Downtown Tampa’s no-cover, pet-and-family-friendly concert series is on the move, for this month at least, and lands a mile north on the Tampa Riverwalk at Water Works Park.

This Rock the Park Tampa bill is a doozy, too, showcasing the future of Tampa Bay’s music scene thanks to sets from emerging emo band Maily Rock (FFO of Boygenius, Jay Som) and genre-bending St. Pete rapper-songwriter 9henom.

The night closes with a high-energy blast from the past care of The Brainiacs, which features members of beloved NYC ska band The Toasters and Bay area giant of the genre, Magadog.

There’s no cover for Rock The Park Tampa happening this month at Water Works Park in Tampa on Thursday, March 6.

Look for Rock the Park to return to its longtime home at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park in April.
