Join us for an unforgettable evening at the Quad City Bank & Trust Riverfront Pops as we celebrate the iconic music of Journey! This special event, taking place on August 26, 2023, at 7:30 pm CDT in the picturesque LeClaire Park in Davenport, IA, is set to be the Party of the Summer, marking Journey's 50th Anniversary.

Experience the thrill of live music along the banks of the Mississippi River, where you'll have the chance to sing along to Journey's greatest hits, including classics like "Separate Ways," "Wheel In The Sky," "Open Arms," and the anthemic "Don’t Stop Believin’." The night will culminate in a spectacular fashion with traditional renditions of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture and Sousa’s Stars and Stripes Forever, all set against the backdrop of a brilliant fireworks display.

This event offers a mix of general admission and reserved seating options, allowing guests to enjoy the concert from the grassy lawn of LeClaire Park or opt for a more exclusive experience with reserved permanent bandshell seating and reserved plots on the lawn. General admission tickets are priced at $22.00 for adults in advance, with children's tickets available for $5.00. Reserved seating options vary, with bandshell premiere seats at $42 and regular seats at $27, though reserved park plots have already sold out.
