The Offspring, Fontaines D.C., Chaka Khan, and Pixies are also slated to perform at the festival, which will feature a surf contest and art installations alongside the musical performances.

More than 25 artists will perform across three stages located on the beach at North Beach and in Bradley Park. A two-day surf contest will showcase East Coast professional surfers, including Sam Hammer, Cassidy McClain, Cam Richards, Balaram Stack, and Rob Kelly. The Transparency Gallery will exhibit artwork from musicians performing at the festival, with proceeds benefiting Asbury Park charities.

Presale tickets will be available on March 26 at 10 a.m. ET, followed by a general on-sale at 11 a.m. ET, if tickets remain. Ticket options include two-day and one-day general admission, as well as GA+, VIP, and Platinum packages.
