Sea.Hear.Now returns to North Beach and Bradley Park in Asbury Park, New Jersey on September 13 and 14, 2025, running each day from noon until night, on the scenic waterfront at 1300 Ocean Avenue. This event has been running since 2018, except for 2020 when Covid forced cancellation. This two‑day festival fuses live music, art exhibits, local eats, and the surf culture tradition with a professional surf contest set between the stages—plus beachside galleries and boardwalk parades.
The star‑studded lineup features Hozier, Blink‑182, Lenny Kravitz, and LCD Soundsystem as headliners. Saturday’s roster includes Alabama Shakes, ZZ Top, Remi Wolf, De La Soul, UB40, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Inhaler, Mondo Cozmo, Bumpin Uglies, Gigi Perez, and Not Yer Baby. Sunday amps things up with Lenny Kravitz, Sublime, Public Enemy, TV on the Radio, Spoon, Phantogram, 4 Non Blondes, Hot Mulligan, Mannequin Pussy, Grace Bowers & the Hodge Podge, Neal Francis, Landon McNamara, Surfing For Daisy, and The Tide Bends. Alongside the over 25 musical acts, 15 elite surfers will compete in the annual North Beach Rumble contest.
It has grown substantially over the last 7 years and is consistently one of the highlights of the Jersey Shore summer season. Hope to see you there!
