War And Tower Of Power Bring Funk And Soul Showcase To Ava Amphitheater At Casino Del Sol
Casino Del Sol announced that WAR and Tower of Power, two of the most enduring and influential bands in American funk, soul and R&B, will co-headline a single night at AVA Amphitheater on Saturday, September 19, 2026. The performance continues Casino Del Sol's commitment to bringing nationally recognized, multigenerational talent to Southern Arizona audiences year-round.
Formed in Long Beach, California in 1969, WAR built a catalog of genre-defining hits that fused funk, rock, Latin and soul influences into a singular sound that continues to fill dance floors more than five decades later. Tower of Power, the Oakland-born horn section and band that has performed since 1968, is celebrated for a signature brass sound and rhythm section that helped shape the vocabulary of American funk and R&B. Together, the two acts represent a rare pairing of West Coast musical royalty on a single Tucson stage.
The WAR and Tower of Power performance is the latest addition to AVA Amphitheater's 2026 concert calendar, joining a lineup that reflects the venue's reputation as Southern Arizona's premier outdoor destination for national touring artists. AVA Amphitheater, a 5,000-seat open-air venue at Casino Del Sol, has hosted headline acts year-round and has been recognized as a Casino Arena/Amphitheater of the Year honoree by the Casino Entertainment Awards.
