UPDATED AGAIN: Big River Get Down relocated to RiversEDGE
It might be a little soggy for a few hours on Saturday, but that’s not going to stop attendees from getting down at RiversEdge Amphitheater for David Shaw’s Big River Get Down Presented by Miller Lite. The weather forecast improved significantly over night and the rain from tropical depression “Bill” should be out of the area by 4:30 p.m.
Due to the improved forecast, the Big River Get Down will be held at RiversEdge Amphitheater as originally planned. RiversEdge Amphitheater is located at 116 Dayton Street and the box office will be located at this address in front of the amphitheater. Dayton Street from North Second Street to Riverfront Plaza will be closed to traffic during the festival.

RiversEdge Amphitheater in Hamilton, Ohio is excited to announce it will be hosting David Shaw’s Big River Get Down Presented by Miller Lite on Saturday, June 20. The one-day festival will feature six bands including The Revivalists, a special acoustic set by David Shaw, The Main Squeeze, Maggie Koerner, The Heard, Backup Planet and Elementree Livity Project.
2015 marks the fourth consecutive year The Revivalists will perform at RiversEdge. The Revivalists’ front man, David Shaw, is a native Hamiltonian and truly enjoys performing in his hometown.
“As someone born and raised in Hamilton, the recent revitalization of the city has been something inspiring to witness,” said Shaw. “Getting the opportunity the last few summers to perform with my band, The Revivalists, at RiversEdge Amphitheater has always been a highlight of my year and a great opportunity to reconnect with family and old friends. The Big River Get Down will serve as a way to help increase the profile of Hamilton, while bringing something unique directly to the people of the city. Over the coming years we hope to sustain and grow this event along with the continuing renaissance of Hamilton to bolster the economy and provide yet another pillar of confidence and pride for the community.”
When discussing the parameters and scope of the festival, David Shaw stated he wanted the proceeds from the festival to be put towards something that would make the City of Hamilton an even better place to live, work and play. To help David accomplish this mission, all proceeds from the festival will be dedicated to the City of Hamilton’s 4th of July fireworks and to provide additional free concerts at RiversEdge.
Tickets are available at www.bigrivergetdown.com. Advance tickets are $15, 4-packs of tickets are $50 and day of show tickets (if available) will be $20.
