Tubing is back at Panther Island Pavilion

Rockin’ the River is back for the sixth year and we have a great season lined up; we’re bringing in some fresh acts as well as favorites from previous years.  New this season is an all day, series finale happening on Saturday, August 13. “Since we started Rockin’ the River six years ago, our tubers have asked for the opportunity to float the river and enjoy a concert on a weekend,” said Trinity River Vision Authority Executive Director, J.D. Granger. “This year we’re responding to those requests and capping the season in style,” he said. Here’s what we have lined up for 2016:

June 16                 To be announced May 15th

June 23                 Prophets & Outlaws with Erick Willis

June 30                 Eleven Hundred Springs with Larry Hooper

July 7                     Dalton Domino with Austin Meade

July 14                   Dolly Shine with Grady Spencer

July 21                   Parker McCollum with Chance Anderson

July 28                   Zane Williams with Ray Johnston Band

August 4              Midnight River Choir with Troy Cartwright

August 11            Dirty River Boys with Cody Bryan Band

August 13            Cooder Graw,  Statesboro Revue, Aaron Einhouse, Red Shahan and Austin Allsup

The Saturday show will start at 1:00 pm and end with a fireworks show at 9:15 pm. The gates open at 4:30 pm for all Thursday shows and patrons can bring a blanket and chairs or enjoy front row seats from the comfort of a tube. At 6:45 pm the headliner will kick off on the Coors Waterfront Stage. At 8:30pm the after party band will play on the Southshore Stage and then the festivities end at dark with a fireworks show. In addition to the two stages, the Coors Riverfront Ice House will be back serving ice cold brews, providing shaded seating as well as live TVs which play Rangers games when they’re on! And don’t forget, thanks to The Shack at Panther Island Pavilion, all Rockin’ the River events will happen rain or shine!
