Jerry Cantrell set to rock out at OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino this January

Fallsview Casino Press Release

Get ready for Jerry Cantrell, who is set to take over the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino on Friday, Jan. 31, 2025, as part of his “I Want Blood Tour!” Joining Cantrell is special guest Filter. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday through ticketmaster.ca.

“Jerry Cantrell is rock royalty, and this performance will be electric,” said Cathy Price, vice president of marketing, Niagara Casinos. “It’s a fantastic honor to host one of the most legendary guitarists of all time at the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino.”

His vocals, melodies and riffs are as instantly recognizable as they are powerful, nuanced and eclectic. Both a disciple of the hard rock tradition and a massive influence on subsequent generations of artists, Cantrell straddles the line between earnest salt-of-the-earth songwriter and beloved living legend.

His fourth solo album, “I Want Blood,” arrives with all the aggression and heavy, inexhaustible stomp its title suggests. The follow-up to the best-reviewed solo album of Cantrell's career, 2021's “Brighten,” further expands his musical palette without sacrificing any of his inescapably infectious melodic hooks. "Vilified," which opens the album, is an anthem, a mission statement, kicking off “I Want Blood” with attitude.

Cantrell's mountain of work as a solo artist and chief songwriter, guitarist and co-vocalist in Alice In Chains stands tall in influence and respect. He's collaborated with Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Danzig and Deftones, among others. He's contributed to music heard in films by Academy Award-winner Cameron Crowe and Judd Apatow and entries in the “John Wick” and “Spider-Man” franchises. Rolling Stone named the multi-Platinum Tacoma, Washington, native one of the greatest guitar players of all time. His catalog mines the best of metal, rock, blues and Americana.

Joining Cantrell is rock band Filter. Filter’s debut album, “Short Bus,” was released in 1995 and went Platinum, largely due to the success of the first single “Hey Man Nice Shot.” The follow up, 1999’s “Title of Record,” also went Platinum, driven by the huge crossover success of the song “Take a Picture.” Celebrating 30 years of Filter, 2023 saw the much-anticipated release of a new album, “The Algorithm.”
