Rick Springfield to Rock Out at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh This Fall
‘Jessie’s Girl’ singer set to light up The Event Center in October

PITTSBURGH — Aug. 2, 2024 — Get ready to relive the magic of the ’80s as rock icon Rick Springfield presents a must-see concert at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh on Oct. 19 at 7 p.m. Tickets to see the megastar’s electrifying Event Center performance are on sale now, starting at $39.

The creator of some of the finest power-pop of the ’80s, Springfield is a Grammy-winning singer, songwriter and musician who has sold 25 million albums and scored 17 U.S. Top 40 hits. Among his many chart toppers are “Jessie’s Girl,” “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “An Affair of the Heart,” "I’ve Done Everything for You,” “Love Somebody” and “Human Touch.”

Springfield is also an accomplished actor who has starred opposite Meryl Streep in the feature film “Ricki and the Flash,” gave a chameleonic performance as the creepy Dr. Irving Pitlor in HBO’s prestige drama “True Detective,” earned great reviews for his portrayal of Lucifer on the CW hit “Supernatural,” and most recently played the insane Pastor Charles on FX’s worldwide hit series “American Horror Story.” He also famously portrayed Dr. Noah Drake on “General Hospital.”

In 2014, Springfield was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located around the corner from the apartment he lived in when he first arrived in the U.S. from Australia in 1971.

Springfield’s Sirius-XM radio show, “Working Class DJ,” is a huge hit and airs weekly on “’80s on 8.” His new album, “Automatic,” is out now. “Automatic” is his first album of all-new original material in five years.

“We’re very excited to host rock legend Rick Springfield on The Event Center stage,” said Shannon Redmond, vice president of marketing at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh. “His songs are instantly recognizable, and his catalog of streaming music videos has added over 100 million views to his many entertainment credits.”
