The performance will mark the country superstar's second appearance at Parx after back-to-back sold-out shows in 2018. Tickets for the show range from $79-$199.

A household name for a career that has spanned music, television and film, McEntire recently earned her 15th Grammy nomination for her gospel album, "Sing It Now: Songs of Faith and Hope."

Across all charts, she's released 35 No. ` singles and sold more than 56 million albums worldwide.

Next up, Foreigner will bring hits like "Juke Box Hero," "I Want To Know What Love Is," "Cold As Ice," "Hot Blooded" and "Feels Like the First Time" to Parx on Saturday, May 4 for an 8 p.m. show.

Tickets will run from $45-$110.

Boasting 10 multi-platinum albums and 16 Top 30 hits, Foreigner continues to sell out shows long after they first hit the scene in the late '70s.

Rounding out the trio of announcements, former "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno will bring his comedy stylings to Parx on Saturday, May 11. Tickets for the 8 p.m. performance will run from $65-125.

Before taking over as "Tonight Show" host, Leno honed his craft in comedy clubs throughout the country, often exceeding 300 dates per year. He first appeared on the show in 1987 and quickly became a favorite of then-host Johnny Carson.

He took over the show full-time in 1992, but never stopped touring and still performs more than 150 shows a year.

"We’ve built a spectacular live music venue with state-of-the-art sound and technology for the region to enjoy," said Parx CEO Tony Ricci. "We successfully created a high quality performance space that would be a match for the high caliber talent we want to draw to the region. This is only the start of bringing some of the best live entertainment acts to Parx Casino and Bucks County."
