Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady Unveils 2025 Harbor Jam Free Summer Concert Weekend Lineup

Concerts to feature the music of Bon Jovi, Journey, and Michael Jackson 

Schenectady, NY (May 19, 2025) – Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady is thrilled to announce the return of Harbor Jam this summer at the Mohawk Harbor Amphitheater for 2025. This year’s Harbor Jam concerts will take place Saturday, July 19 and Sunday, July 20.

This summer’s Harbor Jam weekend performance lineup includes headliners BonJourney - a tribute to Bon Jovi & Journey on Saturday night, and Who’s Bad - a tribute to Michael Jackson on Sunday night. Each night’s entertainment kicks off at 6 p.m. with a DJ (DJ Mix It Up on Saturday and DJ RVMBA on Sunday), followed by the headliner performance at 7:30 p.m.

BonJourney is a high-energy tribute band based in New York, celebrating the iconic music of Bon Jovi and Journey. Since 2010, they've been electrifying audiences across the United States with their dynamic performances and unmistakable stage presence. What sets BonJourney apart is their unique ability to seamlessly blend the biggest hits from both legendary bands into one unforgettable show. Every performance is a crowd-pleasing, sing-along experience that fans won’t soon forget!

Who’s Bad is the world’s longest-running Michael Jackson tribute, delivering an electrifying celebration of the King of Pop that has thrilled audiences across the globe. As the only tribute act to predate Jackson’s passing, Who’s Bad has sold out legendary venues worldwide, including London’s O2 Arena, where Michael himself was set to perform his final shows. With jaw-dropping performances and unstoppable energy, Who’s Bad is more than a concert - it’s an unforgettable musical experience and the ultimate Michael Jackson party.

Food and beverages will be available for purchase, including alcohol for guests 21+. There are no age restrictions to attend, and concertgoers are welcome to bring chairs and/or blankets for seating.

The Harbor Jam concerts are proudly sponsored by Adams Heating & Cooling, BPI Mechanical Service and the Galesi Group.
