Tioga Downs Announces Major 2017 Summer Concert Lineup


Rock and roll, country music to entertain fans this summer

Nichols, N.Y. – April 25, 2017 – As summer quickly approaches, Tioga Downs is pleased to announce its 2017 summer concert series lineup that kicks off with CMA and Grammy Award-winning country music artist Travis Tritt. Four major concerts are part of the 2017 summer schedule that begins Saturday, June 17 and ends Sunday, September 3.

Travis Tritt will perform at Tioga Downs on Saturday, June 17 at 8:00 p.m. The tickets are priced at three ranges —$25, $35 and $45. The night will feature Travis Tritt, highlighting his world-renowned voice and guitar. He is expected to perform some of his biggest hits such as “T-R-O-U-B-L-E,” “It’s A Great Day to Be Alive,” and “Best of Intentions.” His performance will also include personal stories about his life and musical influences.

38 Special will perform a special benefit concert Saturday, July 1 at 8:00 p.m. After more than three decades together, 38 Special continues to bring their signature blast of Southern Rock to more than 100 cities a year. At each and every show, thousands of audience members are amazed by the explosive power of the band's performance. Proceeds from the ticket sales will be donated to the Southern Tier Veterans Support Group. Tioga Downs owner Jeff Gural will match all ticket proceeds.

GRAMMY-Award winning superstar LeAnn Rimes will hit the Tioga Downs concert stage on Saturday, August 19 at 8:00 p.m., sponsored by Tioga State Bank. In 1996, LeAnn Rimes burst out of nowhere with her debut single "Blue," which immediately captured the attention of country fans across America. Blue debuted at number three on the pop charts, selling over 123,000 copies within its first week of release -- one of the largest figures to date in the history of the SoundScan tracking system.

The summer concert series wraps up Labor Day weekend with Dick Fox’s Golden Boys, starring Frankie Avalon, Fabian and Bobby Rydell on Sunday, September 3 at 8:00 p.m. Dick Fox’s Golden Boys were three of the most popular teen idols of the late 50s and 60s. They have proved to be an overwhelming live concert success. Dick Fox’s Golden Boys spotlights each of the performers and their All Time greatest hits, "Turn Me Loose", "Tiger", "I'm A Man" (Fabian); "Venus", "De De Dinah", "Bobby Sox to Stockings" (Avalon); "Volare", "Wild One", "Kissin' Time" (Rydell). The three stars combine their talents on several songs and perform a tribute to the material of Elvis Presley, Bobby Darin, Rick Nelson and Bill Haley.

Tickets for all four concerts are now available at all Ticketmaster locations and the Tioga Downs gift shop. All events will be held outside rain or shine.
