With Memorial Day weekend fast upon us and the sunny days of summer already here, it is time to think fun and music in one big gulp and you can reach for all of it with a short trip down the Thruway to Batavia Downs Gaming where there is plenty of excitement, gaming action, prize drawings, great food, and beginning June 21 the start of the Rockin’ the Downs Summer Concert Series featuring great performers every week through August 16 with the Rat Pack Now the headline act on Aug. 31 at 7:30 p. m.

This year’s opening act is none other than Smash Mouth featuring new frontman Zach Goode, a New York-city born, Los Angeles-based artist and singer with a versatile vocal style that seamlessly aligns with Smash Mouth’s energetic alt-pop sound which propelled them to music fame beginning in 1994 and which has been followed by many years of hit songs like “Walkin’ on the Sun” and “All Star” to name just a few.

The series features a cavalcade of big name performers in keeping with the enormous success of past summer concert programs at Batavia Downs Gaming, venue that draws big crowds to enjoy the entertainment and all that goes with it at the Thruway’s exit 48 hot stop. Here’s a list of this year’s summer concert program:
