The Sea.Hear.Now festival in Asbury Park, New Jersey, is poised to make waves this year with its star-studded lineup that includes powerhouse acts such as Blink-182, Hozier, and LCD Soundsystem. The beachside festival is scheduled to take place on September 13 and 14, setting the stage for an incredible weekend of music and entertainment. This vibrant event, founded by rock photographer Danny Clinch, Tim Donnelly, and HM Wollman, in collaboration with C3 Presents, is not just about music; it's a cultural celebration that combines performances with art and surf competitions.

Asbury Park’s shoreline will transform into a musical paradise with an array of acclaimed artists performing over the two days. The lineup features an eclectic mix of genres and includes notable names such as Lenny Kravitz, Alabama Shakes, Sublime, ZZ Top, Public Enemy, TV on The Radio, Spoon, and Phantogram. Joining them are acts like Remi Wolf, Royal Otis, and 4 Non Blondes, ensuring a diverse range of sounds to captivate audiences.

A key highlight of the festival is its emphasis on the arts and surfing culture, embodying the spirit of Asbury Park. Local visual artist Pork Chop will return with his captivating installation, while surf photographer Ben Currie’s work will also be showcased, anchoring the festival’s visual art components. This year's surfing competition promises to be exciting, with surfers like Landon McNamara, Cam Richards, and Mia Gallagher catching the waves, adding an exhilarating element to the event’s dynamic atmosphere.

The anticipation for tickets is high, with pre-sale starting on Friday, March 21, promising a mad dash as fans vie for the opportunity to join the festivities. Asbury Park residents have a special advantage, with a hometown deal allowing them to purchase tickets a day in advance, fostering a sense of community involvement and local participation.

Sea.Hear.Now has a reputation for its thoughtful curation, and past lineups have included legends like Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam. The festival draws a massive crowd, with an attendance of about 35,000 annually, celebrating its music, art, and coastal charm in a complete festival package that has become a staple event since it launched in 2018, with only a break in 2020 due to the pandemic.

Apart from the music and arts, attendees can look forward to the Transparent Clinch Gallery pop-up in Bradley Park, which will feature artwork from the musicians performing at the festival, with proceeds from sales benefiting local charities. This partnership reflects the festival’s commitment to supporting the local community and fostering a deeper connection between the audience and the performers, creating an enriching experience that goes beyond just the music.

The Sea.Hear.Now festival is not only an opportunity to watch some of the biggest names in music but also a chance to enjoy a holistic experience that includes surf culture and visual arts against the scenic backdrop of Asbury Park’s beaches. With its engaging lineup and community-oriented activities, this festival is set to offer an unforgettable experience for both music lovers and art aficionados alike.
