Check out our full in-depth guide for a perfect weekend at Sea.Hear.Now!


Bands

Saturday

Not Yer Baby (Park Stage; 12:20 p.m.)

Genre: Indie dance-punk

Origin: Asbury Park, NJ

Songs to know: Sleeping Well, Gemini

Our take: Not Yer Baby is a local act opening the festival up on the Park Stage. The dance-punk quartet is known around the local scene as a band that puts on a party on stage with very infectious energy (thanks to their lead singer, Carrot. We thought that was a noteworthy enough name to add).

Not only is the group phenomenal on stage, they’re pretty cool off stage, too. The band has helped raise awareness for local initiatives around the community.

If you’re at the festival early, the band is a must-see act. They’re super fun, and this set is well-deserved for the quartet.

Phoneboy (Sand Stage; 12:20 p.m.)

Genre: Indie rock

Origin: Hoboken, NJ  (2018)

Songs to know: Talking to Heads, Ferrari

Our take: It’s unfortunate that two of New Jersey’s best to offer are going at the same time, but Phoneboy is another amazing group to check out early on Saturday. The band released their third full-length record this year, “Heartbreak Designer,” which has allowed a wave of new fans to attach to their music.

The band formed in Hoboken at Stevens Institute of Technology and named themselves ‘Phoneboy’ due to guitarist Ricky Dana’s constant phone usage.

Phoneboy has had success over the years and will likely continue to grow – there is great value in catching them so early!

Bumpin’ Uglies (Surf Stage; 1:05 p.m.)

Genre: Reggae

Origin: Annapolis, MD (2008)

Songs to know: Hallucinations, White Boy Reggae

Our take: Bumpin’ Uglies are kicking off the main stage with a mix of reggae, ska, and punk. The band formed over 15 years ago under the influence of Sublime, Goldfinger, and Bad Religion, and bring energy while still focusing on the technical side of the music.

The group released their eighth studio album last year, “Lyrics Over Everything” — a motto for their music. Their 2022 record, “Mid-Atlantic Dub,” charted on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart. That record, along with “Keep It Together,” charted No. 3 on Billboard’s Reggae Albums chart, along with “Beast From the East” at No. 1 in 2018.

Inhaler (Park Stage; 1:50 p.m.)

Genre: Alternative rock

Origin: Dublin, Ireland

Songs to know: My Honest Face, Open Wide

Our take: Inhaler is way too good to be playing this early and for such a short amount of time. This is a must-see act and one of the best on the entire lineup.

Inhaler is an Irish band, though they could be mistaken as originating from anywhere. The band is led by Elijah Hewson, the son of U2’s Bono.

The band is currently on the “Open Wide” tour across North America, following the success of “Cuts & Bruises” in 2023 which saw them opening for Pearl Jam in America and headlining arenas in Europe.

You can’t miss Inhaler this year — make sure to check them out on the Park Stage.

Mondo Cozmo (Sand Stage; 1:50 p.m.)

Genre: Folk rock

Origin: Philadelphia, PA

Songs to know: Meant for Livin’, Shine

Our take: Mondo Cozmo is super cool. Josh Ostrander, the guy behind rock bands Laguardia and Eastern Conference Champions, who now goes by the stage name ‘Mondo Cozmo,’ has been in the game for many years. As a local to Philly who now lives in Los Angeles, it’ll be close to a homecoming show for him at Sea.Hear.Now.

In 2016, Ostrander began recording under his new stage name, and months later, his single “Shine” reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult Alternative Songs chart.

Mondo Cozmo has continued touring, including opening for Vance Joy in 2018. He’ll have a really cool set on the Sand Stage.

UB40 (Surf Stage; 2:35 p.m.)

Genre: Reggae

Origin: Birmingham, England

Songs to know: Red Red Wine, Can’t Help Falling in Love

Our take: If you want an hour of nostalgia, you can’t miss UB40.

Everyone knows their biggest hit, “Red Red Wine,” which hit No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 in 1984. You might also know “Can’t Help Falling in Lover,” which stayed atop the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks in 1993.

The group has had seven singles chart on the Hot 100 and nine records on the Billboard Hot 200.

There’s no reason not to see UB40 on the Main Stage. If you enjoyed the nostalgia acts like Kool & the Gang and The Beach Boys in previous years, you’ll like this one, too.

Gigi Perez (Park Stage; 3:35 p.m.)

Genre: Indie pop

Origin: Hackensack, NJ

Songs to know: Celene, Sailor Song

Our take: Another local is hitting the stage at Sea.Hear.Now: Gigi Perez.

Perez has made a name for herself on social media, after going viral on TikTok for “Celene” and “Sometimes (Backwood).” Not long after, she released “Sailor Song,” which reached No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100. The success has helped her earn opportunities to play shows in support of Coldplay, Hozier, Noah Cyrus, and Girl in Red.

Her debut full-length album, “At the Beach, in Every Life” was released in April.

Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue (Sand Stage; 3:35 p.m.)

Genre: Jazz/funk

Origin: New Orleans, LA

Songs to know: Do to Me

Our take: There’s a lot to unpack with Trombone Shorty.

First off, he and his backing band put on a great show every time. The whole group is very talented and can play to any crowd.

Secondly is Trombone Shorty’s resume. He debuted at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Fest at age four–after being invited on stage by Bo Diddley–and probably the youngest to perform at the festival, he toured as a trombonist for Lenny Kravitz opening for Aerosmith in 2005, he performed with U2 and Green Day at the Louisiana Superdome in 2006, appeared in episodes of HBO Series ‘Treme’ in 2010, has performed on nearly every late-night show (Conan, Letterman, Leno, Kimmel), performed for Obama at the White House (twice) in 2015, and is now doing his own act with his band. I know, it’s a lot.

Trombone Shorty is also an avid philanthropist, establishing the ‘Horns for Schools Project’ to help schools in New Orleans receive instruments. On top of that, he established the ‘Trombone Shorty Foundation’ in 2012.

Not sure what else there is to say. You have to check him out.

ZZ Top (Surf Stage; 4:35 p.m.)

Genre: Southern rock

Origin: Houston, TX (1969)

Songs to know: Sharp Dressed Man, La Grange

Our take: ZZ Top is a 56-year-old band that is still kicking it like it’s the 1970s.

The band still consists of 2/3 of its original lineup with vocalist and guitarist Billy Gibbons performing alongside drummer Frank Beard. Elwood Francis steps in for the late Dusty Hill on bass.

ZZ Top is responsible for a lot of the southern rock guitar and rhythm sound you hear today. They’re snarky and have some humorous lyrics – they sound just about how they look.

Yes, the band still rocks the crazy beards and car theme on stage, and rocks the country all over. The band has released 15 studio albums and has sold over 50 million records, with the pinnacle of their success coming in 2004 when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

In 2015, Rolling Stone ranked Gibbons the 32nd-greatest guitarist of all time.

Remi Wolf (Park Stage; 5:35 p.m.)

Genre: Pop

Origin: Palo Alto, CA

Songs to know: Photo ID, Cinderella

Our take: Remi Wolf has taken over the pop airwaves over the last few years.

Wolf’s mainstream music career began in 2014, when she appeared on American Idol as a senior in high school. She eventually released her first EP in 2019, and her debut full-length album, “Juno,” in 2021.

Wolf blends pop, soul, and funk into one for her own unique sound. Over the years, she’s collaborated with names like Dominic Fike, Still Woozy, and has toured with Olivia Rodrigo, Paramore, Lorde, and Halsey.

De La Soul (Sand Stage; 5:35 p.m.)

Genre: Hip hop

Origin: Amityville, NY (1988)

Songs to know: Me Myself and I, Feel Good Inc.

Our take: De La Soul is NYC hip hop at its finest.

The group, known for its soft and lighthearted lyricism, has been active since the ‘80s and continues to record music.

The band has been nominated for six Grammy Awards, winning one in 2006 for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals with Gorillaz. The same track was also nominated for Record of the Year and Best Short Form Music Video in 2006. They were nominated as a solo act in the rap category in both 1990 and 2017.

The band’s set will be super fun and nostalgic, and one that will be tough to miss on the Sand Stage.

Alabama Shakes (Surf Stage; 6:35 p.m.)

Genre: Blues rock

Origin: Athens, AL (2009)

Songs to know: Hold On, Don’t Wanna Fight

Our take: Recently reunited Alabama Shakes are taking on the main stage at Sea.Hear.Now this year, one that is much anticipated by the SHN crowd.

Led by Brittany Howard, the band was active for nine years between 2009 and 2018, before reuniting in late 2024.

The four-time Grammy Award winners will be one of many bands on the day to have been nominated for the awards. They won three in 2016, two for single “Don’t Wanna Fight” and Best Alternative Music Album for “Sound & Color.” When they debuted, they were nominated for Best New Artist in 2013.

LCD Soundsystem (Park Stage; 7:35 p.m.)

Genre: EDM/dance

Origin: Brooklyn, NY (2002)

Songs to know: Daft Punk Is Playing at My House, Losing My Edge

Our take: LCD is making a rare live appearance at Sea.Hear.Now on Saturday night, performing for 75-minutes on the Park Stage.

The band, led by James Murphy, is an EDM/dance group, but they really fit into too many categories to count. That being said, they are a rare EDM booking for SHN.

The band has the longest song of all bands on this year’s lineup, “45:33,” which is 45 minutes and 33 seconds long.

The group’s 2017 single, “Tonite,” won the Grammy’s Best Dance Recording award. They have also won a plethora of awards at the New York Music Awards, Webby’s, UK Music Video Awards, and Rober Awards Music Poll.

Royel Otis (Sand Stage; 7:35 p.m.)

Genre: Indie rock

Origin: Sydney, Australia (2019)

Songs to know: Linger, Murder on the Dancefloor, Heading for the Door

Our take: Going head-to-head against LCD, the band will be closing out the Sand Stage on night one of Sea.Hear.Now.

The Australian group released Hickey in 2025, which was met with backlash of alleged misogynistic lyrics. The band was also accused of deleting online comments on their posts that criticized lead single “Moody.”

The band’s management later apologized, stating the song was “not intended to convey a broader view or standpoint about women in general.”

Despite the backlash, “Moody” still reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 list.

Hozier (Surf Stage; 8:50 p.m.)

Genre: Rock

Origin: Newcastle, Ireland

Songs to know: Take Me to Church, Too Sweet

Our take: Hozier has been a powerhouse of pop, rock, and blues for over a decade now.

The Irish singer will close out night one of Sea.Hear.Now on the Main Stage, with a set expected to last around an hour and 40-minutes.

Hozier’s debut single, “Take Me to Church,” peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, but became a rock radio hit in the U.S. and was certified for multi-platinum in many countries.

In 2024, his success surged with the release of “Too Sweet,” which was a No. 1 single in the U.S., Ireland, and the U.K.

Hozier was named on Time magazine’s list of 100 most influential people in the world in 2025.

Sunday

Surfing for Daisy (Park Stage; 12:30 p.m.)

Genre: Folk rock

Origin: Asbury Park, NJ

Songs to know: Rio de Janeiro, Jammin’ G (Saturday Night)

Our take: Surfing for Daisy is a folk rock band from Asbury Park, ready to open up the Park Stage in their hometown.

The group is always playing local gigs, and is releasing a live album from the Wonder Bar on Saturday, Sept. 13.

The six-piece released their full-length self-titled record in January of this year.

The Tide Bends (Sand Stage; 12:30 p.m.)

Genre: Rock

Origin: Asbury Park, NJ (2016)

Songs to know: Keeper, Thrust

Our take: The Tide Bends is a newer group on the local Asbury scene, blending a British rock sound with classic psychedelics.

The band consists of alumni from rock groups like The World Conclave, Dentist, and Elemae. The band’s interest in brit-rock sounds is responsible for a lot of their own sound, with influence from bands like The Stone Roses, Oasis, and state-side bands like Queens of the Stone Age and Beck.

Definitely check out both locals if you can on Sunday afternoon!

Neal Francis (Surf Stage; 1:15 p.m.)

Genre: Indie rock

Origin: Livingston, NJ

Songs to know: What’s Left of Me, Problems

Our take: Neal Francis is the first to kick off the main stage on Sunday afternoon. His sound blends indie rock with psychedelic influences, plus a little bit of a classic New Orleans sound.

Francis’ first full-length record was released in 2019, followed by “In Plain Sight,” which received national success. Earlier this year, he released “Return to Zero,” his third record, which was described as “a sonic kaleidoscope of soaring funk, seductive soul, and undulating rock” by the Rolling Stone. He appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Soon after to perform “What’s Left of Me.”

Grace Bowers & the Hodge Podge (Park Stage; 2:00 p.m.)

Genre: Indie rock

Origin: Nashville, TN

Songs to know: Wine on Venus, Won No Teg

Our take: Grace Bowers is an 18-year-old singer/songwriter and one of the best guitar players on this festival’s lineup.

She released her debut album, “Wine on Venus,” which was produced by John Osborne of Brothers Osborne, and it immediately was a success. 

Bowers was born in the Bay Area of California, but started her band in Nashville, with a sound inspired by B.B. King. She has collaborated live with Chris Martin of Coldplay at the Grammy Awards, Peter Frampton and Trey Anastasio at the Beacon Theater, Dolly Parton, and Lainey Wilson.

In the past year, Bowers has toured with The Red Clay Strays, Gary Clark Jr., Slash, and The Roots. On top of that, she was awarded Instrumentalist of the Year at the 2024 Americana Music Association Honors, and was named a U.S. Global Music Ambassador by the U.S. Department of State.

Landon McNamara (Sand Stage; 2:00 p.m.)

Genre: Reggae

Origin: Hawaii

Songs to know: Don’t Go Away, Stony Haze

Our take: Landon McNamara is all over this festival. Not only is he performing and contributing to the Transparent Clinch Gallery art tent, he’ll also be part of the North Beach Surf Contest.

With inspiration from Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley, McNamara blends reggae, blues, and rock ‘n’ roll into his own sound.

4 Non Blondes (Surf Stage; 3:00 p.m.)

Genre: Rock

Origin: San Francisco CA (1989)

Songs to know: What’s Up?

Our take: Everyone knows “What’s Up?” — it’s one of the biggest songs out there.

That song, the band’s second single, peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100, and reached No. 1 in Austria, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland. It also hit No. 2 in the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand.

After releasing their first album, “Bigger, Better, Faster, More!” in 1992, the band toured for just two years before lead singer Linda Perry left the band, ultimately leading to the band to split. That record spent 59 weeks on the Billboard 200, selling over 1.5 million copies in the two years between its release and their split.

The band performed a one-off show in 2014 for the Los Angeles LGBT Center, and reunited once again in May of this year at BottleRock Festival. This will be their third show in 31 years.

Spoon (Park Stage; 4:00 p.m.)

Genre: Indie rock

Origin: Austin, TX (1993)

Songs to know: The Underdog, The Way We Get By

Our take: Spoon is an indie/art rock band from Texas, consisting of five touring members.

The band found most of its success in the 2000s, with “Gimme Fiction” in 2005 selling more than 160,000 copies, and their 2007 hit record “Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga” debuting at No. 10 on the Billboard 200. That year, the band were the musical guests on Saturday Night Live, performing “The Underdog” and “You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb.”

In 2022, Spoon made a return with their tenth record, “Lucifer on the Sofa,” which was nominated for Best Rock Album at the Grammy Awards. The band opened for Weezer on tour the next year.

They’ll be a fun set for a band who has been consistent for over 30 years.

Mannequin Pussy (Sand Stage; 4:00 p.m.)

Genre: Punk rock

Origin: Philadelphia, PA (2010)

Songs to know: I Got Heaven, Who You Are

Our take: These Philly natives will be one of the only full-on punk bands at the festival this year, and they’ve been making waves for the past decade.

Mannequin Pussy, who have been releasing music off of Epitaph Records, released their fourth full-length LP last year, “I Got Heaven.” Before that, they released an EP which featured two tracks on HBO’s Mare of Easttown miniseries.

Public Enemy (Surf Stage; 5:00 p.m.)

Genre: Hip hop

Origin: Hempstead, NY (1985)

Songs to know: Fight the Power, Bring the Noise

Our take: Flavor Flav and Chuck D, two hip hop legends in their own name, co-founded Public Enemy in 1985, permanently changing the world of hip hop music.

The band received mainstream success in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, with their debut record “Yo! Bum Rush the Show.” The band’s political themes regarding racism and the media boosted their success. In 1990, they released “Fear of a Black Planet,” their most politically-infused and successful record. The record includes “Fight the Power,” which is widely regarded as one of the most influential songs in hip hop history.

Over the years, the band has been nominated for five Grammy Awards, with four for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group, and one for Best Metal Performance on “Bring the Noise” with Anthrax.

In 2013, the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

TV on the Radio (Park Stage; 6:00 p.m.)

Genre: Art rock

Origin: Brooklyn, NY (2001)

Songs to know: Wolf Like Me, Staring at the Sun, Golden Age

Our take: TV on the Radio is art rock royalty and is respected by some of America’s biggest bands.

The band’s hit record, “Dear Science,” was released in 2008 and debuted at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 200. The record was named best album of 2008 by Rolling Stone, The Guardian, Spin, MTV, Entertainment Weekly, and Pitchfork.

After being on-and-off in recording and shows, the band announced that they would return to touring in 2025 for their first shows in five years.

Hot Mulligan (Sand Stage; 6:00 p.m.)

Genre: Midwest emo

Origin: Lansing, MI (2014)

Songs to know: *Equip Sunglasses*, Bckyrd, Featuring Mark Hoppus

Our take: Hot Mulligan is the hottest new band in pop punk at the moment.

In 2020, the group released their second album, “You’ll Be Fine,” which featured some of their biggest hits like “*Equip Sunglasses*,” “Sps,” and “Bckyrd.”

The band has their own unique sound, but could be compared to groups like The Story So Far, Knuckle Puck, Real Friends, and Neck Deep. They are notably a great live band, and headlined the Atlantic City Beer & Music Festival a few years ago.

Lenny Kravitz (Surf Stage; 7:00 p.m.)

Genre: Rock

Origin: New York, NY

Songs to know: Fly Away, Again

Our take: Lenny really doesn’t need an introduction. He’s a rock singer, a producer, an actor, and Al Roker’s second cousin.

Kravitz received the Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for four years straight between 1992 and 2002, breaking the record for most wins of said award and the most consecutive wins in one category by a single male performer.

He’s sold over 40 million records worldwide and was ranked on VH1’s 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock list.

Kravitz performed at the Super Bowl XLIX halftime show with Katy Perry

He also had a prominent acting career, including an appearance in Precious in 2009, and The Hunger Games series from 2012 to 2013.

Sublime (Park Stage; 8:00 p.m.)

Genre: Reggae

Origin: Long Beach, CA (1988)

Songs to know: What I Got, Santeria

Our take: Sublime is the most popular reggae band of all time.

After lead singer Bradley Nowell’s death in 1996, the band members went their own way. That year, their self-titled third record peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard 200, and “What I Got” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.

The band attempted to reunite with reggae rocker Rome Ramirez on lead vocals in 2009, but a judge ruled that the band could not tour under the Sublime name. The band then went on to tour as “Sublime with Rome.”

In 2023, Nowell’s son, Jakob, joined the original lineup to reunite as Sublime. The band has since released two original singles: “Feel Like That” and “Ensenada.” The group noted that they are working on a new album, which is to be produced by Travis Barker and John Feldmann. It would be their first album since 1996.

Phantogram (Sand Stage; 8:00 p.m.)

Genre: Electronic rock

Origin: Greenwich, NY (2007)

Songs to know: Fall in Love, You Don’t Get Me High Anymore

Our take: Phantogram has the unfortunately reality of going head-to-head to one of the most influential bands of all time, but they should still draw a large crowd.

The band’s five studio albums have given them a nice collection of hits, including two tracks that reached the top-10 on Billboard’s US Alternative chart. Their third record, “Three,” reached top-10 on Billboard 200.

Blink-182 (Surf Stage; 9:00 p.m.)

Genre: Pop punk

Origin: Poway, CA (1992)

Songs to know: All the Small Things, I Miss You

Our take: blink-182 is one of the biggest pop punk bands to succeed in the reunion/nostalgia era of rock. They will have headlined the When We Were Young festival twice at the end of this year, the biggest pop punk festival in the world.

After many lineup shakes, the group is back with Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker, and they released their ninth record, “ONE MORE TIME…” in 2023. They’ve sold over 50 million albums worldwide.

This will be their second New Jersey show since their reunion – they headlined the Adjacent Festival in Atlantic City in May of 2023, one of their first shows back.

The band is currently in the midst of their “Missionary Impossible” tour with Matt Skiba’s Missionary Impossible, their former bandmate.


Festival Basics: Stages, Map, Schedule

For an in-depth look at the festival’s daily schedules, look below.

Aside from the music, you can also check out the North Beach Surf Contest on both days.

Below is a visual of the festival map.

New on the map for this year is the inclusion of the area south of Convention Hall. The area will house the Transparent Clinch Gallery, beer and merch, and local Asbury Park vendors. The Wonder Bar will also be included in the grounds.

The Verizon tent in the middle of the beach has also appears to have been removed, which should improve sightlines from afar.

Surf Stage:

The main stage at the festival is known as the Surf Stage. It includes two large screens on the stage itself, as well with a screen in the middle of the crowd on the beach, and one off to the side near the ocean.

Note that blankets and towels are not allowed within close proximity of the stage, nor are they allowed in VIP areas.

Sand Stage:

The Sand Stage is the other sand beach, set up against the north side of Convention Hall. The stage is the festival’s tertiary stage, which still pulls good acts, particularly in the mid-afternoon.

The stage has no video screens, so if you really want to see an artist, make sure you allow enough time to get close to the stage. You can also easily view artists from the boardwalk in the afternoon. It gets a little packed in the evening hours.

Park Stage:

The Park Stage is set up in Bradley Park on Webb St. Of all stages, it is our favorite.

The stage has two screens, but generally, it’s easy to get close, and the acoustics are great since there are typically no strong winds from the ocean.

The GA+ lounge is also located near the Park Stage.


Danny Clinch & the Transparent Clinch Gallery

Aside from music, one of the festival attractions is Danny Clinch’s Transparent Clinch Gallery pop-up. While his gallery is located right next to the venue, the team puts up a pop-up tent with both Clinch’s photos and art from musicians performing at Sea.Hear.Now.

Along with art, you’ll often find pop-up acoustic performances from artists. In previous years, Max Weinberg, Guster, Nathaniel Rateliff, and Mt. Joy have made live performances. Noah Kahan also popped in to explore the art with fans last year.

This year, the gallery is now located on the south side of Convention Hall as opposed to Bradley Park.
