The schedule for Troy’s weekly Wednesday night Rockin’ On the River concert series has been announced, and there are some changes.

Unfortunately, the changes don’t involve the tribute band mania which took hold of Rockin’ On the River last summer and apparently will still be raging throughout the summer of 2013.

The concerts in June and July will take place in the usual spot, the Green Island Bridge Parking lot just north of the Green Island Bridge. But the August shows will move to Troy’s Riverfront Park. All shows are rain or shine, and in the event of inclement weather, organizers will be erecting a huge tent.

All concerts take place at 5pm on Wednesdays. And of course, admission is FREE.

Here’s the 2013 line-up of performances for Rockin’ On the River:

The summer line-up of free concerts for the 2013 Alive at Five concert series has been officially announced. All concerts will take place at Albany’s Riverfront Park at 5pm on Thursdays from June 6 through August 8. Six shows of the nine-concert series will feature Local 518 bands opening for national bands, while three of the concerts will be devoted exclusively to local music double-bills.

The rain location for this year’s series will be the Palace Theatre.
