The Beach Boys, Burton Cummings, Diana Krall headed to Fallsview

Press Release

The fun and excitement never stops at Fallsview Casino, starting with Gipsy Kings featuring Nicolas Reyes, followed by Canadian rock royalty Burton Cummings and his band. The Beach Boys arrive with their “Endless Summer Gold Tour,” and you won’t want to miss Canadian jazz sensation Diana Krall.

“The OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino continues to welcome a wide range of mind-blowing performances, and this fall is no exception,” said Cathy Price, vice president of marketing for Niagara Casinos. “The talented artists scheduled to perform at Fallsview Casino are truly exceptional, and their upcoming appearances will certainly generate high levels of excitement.”

On Nov. 3, sway with the music of the Gipsy Kings, featuring Nicolas Reyes, as they incorporate elements of Latin and Cuban styles, Arabic music, reggae, and jazz guitar reminiscent of the French Gypsy master Django Reinhardt. They have never lost their intense connection to the traditional flamenco of their heritage, keeping a spotlight on Tonino Baliardo’s fluid guitar work and Reyes’s powerful vocals. This broad cultural mix has enabled the Gipsy Kings to be embraced wherever they play – from China to Brazil, New Orleans to Russia, Australia to Africa.
