Gloria Gaynor is best known for her chart-topping hit “I Will Survive,” which has grown into a global anthem for survivors of all kinds, and she will be singing this anthem loud and proud along with her other hit songs at Rivers Casino Philadelphia on December 30.
Rivers Casino said the two-time Grammy winner and global music legend’s mantra for hope perfectly reflects the city’s resiliency. Officials said in a statement Gaynor’s high-energy concert will kick off the New Year’s holiday weekend at the property.
Gaynor’s legendary career spans the past 50 years, and has never lost momentum. She’s had hit songs in each of the past five decades.
Most recently, Gaynor took home a Grammy Award in January 2020 for her new album titled “Testimony,” exactly 40 years after receiving her first Grammy Award for “I Will Survive.”
In addition to her prolific music career, Gaynor channeled her fame into supporting several charities, providing not only her financial support but also her time, energy and talent. She has said it is incredibly important to give back and help uplift one another during challenging times.
“We cannot wait to start the New Year’s holiday weekend party with the ever-popular Gloria Gaynor in our Event Center,” Justin Moore, general manager of Rivers Casino Philadelphia, said in a statement. “Seeing the Disco Queen perform ‘I Will Survive’ up close and personal is the perfect way to head into 2022.”
Located along the Delaware River waterfront in Philadelphia, Rivers Casino Philadelphia features 1,600 slots, 105 table games, 65 hybrid gaming seats, a 28-table poker room and a designated sportsbook area for live sports betting. The casino offers an array of restaurants and bars.
