MORE OUTSTANDING SUMMER SHOWS ANNOUNCED AT SENECA RESORTS & CASINOS I Love The ‘90s Tour, Chicago, John Mellencamp and more added to Niagara Falls and Salamanca line-ups NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. and SALAMANCA, N.Y. – The hottest entertainment line-up in the region just got a little bit hotter, as Seneca Resorts & Casinos announced a new slate of performances for Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino in Niagara Falls and Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino in Salamanca. Like the previously announced summer shows, the concerts announced today include a mix of indoor and outdoor concerts by stars from across multiple genres. Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino will hots one of the most legendary American bands in history, when Chicago performs an outdoor concert on Friday, August 19 at 8 p.m. Known as “the legendary rock band with horns,” Chicago has left an indelible mark on popular music, with hit songs including “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?,” “Saturday In The Park,” “Beginnings,” and “25 or 6 to 4.” Starting with their landmark 1969 debut album Chicago Transit Authority, the band has sold more than 100 million records, achieved an amazing 25 certified platinum albums, and produced 21 Top 10 singles, 11 Number One singles, and five consecutive Number One albums. Their signature sound and musicality has also garnered Chicago scores of awards and accolades across their more than 40-year career. Music fans will be able to indulge in one of the more fun and colorful decades in recent memory, when the I Love The ‘90s Tour rolls into Niagara Falls for a heart-stomping, pulse-beating show at Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino on Thursday, September 29 at 8pm.
Some of the decade’s biggest stars, including Salt-N-Peppa, Vanilla Ice, Coolio, and Rob Base will light up the Seneca Events Center with the songs and style that helped bring rap, hip hop and R&B to a new level of mainstream popularity and cultural influence in the 1990s. These stars performing at the Seneca Niagara show brought us songs like “Ice Ice Baby,” “Shoop,” “Gangsta’s Paradise,” and “It Takes Two,” which all became radio staples, and were blasted from countless car stereos, college dorm rooms, and headsets nationwide. The dance party that was the ‘90s returns to Seneca Niagara for this fun-filled night. After the summer air begins to cool in October, the entertainment stays hot when John Mellencamp performs at Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino on Saturday, October 22 at 8 p.m. The show is part of the final leg of Mellancamp’s Plain Spoken Tour, which has been called “a triumphant, career-spanning show” by Hollywood Reporter, and a “superb performance…still full of fiery defiance” by the Boston Globe. Throughout his more than 35year career, Mellencamp has transitioned from pop star one of the most highly regarded songwriters of his generation. From early hits like “Jack and Diane” and “Hurt So Good” to heartland-inspired songs like “Rain On The Scarecrow” through to his most recent album release, Plain Spoken, Mellencamp has firmly established his place in rock music history. Other shows announced today include: Bill Engvall (Seneca Allegany Events Center, July 2), Rich Robinson Band (The Bear’s Den Showroom, August 5), Creedence Clearwater Revisited (Seneca Allegany Events Center, August 6), Who’s Bad – The Ultimate Michael Jackson Tribute Band (The Bear’s Den Showroom, August 19), and Walter Trout (The Bear’s Den Showroom, August 20).
