Gospel and soul legend Al Green will be the first performer to take the stage at the nearly complete L'Auberge Casino & Hotel in Baton Rouge, with subsequent concerts planned featuring Harry Connick Jr., Darius Rucker and Better than Ezra in September and October. The Green show is set for Friday, Sept. 14, a little more than two weeks after the casino hosts a grand opening on Aug. 29. Tickets for the show go on sale this morning at 10 a.m. They range from $58.50 to $68.80, including taxes, and can be purchased online here. Green will be performing in the casino's 1,550-seat event center. The casino also features an outdoor festival ground dubbed "The Lawn," with seating for more than 3,500. Darrius Rucker and Better Than Ezra will perform at the casino's first major outdoor show on Oct. 12. Tickets for all shows will be sold via Ticketmaster until the casino opens, at which point they'll also be available on-site.
