Tickets for her Fallsview appearance start at $150.

Also coming to the casino’s Avalon Ballroom in August is Jeff Dunham’s Passively Aggressive Tour for two nights, Aug. 3 and 4. Tickets start at $80.

On the music side will be Rock & Roll Hall of Fame members Blondie Aug. 24 ($70), The 5th Dimension Aug. 30 and 31 ($25), WAR Aug. 18 ($35), Notte Italiana Aug. 25 and 26 ($80), an extended run of Cruisin’ Classics Aug. 9 to 17 ($25) and the Songwriter­s Series featuring Howie Day ($40).

Tickets for all August shows go on sale Friday at noon at the Fallsview box office, www.ticketmast­er.ca and all Ticketmast­er outlets.
