Legendary R&B bands Tower of Power and WAR are set to perform on May 22 at the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino. This performance promises to deliver a fusion of funk, soul and incredible hits from the ’60s and ’70s that will take audiences back in time.

Tickets for Tower of Power & WAR go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 14, through ticketmaster.ca.

"Tower of Power and WAR are renowned for their electrifying live shows, delivering high-octane energy and exceptional musicianship. This is the kind of concert where fans will dance the night away," said Cathy Price, vice president of marketing and resort operations, Niagara Casinos.

For over 55 years, Tower of Power has been at the forefront of funk and soul music. Originating as "The Motowns" in 1968, the band transformed into Tower of Power, crafting a signature sound characterized by dynamic horn arrangements and soulful rhythms. Their classics – including "You're Still a Young Man," "So Very Hard to Go" and "What Is Hip?" – have left an indelible mark on audiences worldwide.

Joining them is the multi-Platinum-selling band WAR, renowned for their message of brotherhood and harmony. With a career spanning over four decades, WAR has produced timeless tracks such as "The World Is A Ghetto," "Why Can't We Be Friends," "The Cisco Kid" and "Low Rider," each echoing their commitment to unity and social consciousness.
