From Jersey Shore to the Capital Region: DJ Pauly D Is Coming Back

Get Ready to Fist Pump Like it's 2009

Following two sold-out appearances, DJ Pauly D is officially coming back to the Capital Region, bringing his high-energy show to Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady on Friday, April 3, 2026.

Yes...Pauly D. The blowout king. The GTL icon. The guy who made fist pumping a full-body workout on Jersey Shore.

The Nostalgic Factor

And while DJ Pauly D is still very much a relevant, touring DJ today, there’s definitely a nostalgia factor here too. It’s hard to believe Jersey Shore first debuted all the way back in December of 2009.

If you need a refresher, that was the era of flip phones, Ed Hardy shirts, and Snookie walking around New Jersey beaches with a raging buzz and big fuzzy slippers.
