They’re billing it as “The Festival Only New Jersey Can Handle.” June is going to be crazy when the second annual North To Shore Festival comes back to over 100 venues in three cities—Asbury Park, Atlantic City and Newark—with over 300 acts including Gary Clark, Jr., Band Of Horses, Lake Street Drive, Bleachers, Steve Forbert and many others in Asbury Park (June 10-16), Keyshia Cole, Prince Royce, The B-52s, Barenaked Ladies, Frankie Valli and many others in Atlantic City (June 17-23) and Matchbox 20, Kevin Hart, Gabriel Iglesias, Brothers Osborne, Samara Joy and many others in Newark (June 24-30).

Between the concerts, film screenings, live podcasts, food, panels and the performances that were just announced (Jeezy, Scarface, Trey Songz and, yes, many others), one could lose one’s self in an unmitigated frenzy of joyous partying. Get Down!! As produced by the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, last year’s inaugural event drew over a quarter of a million people and estimates run even higher this year.

Governor Phil Murphy: “Our inaugural North to Shore Festival was the beginning of a proud, new annual tradition that brings some of the biggest stars to New Jersey to bolster our tourism industry and boost demand for our local businesses. I’m thrilled to announce this year’s lineup…even bigger and better…and we look forward to welcoming those from near and far to experience our unique state this summer.”
