(Niagara Falls, ON) January 9, 2024 – We’re thrilled to kick-off the new year with two fantastic additions to our already jam-packed 2024 entertainment lineup! First up, get ready to rock as Breaking Benjamin and Daughtry takes the stage at the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino on March 27. We also have Mike Birbiglia, a multi-talented comedian, writer, director, and actor, renowned for his outstanding shows across the globe. He will be making his debut at the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino on July 5 with his Please Stop the Ride tour.
“Get ready for two incredible performances at the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino,” says Cathy Price, Vice President of Marketing, Niagara Casinos. “Fallsview entertainment knows how to do it best! Both performances know how to captivate an audience in their own way. Get ready for more world-class entertainment at the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino”.
Breaking Benjamin, they are not newcomers when it comes to ruling the top spots of the rock charts. Since bursting onto the scene with 2002’s Saturate, the band has amassed an impressive string of mainstream rock radio hits, with ten songs hitting #1, numerous platinum and multi-platinum songs and albums, 8.5 billion combined streams worldwide and a social imprint of over 6.5 million — a testament to the band’s global influence and loyal fan base. Their most recent release, Aurora, gave Breaking Benjamin their 10th #1 song at rock radio with “Far Away ft. Scooter Ward.” Their last studio album, Ember debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 and marked the multiplatinum band’s fourth Top 5 debut on the Billboard Top 200. The album spun off two #1 hits at Active Rock Radio with “Red Cold River” and “Torn in Two.” Aurora and Ember charted Top 10 across numerous countries worldwide and topping #1 charts, including Top Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, Top Hard Rock Albums and Top Digital Albums.
Joining Breaking Benjamin this March is Daughtry and Catch Your Breath. Daughtry, one of the most visible and best-selling rock bands of the 21st century, has sold out concerts across the globe. Their debut album, the self-titled Daughtry, was the top-selling album of 2007 and was the fastest selling rock debut album in Soundscan history. It was also nominated for four GRAMMY® Awards and won four American Music Awards and seven Billboard Music Awards, including Album of the Year. Daughtry is no stranger to the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino when they performed here last June, and are ready to rock the crowd alongside Breaking Benjamin.
Catch Your Breath is a fresh, burgeoning Hard Rock band based out of Austin, Texas. Comprised of vocalist Josh, guitarist Teddy, bassist Cianan, and drummer Onell, Catch Your Breath injects a unique mix of synth soundscaping elements, imaginative production, and refined songwriting for an intense amount of emotion. With their latest single “Dial Tone” debuting on Sirius XM Octane radio, exponential Pandora growth, and coverage by Knotfest.com, audiences will instantly connect with the music no matter where they come from.
Also heading to the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino this July is Mike Birbiglia. He has received international recognition for his solo shows, performing at prestigious venues like the Sydney Opera House and West End. His solo shows, including Sleepwalk With Me, My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend, Thank God For Jokes, The New One, and The Old Man & The Pool, have been well-received on and off Broadway and have been turned into popular Netflix comedy specials. Birbiglia’s talents have earned him accolades such as the Lucille Lortel Award and multiple Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards. Birbiglia also wrote, directed, and starred in the films Sleepwalk with Me and Don’t Think Twice. As an actor, Birbiglia has appeared in the films Trainwreck, The Fault in Our Stars, Popstar, A Man Called Otto as well as TV roles in Orange Is the New Black and Billions.
