Michael Buble on his album "It's Time"
WorcesterScene is the first to break the news that Michael Bublé is scheduled to give a night’s performance at Worcester’s DCU Center. A friend inside Reprise Records has confirmed that March 19th, 2009, Mr. Bublé will be visiting the DCU Center for his Crazy Love, US tour. The DCU Center is expected to announce this show in December with tickets going on sale December 4, 2009.
The DCU Center which opened first in 1982, has a rich history of hosting big bands and sports teams, including being the home for Worcester Sharks (AHL). The DCU Center expanded in 1997 with a state of the art convention center with panoramic views of the city of Worcester. Today, the DCU center has been undergoing other major renovations to improve technical workings, concourse, concessions, and creating suites and club seats. The DCU Center currently seats under 15,000 which makes it an intimate setting.
Michael Bublé, known for his Sinatra like sound, has won a Grammy and several Juno Awards. From Canada, Bublé broke into the music scene in 2000 after being discovered performing at a business party—his first album, self-titled, was debuted three years later. Since then, Bublé has released four albums and has started his Crazy Love tour in Europe.
