Diana Ross books Yaamava' Theater for the night before Valentine's Day

The Motown icon returns to Highland on Saturday, Feb. 13, 2027, two years after her last Valentine's-weekend stop at the San Manuel resort.

Somebody at Yaamava' clearly owns a calendar. Diana Ross plays Yaamava' Theater in Highland on Saturday, February 13, 2027, at 8 p.m. That's the night before Valentine's Day, which turns a big ticket into the easiest date-night decision anyone in the Inland Empire will make this winter.

The show was announced Oct. 27, and tickets are through AXS. Yaamava' Theater holds 3,000, which counts as intimate for an artist of Ross's stature. Most of the people in that room will be close enough to see the gowns move.

This isn't new territory for her. In early 2025, EURWeb's rundown of her tour dates put her at Yaamava' Theater on February 14, Valentine's Day itself. The 2027 date lands one night earlier, on a Saturday, but the idea is the same: a Motown legend, a room built for big nights out, and the most romantic weekend of the year.

Ross has stayed busy in the meantime. In July, the Las Vegas Sun and FOX5 reported a three-night engagement of her "Diana in Motion" show at Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas, running Oct. 2–4, 2026. Those nights are in the books now. Highland gets her about four months later, and for a lot of Inland Empire fans that means skipping the drive up the 15 and the Strip prices that come with a Vegas weekend.

A Motown legend, a 3,000-seat room and the most romantic weekend of the year.

The listing tags the show rock, R&B / soul and jazz, a wide net that fits a career that started in Motown's golden era and never really stayed in one lane. Ross is one of those rare performers whose catalog works as a shared language. Couples who agree on nothing else musically tend to agree on her, and that is exactly why a Valentine's-weekend booking makes sense.

The room makes sense too. Yaamava' Theater has quickly become the Inland Empire's go-to stage for legacy acts who could easily fill bigger rooms in Los Angeles or Las Vegas. For locals it means Highland, not downtown LA, and a 3,000-seat theater instead of an arena. You also get a resort right outside the doors for dinner before the show or a drink after.

A few practical notes. Showtime is 8 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 13. Book dinner reservations early, because Valentine's weekend at a casino resort fills up fast. Buy through AXS, the official seller, rather than a resale site, so you know what you're paying and where you're sitting. If the plan is a surprise, now is a good time to lock in seats. Three months is plenty of notice, and it gets you ahead of the crowd that waits until the week before.

Ross has spent decades proving a great singer can hold a room with a look as much as a note. On Feb. 13, she gets to do it about twenty minutes from a lot of front doors in San Bernardino County. Get the tickets, make the reservation, and let her handle the rest.
