WILKES-BARRE, PA (June 25, 2025) – The performance by the popular Bon Jovi tribute band, Jay Bon Jovi, originally scheduled outside for Party on the Patio at Mohegan Pennsylvania tomorrow evening has been moved to Friday night due to anticipated inclement weather.

Premium guests who are unable to make the rescheduled date will receive a full refund through their form of payment.
Jay Bon Jovi is a tribute band made up of five best friends who grew up on the anthems of the ’80s and now bring that same rock spirit to stages across the country. Combining members of 7800 Fahrenheit and Bon Poison, they deliver an immersive concert experience that faithfully recreates the sound, look, and feel of Bon Jovi’s iconic Slippery When Wet and New Jersey tours. From authentic instruments and costumes to the electrifying energy of their live shows, Ay Bon Jovi is the ultimate tribute for fans who want to relive the magic of Bon Jovi in their prime.
This event on Friday, June 27th will feature food by 2 Wayz One Passion. For more details on all things Party on the Patio, visit moheganpa.com/potp.
