It’s last call for summer paradise and this year, there’s no need to travel far for good vibrations. Escape to Margaritaville on August 12 at Empire City Casino as the world-renowned Landsharks return for the second year-in-a-row to perform the best of The Beach Boys and Jimmy Buffett trackside at Manhattan’s closest casino. Empire City will turn into a tropical getaway with Adirondack chairs, picnic tables, umbrellas in drinks, and BBQ-style food available for purchase. The event is free to attend.
Not only have the Landsharks worked as the “house band” at Margaritaville in Universal Studios, Florida, but they’ve also played in concert with both of their tribute artists, opening for the Beach Boys and Jimmy Buffet throughout the years. Currently, the Landsharks travel the world playing much more than just tribute songs; they’re also known for covering today’s popular music, rock & roll, ballads, and much more. They’ll rock Empire City on August 12 beginning at 5:00 p.m.as part of the casino’s commitment to provide quality, free entertainment for the more than 8-million guests that visit each year.
