Rockin' the River 2024

Visit Luzerne County has announced that the 6th annual Rockin’ the River summer concert series will return in July of 2024. The series, which takes place at the Millennium Circle at River Common in Wilkes-Barre, began in 2019 and has become one of Luzerne County’s most popular summer events, with crowds ranging from 3,000 to nearly 6,000 people. This year’s lineup is as follows: July 12 – The Unforgettable Fire: A Tribute to U2. With opening act, The TRiBE. July 19 – Winslow: An Evening with The Eagles. With opening act, The Traveling Wilkes-Barreans. July 26 – Lanie Gardner. With opening act The Broke Pines. The Rockin’ the River shows are free and all-ages. Gates open at 5 p.m. and music runs from 6-9 p.m. There will be food vendors and beverages from the Susquehanna Brewing Company and Bank & Vine. The concerts are presented by Visit Luzerne County in cooperation with Riverfront Parks Committee. Major sponsors are Geisinger, Lewith & Freeman, DiscoverNEPA , Mountain Productions, PSC (Petroleum Service Company) and the City of Wilkes-Barre. “These shows have given us some wonderful nights of great music, great food and community spirit, right along the Susquehanna, and we’re thrilled to be bringing them back again this year,” said Alan Stout, executive director of Visit Luzerne County. “Each show is a major production, but thanks to our great committee of volunteers and partners, and our generous sponsors, we can provide these shows to the community at no cost. One of the things that we’re the most proud of is that, in six years, we haven’t repeated a tribute act as a headliner, and this year will be the first time we’re presenting the incredible music of U2 and the timeless sounds of The Eagles. And, as has become tradition, the final show will feature original music. This year, it’s Lanie Gardner, a social media sensation and a budding country artist on the rise. And opening each show will be very talented local acts. We look forward to seeing everyone in July.” For more info, visit www.rockinlc.com
