Bryan Adams to headline at Pickering Casino opening event
The Canadian musician will celebrate the unveiling of the casino’s new Arena venue.
Great Canadian Entertainment (GCE), a gaming and hospitality company, announced that it is opening The Arena at Pickering Casino Resort, an entertainment destination with 2,500 seats. The Arena is set to open in grandiose fashion, with Canadian star Bryan Adams performing at the April 26 launch.
The new $500m Pickering Casino Resort will host live entertainment, sporting events and special attractions. The casino first opened its doors in 2021, while trying to recover from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. It offers a 96,000 square feet casino, nine distinct restaurants, ‘the Great Canadian Sportsbook’ and a 275-room hotel.
The opening of this new music venue is part of the Pickering Casino’s path back to normalcy and increased footfall. GCE CEO Matthew Anfinson commented: “We couldn’t be more thrilled to have Canadian icon Bryan Adams officially open Pickering Casino Resort and introduce The Arena.
“His dynamic performance will be the perfect way to showcase this venue and emphasize our commitment to providing a wide range of events and experiences from concerts to sports. We can’t wait to see the excitement and energy that Bryan Adams will bring to this incredible space.”
Adams’ songs have achieved number-one status in 40+ countries and he is a Companion of the Order of Canada. Looking at his other accolades, he has three Academy Award and five Golden Globe nominations, a Grammy Award, 20 Juno awards, American Music Awards and ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards and has been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
