102.9 MGK BIG GIG: The Doobie Brothers & The Coral Reefer Band

Rockin’ Down the Highway: The Doobie Brothers & The Coral Reefer Band Take Over Camden!

Prepare for a spectacular night of iconic sounds as two legendary bands come together for the 102.9 MGK BIG GIG! The GRAMMY Award-winning Doobie Brothers will share the stage with the beloved Coral Reefer Band at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, at 7:00 PM. This promises to be an unforgettable evening, blending classic rock anthems with the laid-back, sun-drenched vibes of the islands, all under the New Jersey sky.

The Doobie Brothers, true rock and roll Hall of Famers, have been captivating audiences for over five decades with their distinctive blend of roots-based, harmony-laden, and guitar-driven rock. With a catalog of indelible hits like “Listen to the Music,” “China Grove,” and “Black Water,” their live performances are renowned for their raw energy and tight musicianship. This tour features the reunited lineup, including founding members Patrick Simmons and Tom Johnston, alongside Michael McDonald and John McFee, ensuring fans will experience the full breadth of their incredible sound. Expect a journey through their vast discography, filled with the songs that have become the soundtrack to generations.

Joining them are the spirited members of The Coral Reefer Band. For decades, this incredibly talented ensemble was the touring and recording band for the late, great Jimmy Buffett, bringing his beloved “Parrothead” paradise to life. Now, under the leadership of ten-time CMA Musician of the Year Mac McAnally, The Coral Reefer Band continues to honor Buffett’s musical legacy, performing his classic hits and keeping the party going. Their unique blend of island sounds, country, and rock will bring a warm, escapist feel to the Camden waterfront, reminding everyone to embrace the good times.

This pairing is more than just a concert; it’s a celebration of enduring musical legacies and the power of songs to transcend time. The 102.9 MGK Big Gig consistently brings top-tier classic rock acts to the region, and this year’s lineup is no exception, offering a unique opportunity to experience two distinct yet equally captivating musical journeys on one stage.

The Freedom Mortgage Pavilion, with its picturesque setting on the Camden waterfront, provides an ideal backdrop for this summer evening concert.
