Get ready, Western New York: the Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino “Outer Harbor Live” concert series at Terminal B is back in 2026 and better than ever.

The summer concert series kicks off with Cake on Friday, May 29. Known for its singles “Going the Distance” and “Short Skirt/Long Jacket,” the alt-rock group is back in Buffalo for the first time in a decade. Doors open at 7 p.m. for the 8 p.m. show.

Ashanti & Trey Songz perform the following week, on Thursday, June 4. Ashanti, the R&B singer known for early 2000s hits “Foolish” and “Baby,” will perform in Buffalo for the first time since 2017 along with Trey Songz, who achieved mainstream success with hit singles such as “Say Aah” and “Bottoms Up.”

Rapper, hip-hop mogul and nine-time Grammy Award nominee Rick Ross will perform Sunday, July 26. From his debut studio album “Port of Miami,” released in 2006, he was a steady presence atop the Billboard 200 throughout the mid-2000s and beyond.

On July 3, M&T Bank will present “Sound & Sky” on the Waterfront. From sweeping orchestral favorites to iconic themes, Western New Yorkers can gather for a powerful celebration of America 250, culminating in a glittering fireworks display over Lake Erie.

The concert will begin at 7 p.m., with fireworks immediately following at approximately 9:15 p.m. Tickets for this free performance are limited and available online, on a first-come, first-served basis. Foldable chairs will be permitted for this show but are subject to security inspection.

Other special live events include the debut of the Country Rising Festival on Friday, Aug. 28, and the return of the Tacos & Tequila Festival on Saturday, Aug. 29. The former promises a high-energy celebration featuring the next wave of boundary-pushing country artists, including BigXthaPlug, Redferrin and Graham Barham. As for Tacos & Tequila, it’s bringing early-2000s hip-hop and R&B along with big flavors, cold drinks and fun throwback vibes.

“Our third season at Terminal B is shaping up to be one of our most exciting yet,” said Lauren Ford, general manager, Buffalo Waterfront. “We’re thrilled to be bringing another diverse performer lineup to Buffalo – between the caliber of music and the stunning waterfront setting, there is no better place to make memories this summer.”
