing costs.

I did have a chuckle reading the website of this foundation. What the hell is the "footwear community"?

I'm sure they do good work, just a funny phrase.

He's going to email me the seat locations soon.
