Billy Joel has been tapped to play the first-ever show at a brand new casino venue in Niagara Falls.
Joel will christen the new OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino, a $130 million, 5000-seat theater at Caesars Windsor in Ontario.
“From the time we opened the conversation about bringing a world class venue to Niagara we knew the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino was going enhance the entertainment landscape of Niagara,” says Richard Taylor, President of Casinos Niagara. “Today, with this announcement of a true Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and cultural icon as our grand opening act, we are achieving that goal.”
Ray Pineault, Mohegan CEO and President said, “We look forward to watching our old friend grace the stage at this show, and to the many inspiring, exhilarating, unforgettable performances that will undoubtedly follow.”
The show takes place on February 25, 2023. In the meantime, Joel will continue his monthly residency at Madison Square Garden, and play two shows in Australia and New Zealand in December.
