Traditionally there has been a mix of country and rock music at the Gem City Summer Concert Series and 2025 is no different. Friday night July 18th Gavin Adcock will headline opening night. The former college football player who leaned into his musical skills following a knee injury has a rock style edge to his songs. A style that has come into favor in country music over the last year plus. His visit to Quincy is in the midst of his appearances on this years “Rock the Country” tour.

More artists will be announced in supporting roles in the coming weeks, but get your crew together from the area, or better yet bring friends and family from afar to spend the weekend in Quincy for the Gem City Summer Concert Series 2025.
