As part of the 2026 North to Shore Festival, powerhouse vocalist Chris Pinnella (Trans-Siberian Orchestra) returns to AP Rooftop on Friday, June 19 for a breathtaking summer concert experience.

Set high above the boardwalk at the Arthur Pryor Bandshell, the stage will glow with 1,000+ candles, illuminating Pinnella and his phenomenal 12-piece orchestra for an unforgettable evening of music under the stars.

The concert features reimagined, genre-bending interpretations of legendary artists including The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Led Zeppelin, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Tears for Fears, Yaz, The Rolling Stones, Simon & Garfunkel, The Righteous Brothers, Leonard Cohen, and more.

The New York Times raves, “Pinnella possesses a soaring rich voice that just leaves you speechless. With his amazing band he takes each song into majestic territory.”
