The National Rhythm & Blues Music Society Presents The 2026 Free Summer Concert at Boardwalk Hall
Sunday, July 12, 2026 @ 3PM
Boardwalk Hall - Adrian Philips Theater, 2301 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, NJ
Honor the classic soul and R&B artists of the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s whose music shaped everything that came after with this epic musical extravaganza, presented by The National Rhythm & Blues Music Society.
The show’s lineup reads like a soul/R&B hall of fame roll call: Tavares, Russell Thompkins Jr. & The New Stylistics, Wil Hart of The Original Delfonics, Billy Brown of Ray, Goodman & Brown, Blue Magic, Black Ivory, Allure, and Dennis Taylor — eight iconic acts sharing one stage for one night, and it’s completely free. Hosted by Maurice “The Voice” Watts with DJ Fah D. on the decks and the Ty Turner Band featuring Village Bridge opening the show, this is a full evening built for pure, uncut joy.
This concert is a testament that this music and the people who made it legendary still matter and are still making a powerful impact.
