Sea.Hear.Now’s seventh annual festival is lingering in its return to Asbury Park.

Heavy metal band Metallica launched an auction through their charity, All Within My Hands, which will reward a winner with two VIP tickets to Sea.Hear.Now in 2025.

This does not mean the band is performing at the festival – the charity has launched giveaways like this for many festivals, including Coachella, where the band is not set to perform.

The tickets were donated by C3 Presents, the promoter of Sea.Hear.Now. SHN’s website has been updated to display messages like “Sign up to be the first to know about the 2025 lineup!” on the lineup page.

The current bid is at $700 and benefits the AWMH Helping Hands auction, but ends in 27 days.

No lineup has been announced yet, but in previously years, it has been released in the spring. In 2024, it was released in late June.
