Get ready for a night of classic rock as Keep the Faith: Bon Jovi Tribute headlines the final Music Onthe42 Summer Concert Series performance of the season on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at the SUNSET® Amphitheatre in Seacliff Park.

Presented by the Municipality of Leamington and produced by The Bank Theatre, this free outdoor concert gets underway at 6:30 PM with This Thing We Started, a tribute to Bryan Adams, followed by Keep the Faith at 8:30 PM.

Keep the Faith delivers the energy and excitement of a Bon Jovi concert, taking audiences back to the band’s biggest hits of the 1980s and 1990s and beyond. Fronted by Bon Jovi look-alike and sound-alike Chris Newman, the high-energy tribute features favourites including Livin’ on a Prayer, Wanted Dead or Alive, It’s My Life and Always, along with deeper cuts and other songs familiar to longtime Bon Jovi fans.

“This is a fantastic way to wrap up another Music Onthe42 Summer Concert Series,” said Mayor Hilda MacDonald. “The music of Bon Jovi and Bryan Adams has been the soundtrack to so many memories, and I know people will have a lot of fun singing along to songs they’ve known and loved for decades. We invite everyone to join us for one more great evening of live music at the SUNSET® Amphitheatre.”
