Rockin' on the River Plugs In

Hard-rocking tribute bands bring sounds of Van Halen, AC/DC to Falls River Square.

Rockin' on the River lived up to its billing Friday night with tribute bands featuring the sounds of Van Halen and AC/DC. 

Panama – a tribute to Van Halen opened the evening with tunes from the classic Van Halen lineup of David Lee Roth, Eddie and Alex Van Halen and Michael Anthony. Fans were treated to faithful covers of Runnin' with the Devil, Jump and, of course, Panama.

Thousands of people crowded the  for Friday night’s Rockin’ on the River. There was room to move around while Panama played, but the area quickly filled up for headliner Thunderstruck.
