The pop star will perform with his band on stage tonight. There's no difference in real meaning. The second one sounds like some advertising hype.

Hi Avangi,
Does it focus on the pop star in #1 and focus on the band in #2?
Thanks!

I'd say that #1 focuses on the pop star and #2 focuses on both equally, using repetition.
